This never reads like a quick rough job at creating a gift book. The touches of Romero have been layered on subtly and with craft, and whatever your opinion of the original, I think you have to consider that this volume reads perfectly sensibly as a mixture of high society and lowly undead. It's all down to the matter-of-fact horror voice added to the social satire. Those who have an intimate knowledge of the Austen may much more easily point out how things - and how few things - have been changed, and I suspect to them this will seem like the result of a simple literary parlour game, but for me and many others this just reads like a surprisingly comfortable blend of two incredibly diverse styles of writing.

It's clear there's only one way to go from here. Sense and Sensibility and Sea-Monsters.
