title: Feed (Newsflesh, Book 1)
author:  Mira Grant 
description: Starred Review. Urban fantasist Seanan McGuire (<i>Rosemary and Rue</i>) 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. <i>(May)</i> <br />Copyright  Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

  _What if the ending of FEED had been… different?_
  
  
  
  
  
  This is another way the end of _Feed_ could have gone: it picks up with the
  events of what would originally have been chapter twenty-five. It is not what
  happened.
  
  
  But it could have.
  
  
  We came very close.
  
  
  
  
  
  Rise up while you can.

  our way—stupid, blind history, that judges everything and never gives a shit
  what we paid to get it—it better remember that no one had a
