Little Shop of Horrors was my favorite musical for years (and has only recently been displaced by Evil Dead: The Musical). Some of my earliest memories involve watching The Blob and Alien in my family’s living room. What if the zombie apocalypse happened…and we survived? Grant reveals all!įeed is a book built around a single, simple idea that took two years to come together, largely because it was a lot more complicated than it looked. So how does it work? And how do you truly show a United States in which living and undead share the same country? Ms. And Grant (the pen name for current Campbell Award nominee Seanan McGuire) does a pretty good job with it, according to a starred review in Publishers Weekly: “Shunning misogynistic horror tropes in favor of genuine drama and pure creepiness, McGuire has crafted a masterpiece of suspense with engaging, appealing characters.” Well, then. But what comes after the end of the world, when the world actually is still there? One answer: Feed, which takes a couple decades beyond the zombie apocalypse to a world which has, in its way, adjusted to the undead. Oh Noes! It’s the Zombie Apocalypse™! It’s the end of the world! Yes, yes, Mira Grant said, zombies, end of the world, blah blah blah.
