Do you like steampunk? Robots? 19th century Russian literature? Then do I have something for you...

Our good friends at Quirk Classics have gifted us with another monster mash-up masterpiece--this time brought to us by a collaboration with Ben H. Winters (Sense & Sensibility & Sea Monsters with Jane Austen) and the immortal Leo Tolstoy: Android Karenina.

If you are familiar with Tolstoy's classic Anna Karenina, you'll be familiar with some of the characters: Anna Karenina; Count Alexia Vronsky; Nikolai Levin; Kitty Shcherbatskaya. But do you remember the robot butlers?

As with their earlier revamped classics including Pride & Prejudice & Zombies, Android Karenina blends a much-loved classic with some much-loved genre-fiction--in this case some excellent science-fiction. It will be greatly appreciated by adults looking to introduce what may be some intimidating classic literature as well as by reluctant readers.

At 538 pages, it's not a light read or for the faint of heart, but Android Karenina is certainly worth the commitment.

And a contest!
