![]() ![]() It may be infection-based, but at least it’s not COVID. The series is followed up with two subsequent novels: Deadline and Blackout, both of which are stacked high on my TBR pile. Feed has been on my list for a while, and is one of the many critically acclaimed works by Mira Grant (also writing under Seanan McGuire where she is well known for her successful Wayward Children novellas). Despite the length, it doesn’t drag, and even the slower parts of the narrative are so carefully exploring the way the post-Rising United States operates, they keep you turning the pages well into the next chapter. The mass market paperback edition comes in at 571 pages. The CDC is fully funded money flows into political campaigns from special interest sources, and a fictional history since the rising is fully and expertly developed on the page. As the story progresses, it becomes evident that not everyone is keen on bloggers (or journalists in general) and that includes parties additional to the flesh-hungry infected rummaging through suburbs and cities looking for food. ![]() Mira Grant’s narrative is fun, intense, and filled with great dialogue, amazing characterization, and a fantastic balance of expose, development (both plot and character), and action. ![]()
