Publisher's summary

Collected here for the first time is every piece of short fiction from New York Times best seller Mira Grant's acclaimed Newsflesh series, with two new never-before published novellas and all eight short works available for the first time.

We had cured cancer. We had beaten the common cold. But in doing so we created something new, something terrible that no one could stop. The infection spread, a man-made virus taking over bodies and minds, filling them with one, unstoppable command...feed.

Mira Grant creates a chilling portrait of an America paralyzed with fear. No one leaves their houses and entire swaths of the country have been abandoned. And only the brave, the determined, or the very stupid, venture out into the wild.

Featured Article: Mmmm, Brains...Satisfy Your Cravings with the 20 Best Zombie Audiobooks Ever


Zombies have been a potent cultural force for decades. Something about the concept of a ragtag crew of survivors facing off against endless masses of shuffling brain-munchers really seems to speak to people! There are hundreds, if not thousands, of zombie-themed stories out there. But which ones are the very best? And which zombie audiobooks will have you double-checking the locks and sleeping with a baseball bat next to your bed?

Damn this is good!!!!

I would tell everyone to read this first, before the trilogy, but you'd HATE me for the spoilers. These stories make the entire series deeper and richer.... especially Foxy, who has the best backstory for a character I've ever heard! Brava Mira Grant!

Another great story

I really enjoyed hearing the stories that tied the series together. Different perspectives and back stories were great. I love this universe. I hope it never ends.

Brilliant!

I hate shirt stories. I hate "world fiction". But I love Zombies enough that I took a chance on this collection. And o boy am I glad I did!!!! This is simply put an absolute brilliant story told in the most wonderous way. I am in awe and a little bit in love.

Absolutely perfect novellas.

This was EXACTLY the stories I was looking for after reading the Newsflesh series. The perfect amount of additional character stories, that while I do want more, didn't leave me hanging in limbo.

Great stories to flesh out Newsflesh

I've read a lot of these stories but listening to them was very entertaining and the 2 bonus stories were great. one of the narrator choices in how green this land how blue the sea, struck me as a little bit off. that's because I know the character it's supposed to be a British subject of Indian descent and the voice actor didn't do it justice. which is odd because other stories in the same collection had a different narrator who did do justice to the same character. however it was a minor irritation and not one worth worrying overmuch about.

All the Newsflesh goodness you could ever want

I loved Feed. I loved the sequels. I loved the shorts and novellas, but there were a lot and it was hard to keep track of them all (not complaining, this is a good problem to have). This collects then all in one nice package for all your zombie apocalypse needs!

The vocal performances were amazing and I really see the characters as I listened. (Especially Mahir and Foxy.) This is a very well produced audiobook.

I won't go into reviewing all the stories since they are available elsewhere, but I will say a word about the new material. They were excellent, and we _did_ ask for it.

Great compilation of short stories

I really enjoyed listening to this collection of short stories. If you have read the Newsflesh series, this fills in the blanks and adds more detail to an already great read. It took me a few days to hear the whole thing. It's 24 hours long but it made for a great drive when I went on a long trip.

I'm Happy and sad that I finished the whole series. Sad it's done happy that I enjoyed the book series and I loved the atmosphere. Can't wait to read more from Mira G. and the other many stories she has. <3
