Austen's books are still alive in various fan(tasy) fiction novels- consisting of variations and continuations of all six of her novels (Pride and Prejudice is one of the more popular ones).

Dawn of the Dreadfuls by Steve Hockensmith

The prequel to Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, Dawn of the Dreadfuls is a novel describing Elizabeth (and her sister)'s development into zombie-killing warriors. It also first introduces the reader to zombie mayhem in England.

As the title suggests, it is the "dawn" or the beginning of the zombie mayhem that ensues after corpses are not buried properly.

Dreadfully Ever After by Steve Hockensmith

The last of the P&P&Z franchise, Dreadfully Ever After describes marriage life after Elizabeth and Darcy get married. In a strange turn of events, Darcy gets bitten by a zombie. In her bid to save her husband, Elizabeth embarks on a quest to find a rare antidote that may save her husband from turning into a zombie.

Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters by Ben H Winters and Jane Austen

Another monster mash-up of Jane Austen's novels (Sense and Sensibility.

The storyline is identical to Sense and Sensibility, with the added exception of Sea Monsters who are terrorising Dashwood hall or any locations near the seas or lakes.

Mr. Dashwood's death is no less gruesome than its counterpart, as he is mauled to death by a sea monster.They are forced to move to Pestilent Isle, a little coastal island that is constantly terrorised by sea monsters. Despite this unpleasantness, Marianne is still romantically saved from plunging into a stream infested with these unpleasantries.

Northanger Abbey and Angels and Demons by Jane Austen and Vera Nazarian

Young and naive Catherine Morland is constantly surrounded by angels only she alone can see. Leaving her country home for the first time, to embark on a grand adventure that begins in fashionable Bath, our romantic heroine must not only decrypt the mystery of the Udolpho Code but win her true love Henry Tilney.

While I still have my personal reservations about this, Nazarian has replied me on Twitter and expressed that she would like me to give it a read still.

The rest (like Emma and the Vampires) do not deserve much comment that they do not warrant much critical literary attention.

However, the phenomenon with vampires has also been extended to Jane Austen and her literary peers (who were alive when she was dead).

Jane Bites Back by Michael Thomas Ford

Jane Austen is still alive in the twenty-first century because she was bitten by Lord Byron. She runs a small bookshop and longs to be published again. Although her six novels have been book-selling successes, her latest novel has been rejected by every publisher for two hundred years.

Ford's novels (There is a sequel, Jane Goes Batty) makes an interesting comment about the state of the publishing industry and its idiosyncracies. Also, it discusses the several "thousand" variations of Austen's works and its authenticity (and fidelity to the original text).

But more than that, we see Charlotte Bronte and Lord Byron running amok (and adapting) to the twenty-first century as vampires.

There is going to be a second sequel (last of the trilogy) in which Jane Austen has to confront a potential vampire-killer who is also her mother-in-law.

Jane and the Damned by Janet Mullany

The novel

has the same premise as Jane Bites Back. However, Jane's family know of her "Damned" condition. As a result, she travels to Bath to find a cure in the waters. However, she is caught up in the Napoleonic wars and is forced to use her powers to save England.

Unlike Jane Bites Back, literary figures like Byron or Bronte do not make an appearance.
