Jane Slayre

The LIterary Classic with a Blood-Sucking Twist

De: Sherri Browning Erwin, Charlotte Brontë

Narrado por: Rosalyn Landor

Raised by vampyre relatives, Jane grows to resent the lifestyle's effect on her upbringing. No sunlight, nighttime hours, and a diet of bloody red meat is no way for a mortal girl to live. Things change for Jane when the ghost of her uncle visits her, imparts her parents' slayer history, and charges her with the responsibility of striking out to find others of her kind and learn the slayer ways.

After trying her luck at a school full of zombies, Jane finds a position as a governess, where she meets and falls in love with Mr. Rochester. But evil strikes in the form of Mr. Rochester's first wife, a violent werewolf he keeps locked in the attic. Jane departs to study the slayer tradition with her cousins, but finds herself yearning to reunite with Mr. Rochester. She returns to find that Mr. Rochester has been bitten by the werewolf, and only she can release him from his curse.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Erwin raises the bar for the next generation of ‘monster classics’…. Enthusiastically recommended for all.” ( Library Journal)

A Lovely Surprise

When Pride and Prejudice and Zombies came out, I was excited. I was giddy with the thought that two of my beloved favorites would mesh, much like the pairing of peanut butter and chocolate, into a wonderful new creation. Insert face palm. Sherri Browning Erwin manages the feat: she seamlessly blends the paranormal into Bronte's classic tale in such a way that, if I didn't know better, I'd imagine that it had always been this way.

love love love

I couldn't stop listening. it was well written and the narriator did a wonderful job. will listen to again.

oddily enough

I love Jane! The book flowed easily like the author was channeling Charlotte Bronte when she wrote it. Although I know the original Jane well and have loved to read the it over and over again. I truely loved this adaption! The reader did and awesome job! Enjoy

Love the Book..But it puts me to sleep every time

Would you listen to Jane Slayre again? Why?

I really enjoyed the actual story in this book.. however. The narration puts me out like a light. Which is odd because other narration by Rosalyn Landor I have loved. Perhaps it is just the combination of the two. I will have to download the digital book to finish the story.

Droll

It had potential -- except it stole from too many other vampire, zombie, werewolf stories.
