Review: And we get another zombie story! The zombie story is one that is still riding pretty high, thanks to “The Walking Dead” and it’s continued (though perhaps wavering) popularity. Step inside a world a half-step from our own in this novel of geeks, zombies, politics and social media. And only the brave, the determined, or the very stupid, venture out into the wild. No street is safe and entire swaths of the country have been abandoned. Mira Grant creates a chilling portrait of an America paralyzed with fear. Where Did I Get This Book: Audiobook from the library!īook Description: FEEDBACK is a full-length Newsflesh novel which overlaps the events of New York Times bestseller Mira Grant’s classic Feed and follows a group of reporters covering the Democratic side of the Presidential campaign. Just before the third installment, Blackout (May 22, 2012), was published, McGuire released an alternate ending to Feed.Publishing Info: Orbit Books, October 2016
Deadline is the second book in the Newsflesh series. Feed came second in the 2011 Hugo Award for Best Novel category.
The novel has been praised for its detailed worldbuilding, including the characters' awareness of previous zombie fiction-an element McGuire had found lacking in most horror works. McGuire's interests in horror movies and virology inspired her to write the book, but she struggled with the plot until a friend suggested using an election as a framing device. A series of deadly incidents leads Georgia and her brother Shaun to discover efforts to undermine the campaign, linked to a larger conspiracy involving the undead. Set during the aftermath of a zombie apocalypse and written from the perspective of blog journalist Georgia Mason, Feed follows Georgia and her news team as they follow the presidential campaign of Republican senator Peter Ryman. Feed is the first book in the Newsflesh series of science fiction/horror novels written by Seanan McGuire under the pen name Mira Grant and published by Orbit Books in 2010.
