Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

The book's first chapter was made available for free download on March 13, and the second is set to follow on March 19.

The digital version of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Dawn of the Dreadfuls will be available for purchase and download in its entirety on March 23, 2010, the same day the title is set to appear in print form.
Quirk Books' first title, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies by Seth Grahame-Smith, made US and UK bestseller lists, has been translated into 21 languages, and is now being made into a feature film. Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Dawn of the Dreadfuls, by Steve Hockensmith, is a prequel to that title and a continuation of Quirk Books' Quirk Classics series, which combines "popular fanboy characters like ninjas, pirates, zombies and monkeys" with classic public domain book titles.
While offering free chapters of a forthcoming title is not an entirely new publishing trend, Quirk Books may be the first to offer a free portion of a book in electronic, serialized form.
