Zweihundert Jahre nach ihrem Tod ist Jane Austen noch immer von ihren Büchern umgeben - sie besitzt jetzt einen Buchladen. Denn kurz nachdem sie ihr letztes Werk vollendet hatte (das inzwischen hundertundsechzehn mal von Verlegern abgelehnt wurde!) verwandelte sie sich in einen Vampir. So gerne sie die Welt wissen lassen möcht, wer sie ist - als sie unversehens ins Rampenlicht gerät, muss sie ihre wahre Identität verbergen. Herrliches Lesevergnügen!
"A hilarious send-up of vampire novels, the Austen industry, and one immortal author's complete inability to find a publisher Jane would have loved it!" Stephanie Barron, author of the Jane Austen mysteries
"It's impossible not to love Ford's sharp-witted, sharp-fanged Jane Austen (and I'm not just saying that because she spares my life in Chapter Six)." Seth Grahame-Smith, author of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies
Fang-tastic Ford s Jane is a very fun and funny heroine to root for as she endures the indignities of publishing and bookselling, fends off danger and (perhaps) finds love. Her hilarious smack downs with Violet hint of more madness to come in this first of a series. Publishers Weekly
Ford approvingly cites Seth Grahame-Smith s Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, but his own mashup is better integrated, more knowledgeable about Austen and considerably funnier. Kirkus Reviews
In this clever paranormal tale Ford has created warm, witty characters that will appeal to both Janeites and vampire fanciers. Literary humor and intriguing snippets from Jane's book are the icing on the cake. Two more books are promised in this series, so readers who fall under Jane's spell will be eagerly awaiting her next adventure. Library Journal
Michael Thomas Ford has struck gold .The plot is inventive and funny, and the story progresses with the kind of light touch that compares favorably to the Stephanie Meyer Twilight series. Ford manages to strike just the right tone and consistently delights. Bay Area Reporter
Few authors can deliver [Austen s] dry, deft and wickedly funny style. Michael Thomas Ford is one of them .Light, campy and a bit Buffyish .The literary and historical references really shine. Austenprose
"Ford gives us an authentic, sympathetic and witty Jane Austen as a modern-day vampire .An inventive mashup plot coupled with creative storytelling and amusing dialogue make this story a delightful read." Romantic Times
Hilarious .I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and know you will too! Vampire Librarian
Such a fun read. I especially love to imagine Austen duking it out with fellow literary blood-suckers, both literal and figurative. Book Bitch
I must admit I started this story prepared to dislike it (too many Jane related novels), and then found I was enjoying it! It has a little bit of something for everyone. You will enjoy it, too. Romance Reviews Today
A rollicking good read. Dirty Laundry
A confection of a novel. The Advocate
In the past year, I have read quite a few Jane Austen spin-offs, but none quite as original as Jane Bites Back by Michael Thomas Ford .Incredibly readable, extremely funny, and highly entertaining. Booking Mama
FIVE STARS! Huntress Reviews
