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!

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.

Great!!!!!

Couldn't put it down! was worried wouldn't be as good as the first 3. no fear, great job with incorporating these short stories!!!!
