Like her mother, young Sarah Carrier was begin with, why would you even pick up any bright and willful, openly challenging of these books? Enter Mira Grant. the small, brutal world in which they Like Max Brooks before her, Grant’s zombie books, live. Often at odds with one another, Feed and its recent sequel Deadline, work mother and daughter were forced to because they’re realistic. Grant goes a step stand together against the escalating further and writes, not a book about zombies, but hysteria of the trials and the a superstitious tyranny that led to the book set in a world that has zombies in it, and torture and imprisonment of more than has had zombies in it for decades. Georgia 200 people accused of witchcraft. This Mason, the narrator of the first book, and her brother Shaun, the narrator of the is the story of Martha's courageous sequel, are news bloggers who have never known a world without the virus that defiance and ultimate death, as told mutates the bodies of the dead into terrifying monsters. They’ve never known a by the daughter who survived. life without constant blood tests and security measures that make going to the airport post-9/11 look like a cakewalk.

Horror fans will appreciate the consistency and tension in Grant’s world, and fans of political thrillers will appreciate the conspiracies that the Mason siblings uncover. For everyone else, there’s the fantastic characterization of Georgia, Shaun, and all of their friends, co-workers, and enemies. Finally, a zombie series for everyone—even people who don’t like zombies. The final book of the trilogy, Blackout, is on my must-read list for 2012.
