SpiritualSuccessor to ''Literature/PrideAndPrejudiceAndZombies'', which takes the text of [[Literature/SenseAndSensibility Jane Austen's original novel]] and filters it heavily through the CosmicHorror worldview of Creator/HPLovecraft.

The Dashwood sisters, Elinor and Marianne, live with their widowed mother and younger sister Margaret in Devonshire following the death of their father, who was mauled by a hammerhead shark. The seas have become dangerous ever since the mysterious and horrifying Alteration that has caused all the creatures of the ocean to become vicious and violently opposed to humans, and the sisters have had to train to defend themselves against attacks from the waters all their lives. Elinor has an on-again, off-again flirtation with the seemingly oblivious scholar Edward Ferrars, who is seeking to figure out what caused the Alteration to begin with, when the family is forced to move to a chain of islands owned by Sir John Middleton instead. There Marianne falls hard for the dashing explorer Willoughby, while simultaneously attracting the unwanted attentions of the older and [[BeastAndBeauty dreadfully disfigured Colonel Brandon]].

Winters that serves as a SpiritualSuccessor for Seth Grahame-Smith's ''Literature/PrideAndPrejudiceAndZombies'', released around five months earlier. As that novel gave the [[LiteraryMashUps mashup]] treatment to ''Literature/PrideAndPrejudice'', this takes the text
of [[Literature/SenseAndSensibility Jane Austen's original novel]] Creator/JaneAusten's ''Literature/SenseAndSensibility'' and filters it heavily through the CosmicHorror worldview of Creator/HPLovecraft.
