October is zombie time. Let's have some Mira reviews.

Blah blah review roundup blah blah links eat world blah blah I will run out of bullets before I run out of reviews. And so...

Ages and ages ago, John Joseph Adams interviewed me about my Newsflesh-universe short story, "Everglades," published in his anthology, The Living Dead 2. It's a fun interview, and he asked some really excellent questions. Check it out.

Pen and Ink, Camera and Keyboard has posted a review of Deadline, and says, "Deadline is a great book, it’s well written and genuinely enthralling." Works for me!

Jordan Wyn has posted a review of Feed, and says, "As with most successful dystopias, Feed takes the world we know and pushes it farther." I, and my love of Orwell, salute you.

The Guilded Earlobe has posted a review of the Deadline audiobook, and says, "Listeners will miss elements of the first novel, particularly the covering of the Ryman campaign, yet will enjoy getting to know some new characters, and finding out more about some old ones. Add to that a lot of great zombie action and a brilliant ending, and readers will be beating down Ms. Grant’s door demanding the finale of the trilogy." Woo!

Underground Reading has posted a review of Feed, and says, "Feed is a great zombie thriller—this already makes it a rarity, and it needs no additional layers of meaning to be a worthwhile read. Ms. Grant uses the setting of politics to create a background of tension and as a vehicle that keep the protagonists moving and motivated. She also uses blogging as a method of getting her protagonists not only involved in the action, but also actively pursuing it. Feed isn't secretly about politics or journalism, it is overtly about zombies. This is one case where we should celebrate a book at face value, without trying to stretch it into anything more." Hee!

And that's it for right now, even though it barely represents a dent in this cursed file. One day, it will eat me.

I'm watching Walking Dead and thinking off all the lessons from Feed & Deadline, so I keep yelling at the TV:

WRONG, WRONG, WRONG! You'll get yourselves killed!

If those links look like they're getting too close just sic the spiders on them!

Can you send me some Huntsmen?

If they didn't scare me witless (see my reply to your narrative kink post) I's seriously think about it.

I'm imagining somebody, sixty or seventy years from now, opening your will and finding out that they have to finish publishing your list of links.

I think that's a better scenario than, "Seanan's web browser has so many links open that it becomes sentient, and begins publishing them on its own." Or at least a more probable one.

I like both of these options.

I read Feed and Deadline in 2 days. I felt strangely exposed in front of my nice big windows today, and felt very odd about handling a syringe while giving the goat her shot today. Thanks for making Halloween and the empty night outside my rural home ever so scary!
