Description
“Christmas won't be Christmas without any corpses.”
The dear, sweet March sisters are back, and Marmee has told them to be good little women. Good little vampire women that is. That's right: Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy have grown up since you last read their tale, and now they have (much) longer lives and (much) more ravenous appetites.
Marmee has taught them well, and so they live by an unprecedented moral code of abstinence . . . from human blood. Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy must learn to get along with one another, help make society a better place, and avoid the vampire hunters who pose a constant threat to their existence. Plus, Laurie is dying to become a part of the March family, at any cost. Some things never change.
This horrifying—and hilarious—retelling of a timeless American classic will leave readers craving the bloodthirsty drama on each and every page.
Advance Praise
". . . Those who have [read the original] will be delighted by Messina's clever and loving spoof, replete with excellent wordplay and footnotes to clarify vampire history." –Booklist Online
"Alcott's classic receives the Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (2009) treatment—and it's surprisingly effective. The original March family was characterized by their poverty, independence, and firm morals in the face of wealthy neighbors and decadent temptations. The vampire version has the equally poor Marches resisting the urge to dine on humans, instead drinking the blood of rats, beavers, and in Beth's case, her beloved kittens... [this is a] clever and loving spoof, replete with excellent wordplay and footnotes to clarify vampire history." –Debbie Carton, BookList
