Comment to win an ARC of FEED.

And now the time has come. The time to give away an ARC of Feed via that time-honored tradition, the random draw. So...

1) Comment here.
2) Tell me your favorite thing about zombies, if you like.
3) Or you can tell me you're excited about the book. Whatever.
4) That's all.

I will draw a winner Monday morning (April 12th); entries will be accepted until then. This contest is open to all countries, because postage is spendy, but zombies are love. One entry per person, please.

Game on!

Zombies are the ideal bad guy for a 'man-against-the-universe' story that explores the spectrum of human responses and emotions when dealing with an unstoppable threat to the protagonist (and humanity).

There are no moral issues with killing zombies.
There isn't an Anti-Zombie Defamation League to ensure the feelings of zombies aren't hurt.
There are no animal rights issues with killing zombies, so PETA won't be bothering us about it.
There are no sexual undertones with zombies, unlike vampires.
There are no troubling social or political issues with going to war with zombies, unlike invading Middle Eastern countries.
There are no 'they have better technology than us' issues with zombies, unlike many invading alien stories.
The unrelenting attacks of zombies are not dependent on James Cameron or McG (yet).
There are no loyalty issues with fighting zombies, unlike a civil war. Either you are a live human or a dead zombie, not a lot of middle ground.
Surviving a zombie apocalypse is all about luck, skill, and will. It has little to do with social standing or wealth.

Finally, it's fun to read about. So hurry up with the book release.

Except in the Discworld.

The dead have rights too!
