Unhinged: A Pride and Prejudice Pop Culture Parody Collection
In this irreverent, wildly imaginative collection, Jane Austen's beloved world is gleefully upended and reimagined through the lens of pop culture, fantasy, time travel, and musical mayhem. "Unhinged: A Pride and Prejudice Pop-Culture Parody Collection" features four delightfully twisted novellas that throw decorum to the wind and invite Elizabeth Bennet and her companions into some of the strangest and most hilarious adventures Regency England has ever seen.
"The Traveller" - Elizabeth Bennet never expected the aftermath of her first proposal to lead to a romp through time. Whisked away by a mysterious time traveller and his colourful companion, the pair must journey across centuries to prevent a villainous disruption in Queen Victoria's timeline. Along the way, they encounter chewing gum, conspiracies, and complications of the heart."Beautiful Magic" - The Bennet sisters are no ordinary young ladies-they're wizards, trained in the art of magic at the The Everwynne School of Wizardry. When two powerful and enigmatic wizards, Messrs. Bingley and Darcy, arrive in Hertfordshire, sparks fly-both magical and romantic. But not everyone is pleased to see Elizabeth catching Mr. Darcy's eye. As rivalries and forbidden enchantments swirl, Elizabeth finds herself a target of jealousy and malice. In a world where power can corrupt and magic conceals as much as it reveals, her greatest challenge may not be mastering spells-but surviving a courtship.
"I'll Be Loving You" - When Elizabeth's cousin, a member of America's hottest boyband, "The New Beaux of Boston" inherits an Earldom, the entire band visits Meryton on a Regency tour. The local ladies are completely swooned-and the local gentlemen - even the regiment - thoroughly outshined. As the battle for attention heats up, Darcy and Bingley must compete with pop stars, dance moves, and catchy ballads for the Bennet sisters' affections.
"The Moffats in Meryton" - When a colorful troupe of traveling entertainers visit Netherfield, they upend life as the gentry know it. Led by the unflappable Sir Kermit MacDermott, the Moffats are eccentric performers whose names, flamboyant attire, and personalities are suspiciously reminiscent of a certain variety show from another universe. With the dramatic Miss Portia Everard, the mysteriously continental Signore Gonzalo Ganso, and the aspiring humorist Mr Fosworth Bearleigh in tow, they bring musical mayhem, theatrical chaos, and more than a few romantic entanglements. Can polite society survive an operatic duel in the ballroom and a comedy revue in the drawing room?
Whether you're a longtime Austenite or just here for frog jokes, Unhinged is a joyous, satirical romp through Regency romance with a dash of madness and a wink to fandoms you never expected to find in Austenesque Fiction.
