Shaun Mason is a man without a mission. Not even running the news organization he built with his sister has the same urgency as it used to. Playing with dead things just doesn't seem as fun when you've lost as much as he has.

But when a CDC researcher fakes her own death and appears on his doorstep with a ravenous pack of zombies in tow, Shaun has a newfound interest in life. Because she brings news-he may have put down the monster who attacked them, but the conspiracy is far from dead.

Now, Shaun hits the road to find what truth can be found at the end of a shotgun.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Starred Review. Grant (pseudonymous urban fantasy author Seanan McGuire) continues her postapocalyptic zombie series with this adrenaline-packed, quick-witted tale of medicine and mayhem. It's 2041, a year after Shaun Mason's sister and co-blogger, Georgia, became infected with the zombie virus (in 2010's Feed). After nearly three decades of rampant zombiism, procedures and protocols have evolved to keep humans safe, constrained, and scared. As Shaun struggles to cope with Georgia's death, a doctor from the Centers for Disease Control sets the After the End Times blogging crew to investigating a conspiracy around people with a reservoir condition—a state in which the virus goes live in just one area of the body—and the high death rate among reputable scientists trying to study them. Deft cultural touches, intriguing science, and amped-up action will delight Grant's numerous fans. (June)

Review

"Astonishing ... a fascinating exploration of the future."―New York Times

"While there's plenty of zombie mayhem, political snark, and pointedly funny observations here, the heart of this book is about human relationships, which are still the most important thing in the world...even in a world where you might have to shoot the person you love most in the head, just to stop them from biting off your face."―Locus on Feed

"Feed is a proper thriller with zombies. Grant doesn't get carried away with describing her world or the virus. She's clearly thought both out brilliantly, but she doesn't let it get in the way of a taut, well-written story."―SFX on Feed

"The story starts with a bang as corruption, mystery, danger and excitement abound."―RT Book Reviews (4.5 stars) on Feed

"Gripping, thrilling, and brutal... Shunning misogynistic horror tropes in favor of genuine drama and pure creepiness, McGuire has crafted a masterpiece of suspense with engaging, appealing characters who conduct a soul-shredding examination of what's true and what's reported."―Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) on Feed

"Intelligent and intense, a thinking-person's post-apocalyptic zombie thriller set in a fully-realized future that is both fascinating and horrifying to behold."―John Joseph Adams on Feed

"I can't wait for the next book."―N.K. Jemisin on Feed

"It's a novel with as much brains as heart, and both are filling and delicious."―The A. V. Club on Feed

"OK, all of you readers who want something weighty and yet light, campy and yet smart, horror with heart, a summer beach read that will stay in your head and whisper to you "what if," Deadline is just what you are looking for."―RT Book Reviews on Deadline

"Deft cultural touches, intriguing science, and amped-up action will delight Grant's numerous fans."―Publishers Weekly (starred review) on Deadline

"Intelligent and exciting...raises the bar for the genre."―Telegraph on Deadline

"Wry and entertaining."―NPR Books on Blackout

the concept of safe areas where no one is truly safe

Professional Reader
Feed (Newsflesh #1) by Mira Grant Kindle & Audio
3/29/2016 0 Comments

Sherry and I participated in Goodreads 2016 TBR Twins Challenge. We chose to read Feed (Newsflesh Book 1) by Mira Grant. It was a very good choice.

When Sherry was about one third of the way through the book, she shared with me, “it's an interesting concept of how the whole thing came to be and about blogging. I kind of like the blogging aspect as now in 2016 you don't see much bloggers. It is like they say, mostly teenagers blogging about their depress/antsy life. I used to do that all during high school.

I thought the blogging aspect was cool. It is a more rounded view of what is happening. Not just one person or one organization. What I really like is that it is a zombie apocalypse where civilization has not totally fallen. There is still a government. Still communication. Still the trappings of a normality. Yet there is this constant threat. If you replace "zombie" with "terrorist", it lends itself to a very good conversation. I grew up during the cold war. While we lived everyday normal lives, there was a threat constantly hanging over our heads but not visible. This book reminds me of that type of threat that is there but not there. I

When Sherry finished the book, her summary was, “I LOVE IT!!!!! I can't wait for book #2. I don't want to spoil it for you but sad ending. I also think it's awesome that society did not fall. In movies you always see humanity fallen, people just savage and live off the grid. I like that it is still organized and civilized.

