Bad Austen: The Worst Stories Jane Never Wrote

Imagine Mansfield Park set on the Jersey Shore. Or Mr. Darcy heading up the Starship Enterprise. Or Emma Woodhouse traveling through time to indulge her matchmaking.

If you think that sounds like bad Austen, you couldn't be more right. It is a truth

universally acknowledged that an author as popular as Jane Austen should be

imitated, expanded upon, and parodied. Now, in the tradition of the Bad Hemingway

and Bad Faulkner contests, comes a new collection of hilarious efforts to write the

worst excerpt from the novel Jane Austen never wrote.

Bad Austen: Because the only thing better than good Austen is bad Austen!
