Who else is amazed by the proliferation of Jane Austen spin-offs these days?! I’m trying to compile a definitive list of novels inspired directly by the great lady…including those with vampires and zombies. Ha.  Here’s what I’ve got so far:

  • Adriani, Susan. Affinity and Affection.
  • Aidan, Pamela. An Assembly Such as This: A Novel of Fitzwilliam Darcy, Gentleman.
  • Aiken, Joan. Jane Fairfax: The Secret Story of the Second Heroine.
  • Altman, Marsha. The Plight of the Darcy Brothers: A Tale of the Darceys and Bingleys.
  • —. The Darcys and the Bingleys:  A Tale of Two Gentlemen’s Marriages to  Two Most Devoted Sisters.
  • Brown, Laurie. What Would Jane Austen Do?
  • Collins, Rebecca Ann. The Pemberley Chronicles: A Companion Volume to Jane
  • Austen’s Pride and Prejudice: Book 1
  • —. Mr. Darcy’s Daughter: The Pemberley Chronicles.
  • —. The Ladies of Longbourn.
  • —. The Women of Pemberly.
  • Fowler, Karen Joy. The Jane Austen Book Club.
  • Grahame-Smith, Seth. Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.
  • Grange, Amanda. Mr. Darcy, Vampyre.
  • —. Colonel Brandon’s Diary.
  • Greensmith, Jane. Intimations of Austen.
  • Patillo, Beth. Jane Austen Ruined My Life.
  • Rigler, Laurie Viera. Rude Awakenings of a Jane Austen Addict.
  • —. Confessions of a Jane Austen Addict.
  • Spence, Jon. Becoming Jane Austen.
  • Webster, Emma Campbell. Lost in Austen: Create Your own Jane Austen Adventure.
  • Wells, Linda. Fate and Consequences: A Tale of Pride and Prejudice.
  • Winters, Ben H. Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters.

What have I missed? Have any of you read any of these and want to recommend whether we read it or not? I would like to discuss these works in more detail, but I’m busy writing Northanger Abbey and Gnomes.