Once I finished I decided I would give it 5 out of 5 stars. Again the main selling point for me was the uniqueness of a not completely fallen civilization. The ending was sad but left room for so much more to happen. I liked seeing Shawn grow from idiot brother to a fully realized character.

As you can tell both Sherry and I were captivated by a semi-apocalypse. Most post apocalypse books I have encountered are somewhat of a scorched earth, nothing left, no civilization, no infrastructure, no communications. It was so refreshing to read a book that still has government and lights and communication. It sets a totally different feel for the book. As I referenced above, the concept of safe areas where no one is truly safe is probably the most horribly aspect of the book. Sherry and I would both highly recommend it.

I also picked up the Audible version of Feed and found it to be wonderful. The narrators, Paula Christensen and Jesse Bernstein did a fantastic job. The production values were perfect. 5 of 5 stars.

This series just gets better and better!

BySarah @ A Weebish Book Blogon August 19, 2015

Deadline, the second novel in the Newsflesh trilogy, is a novel that it took me forever to work up the courage to read after Feed left me sobbing uncontrollably and in a book hangover the likes of which no book hoarder should ever have to experience. I figured Feed was so amazing, that any sequels could never live up to, but I was wrong. I loved Deadline and will never underestimate Grant’s ability to write awesome zombie thrillers.

After the mess of Senator Rymen’s presidential campaign, Shaun Mason is no longer the happy-go-lucky Irwin who lives for poking zombies with sticks. He’s quickly losing his grip on reality until a CDC scientist shows up with information that proves the conspiracy that changed Shaun’s life last year is far from over. He and his team is quickly entangled in a CDC conspiracy the likes of which the bloggers – and the post-Rising world – might not survive.

Deadline was a fast-paced, high stakes political thriller with a ton more ass zombie kicking than the first novel (Yay zombie as kicking!). It was a bit longer than the first novel, but Mira Grant mixes lengthy world building with unpredictable plot twists and the ability to make a 15 hour-long audiobook fly by until I find myself scratching my head and wondering where the hell the time went. Deadline was the perfect sequel to Feed and a bittersweet reminder that things can always get worse, especially when a sadistic author is at the helm. 😀

The narration was as exceptional as always, even though I was skeptical if I would enjoy it as much, seeing as Paula Christenson was no longer narrating. Chris Patton was an exceptional choice for the cast of Deadline and I can’t wait to listen to more from him!

If you are a fan of zombies, political thrillers, and unique science fiction experiences, you need to read the Newsflesh Trilogy! It is not a stand-alone series, however, so be sure to start with Feed first!

Not my thing . . .

Bynope, not meon August 5, 2016

Is this a YA book? Did I miss that somewhere. It reads very YA. Too cool for school and not even 25 yet. With a techno enhanced Mystery Mobile, and a motorcycle too! All of that is annoying, the worst thing about this book is its boring. They are superstar bloggers in a zombie inhabited world and they are boring. Obviously I am in the minority here, but not impressed by anything in this book.

Read this book.

ByCricketton April 6, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Yeah, it's a zombie book. It came out near the beginning of the newest zombie zeitgeist, and it would be easy to dismiss it as just another zombie book. But it's not. Ms. Grant does her virology homework and it shows. There's an almost loving attention to detail here with regard to the science end of things rather than just a glossy coat of "you get bitten, you're turned" or the complete disregard for the virus entirely that's seen in other books.

Grant is also clearly passionate about news gathering and has given us a peek into a very plausible future structure of blogging, especially as it pertains to hard news, citizen journalism, and politics, all of which remain timely.

Read this book. When you're done, read the next two that follow. This series is excellent.
