Jane Slayre:
The Literary Classic with a
Blood-Sucking Twist
By Sherri Browning Erwin and
Charlotte Bronte
Jane Slayre was orphaned by vampires
shortly after she was born, when her uncle came to retrieve her he was attacked
and turned into a vampire on the way home, though he was able to protect the
infant from the blood thirsty fiends. This is how Jane Slayre found herself
living in a home full of vampires, after her cousin attacks her leaving her
bitten and almost completely drained of blood she soon becomes determined to
rid the world of these abominable creatures.
This was a great re-telling of Jane
Eyre, full of vampires, werewolves, even zombies. So far this is one of my favorite “quirk
classics.” The author did a wonderful job bringing to life a new world and
blending in the characters from a classic setting producing an interesting and
captivating novel. In the original novel you truly hate some of the characters,
that is not as substantial in this novel but you have a more solid reason to
dislike these people, such as students being transformed into zombies. I would
definitely recommend giving this novel to someone who shows a lack of interest
in an original classic it is sure to make you want to compare it to the first
and in the process draw the reader into a classic world that knows no bounds.
