Description
Feed is an electrifying and critically acclaimed novel of a world a half-step from our own that the New York Times calls “Astonishing” — a novel of zombies, geeks, politics, social media, and the virus that runs through them all — from New York Times bestseller Mira Grant. The year was 2014. We had cured cancer. We had beat the common cold. But in doing so we created something new, something terrible that no one could stop. The infection spread, virus blocks taking over bodies and minds with one, unstoppable command: FEED. Now, twenty years after the Rising, Georgia and Shaun Mason are on the trail of the biggest story of their lives—the dark conspiracy behind the infected. The truth will out, even if it kills them. More from Mira Grant: NewsfleshFeedDeadlineBlackoutFeedback Rise Praise for Feed:"I can't wait for the next book."?N.K. Jemisin "It's a novel with as much brains as heart, and both are filling and delicious."?The A. V. Club "Gripping, thrilling, and brutal... 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) “Feed is a proper thriller with zombies.” —SFX

Despite the zombies, the Newsflesh trilogy is all about a group of outsiders fighting "the man" and exposing government conspiracies to the rest of the world, just like the more realistic world of the Camel Club Novels -- Becky Spratford
A zombie outbreak, nefarious secret organizations, and intrepid warriors and reporters figure prominently in these post-apocalyptic horror novels. Violent, fast-paced, and downright terrifying. You may never feel safe again. -- Mike Nilsson
While the Newsflesh series has a stronger element of science fiction, and Warm Bodies includes a romantic relationship, both character-centered horror series depict post-apocalyptic worlds where the lead characters combat zombies that were created by science gone wrong. -- Katherine Johnson

Domino Falls - Barnes, Steven
The zombie apocalypse has happened, and these bleak and compelling novels tell the tale of a group of "normals" who discover traces of a giant conspiracy. What actually caused the tragedy that changed their world forever? -- Melissa Gray
While taking different paths (Feed is science fiction/political thriller while All the Gifts speculates on humanity's nature and future), both fast-paced and absorbing post-apocalyptic novels turn typical zombie tropes on their heads and take readers far beyond adrenaline and gore. -- Melissa Gray

Readers who enjoy an intricately plotted adrenaline rush that's suspenseful and violent should try these authors. Although Mira Grant is known for her biomedical thrillers (including zombies) and David Morrell writes a lot of spy thrillers as well as science fiction, both author's works are compelling and high-octane. -- Melissa Gray
Biological disasters and conspiracies fascinate both of these horror authors.

Publisher's Weekly Review
Urban fantasist Seanan McGuire (Rosemary and Rue) picks up a new pen name for this gripping, thrilling, and brutal depiction of a postapocalyptic 2039. Twin bloggers Georgia and Shaun Mason and their colleague Buffy are thrilled when Sen. Peter Ryman, the first presidential candidate to come of age since social media saved the world from a virus that reanimates the dead, invites them to cover his campaign. Then an event is attacked by zombies, and Ryman's daughter is killed. As the bloggers wield the newfound power of new media, they tangle with the CDC, a scheming vice presidential candidate, and mysterious conspirators who want more than the Oval Office. 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.
