Jane Slayre by Sherri Browning Erwin, Charlotte Brontë
5.0
I've long been a fan of monster mash-ups; you get all the fun of rereading the classic, plus the fun of the supernatural twist. This is an especially good one. I love that it includes the whole Jane Eyre story - unlike the erotica mash-up [b:Jane Eyre Laid Bare: The Classic Novel with an Erotic Twist|15794594|Jane Eyre Laid Bare The Classic Novel with an Erotic Twist|Eve Sinclair|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1346068821s/15794594.jpg|21495890], which disappointingly excludes the St. John Rivers story. In Browning Erwin's telling, St. John is the Daryl Dixon of the tale, slaying vampires and werewolves with a crossbow of his own invention. Zombies have also come into play, but their fiercest slayer is Jane herself. Saving people and hunting things is the Slayre family business.
This book does include the line "Reader, I buried him," causing me to laugh out loud - but fear not, the happy ending is still intact. In short, this is the monster mash-up done right.
