Rise

The Complete Newsflesh Collection

De: Mira Grant

Narrado por: John Glouchevitch, Nicholas Guy Smith

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

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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"A rich expansion on a beloved universe."—New York Times on Rise

"While there's plenty of zombie mayhem, political snark, and pointedly funny observations here, the heart of this book is about human relationships, which are still the most important thing in the world...even in a world where you might have to shoot the person you love most in the head, just to stop them from biting off your face."—Locus on Feed

"Feed is a proper thriller with zombies. Grant doesn't get carried away with describing her world or the virus. She's clearly thought both out brilliantly, but she doesn't let it get in the way of a taut, well-written story."—SFX on Feed

"Gripping, thrilling, and brutal... 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."—Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) on Feed

"It's a novel with as much brains as heart, and both are filling and delicious."—The A. V. Club on Feed

"OK, all of you readers who want something weighty and yet light, campy and yet smart, horror with heart, a summer beach read that will stay in your head and whisper to you "what if," Deadline is just what you are looking for."—RT Book Reviews on Deadline

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!

Rise up while you still can!

Any additional comments?

Countdown - I read this before I got this and I really enjoyed the audiobook version :)

"Everglades" - I never had read this before and I thought it was strange but I liked it.

San Diego 2014: The Last Stand of the California Browncoats - I read this a few times as an ebook and it was great having it read to me. I'm spoiled and wish I could have all of her work read to me now.

How Green This Land, How Blue This Sea - I had never gotten around to reading this even though I own the ebook. I really enjoyed this venture into the Newsflesh universe with at least one familiar character.

The Day the Dead Came to Show and Tell & Please Do Not Taunt the Octopus -- These two are being lumped together because of the blurbs by the author before these two stories. They really are companion pieces and I loved learning more about the characters in question. I have both of these as ebooks but I had never read Please Do Not Taunt the Octopus and I had thought the Day the Dead came to Show and Tell was really good but now? Listening to it? It was so much more.

All the Pretty Little Horses & Coming to You Live - These two new stories I could have ever asked for! Thank you for these Mira Grant because as a fan I needed these :))

Awesome addition to the Feed mythology

I am a huge fan of the Feed series but was skeptical with this new entry. Silly me why would i ever doubt Mira!!! An great story with return of a few old friends and enemies to boot. I hope that it continues!!

A wonderful addition to the Feed universe

I'm used to a certain level of heart-wrenching fiction from Mira Grant and the new stories didn't disappoint. All The Pretty Little Horses was a view of Stacy and Michael Mason I never expected, and and so it was all the more devastating. Coming to You Live was like a comfortable coat --anything with more Shawn and George will be gratefully, greedily accepted. In re-reading old stories I found new bits of information I'd missed, and new horrors to shiver at.

Fantastic

What made the experience of listening to Rise the most enjoyable?

It brought me back to the world of the Newflesh series.

What did you like best about this story?

That I was able to learn about other characters in the series and experience the situation from other points of view.

Which character – as performed by the narrators – was your favorite?

I was have to say Doctor Abbey.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Rise.
