And then I read a book about zombies... and LOVED it!

In the summer of 2014, I virus wiped out thirty two percent of the worlds population was wiped out by a dangerous infection. Cures for cancer and the common cold joined forces, resulting in the mother of all side effects, reanimating the dead. Decades after the zombie apocalypse, life in the United States goes on, but things have changed. There's much more fear of being eaten, for one...

I know zombies are really trendy, but I've never been that interested. I've seen Shaun of the Dead (funny) and read Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (meh), but that's about it. But after three recs for Feed I realized I had to give it a try. Then I realized that Mira Grant is also Seanan McGuire, the author of the October Daye series, a.k.a. the author who actually made me like a book about fairies. (I know, I know, no zombies, no fairies, what kind of fantasy/scifi stories do you like? Well, I am partial to women with swords.) Luckily, even writing under a different name, she didn't disappoint. Feed really blew me away.
