Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice...and Vampires?

First I heard and even posted here (last March) about a Pride and Prejudice and Zombies novel (not too mention, A Pride and Prejudice comic book?), now there are P&P related books about Jane Austen, Pride & Prejudice...and Vampires?

As Austen Prose blog stated:

The world has truly gone vampire crazy! Blame it on the Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series which made hearts and flowers all over a genre which had traditionally been more bloody and less appealing to tweenage girls, and *ahem* ladies. Her aloof and pensive vegetarian vampire Edward Cullen may make hearts swoon by the thousands, but Jane Austen’s Mr. Darcy has been doing the broody heartthrob thing long before Edward became an immortal, and he didn’t have to suck any blood to do it!
