Pride and Predator: Jane Austen to battle killer aliens
The film, reports Variety, "veers from the traditional period costume drama when an alien crash lands and begins to butcher the mannered (protagonists), who suddenly have more than marriage and inheritance to worry about."

"It felt like a fresh and funny way to blow apart the done-to-death Jane Austen genre by literally dropping this alien into the middle of a costume drama, where he stalks and slashes to horrific effect," Furnish said.

OK, it's a movie and not a book, but I'm sure there will be a novelization if the movie is greenlighted. :D
