Today's Tuesday Book Teaser comes from the prequel to Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.
Title: Dawn Of The Dreadfuls
Author: Steve Hockensmith
Mr. Bennet nodded sagely, then looked at Elizabeth again, eyebrow cocked.
"You know, I'm suddenly put in mind of the next move I should like to teach you all. It is called the Fulcrum of Doom."
If you want gore, horror, romance, action, comedy, and of course zombies, this is the book for you.

Today's WIP teaser comes from an as yet untitled doppelganger story I am writing.
I stared at myself with absolute horror. It wasn't every day the other me - the one from a parallel universe - demanded we job share.
Are there any books or stories you want to tease us with?

I love dopplegangers. I'm also writing one about them, but hopefully putting a unique twist on them.
Dopplegangers are soooo creepy! I'm gonna have to check out the book you shared... thanks for posting!
i'm surprised someone hasn't written a prequel to the actual Pride and Prejudice (Modesty and Moderation?).

I have been wary as to whether I should read Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. Maybe I should give it a go? Would you recommend it?
LOL! I likwe the sound of the job share :O)
Liked this post, Ellie. Loved the way you combined the book teaser with A-Z.
Loved the picture on your teaser. Interesting concept as well.
Ooo doppelgangers. Creepy.
Job-sharing with your doppelganger - what a deliciously chilling idea!
Good grief!! Zombies and dopplegangers and horror, oh my! LOL!!!
Brilliant!! I love your wip teaser!!!!
Yay for D-Day!! Take care

Your WIP teaser is great!

Most enjoyable to read Ellie.

I haven't read any of those zombie redos but they sound interesting. Dopplegangers are cool. Sounds like a fun projecte!
I've never been interested in the P,P, & Z; however, the teaser definitely teases. Hmmm...I'll have to think about reading it.
Love your doppelganger teaser! I want to read more! :o) Thanks for sharing. Happy Tuesday!
Scary looking!!
did someone say "zooooooommmmmmmbiiiiiiieeeesss", great on the "d" post lady.

Where do I sign up to get a doppelganger to share my job? I want one.
The cover on dawn is very creepy but intriguing.
I know I have one, if I can just turn around fast enough -- always, just on the edge of my vision!

Great teaser! I didn't know there was a prequel. I'll have to take a look at it. Hope you have a great day.
Dopplegangers are fun in stories, but I lived in a town for awhile where mine lived. That was not cool. haha
ahhh, those dreadfuls. Got hubs the P&P&Zs back when it was out, and he enjoyed it. I haven't read it. Clever stuff.
But aren't Dopplegangers supposed to be EVIL??? :D <3
Doppelgangers are a fun tool to use. Remember the Star Trek parallel universe? Spock had a goatee, I think, and Kirk was randy as ever. LOL Loved it!
Dopplegangers, huh? Brilliant minds and all that. =D
I don't like gore that much so your WIP excerpt sounded more interesting.
I haven't read any of the Quirk Classics, though my wife has devoured them. I guess they're written too much in the "classic" style for me.
Dopplegangers, on the other hand (that's my doppleganger's other hand I'm talking about), are awesome.
Dawn of the Dreadfuls sounds like it would be an interesting read. I will have to add it to my list.
Thanks for stopping by my blog today. I look forward to following along during this A-Z challenge!
oooh, zombies are always intriguing. What throws them off kilter... Thanks for sharing; I will have to add this one to my reading list~
Doppelgangers are fun to write about!
Sounds like a book I might like. Thank you so much for stopping by and following my blog.
This is awesome! I love how the classics are being reintroduced to a modern generation :) I just hope they eventually go to the original classics too.

Wow, both sound very interesting! Thank you for sharing with us! ;)

Great teasers. dopplegangers are cool stories...wonderfully creepy.
I didn't realize Dawn of the Dreadfuls was a prequel to Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. Very cool.
I don't read horror, but I could be persuaded if there's comedy in there. :D
What age group is Dawn Of The Dreadfuls suitable for?

Doppelgangers are a really cool concept!
it looks like the book is haunting.
love the illustrations.
I thought about using doppelgangers for my topic today too. =)
Love, love the title of this book. I'm going to have check it out asap. Zombies...I'm so there. Your WIP sounds incredibly intriguing. Job sharing with my parallel universe self. Some days I wish I did have another me. :)
I need to start reading these 'classic + undead' novels. Then at least I can say I've read Austen and be kind of serious hehe.
