Feed (Book One of The Newsflesh Trilogy) by Mira Grant.

The good news: We survived. The bad news: So did they.

Feed tells the story of the aftermath of the zombie apocalypse; the restless dead are the product of the ultimate bad drug interaction: a cure for cancer and a remedy for the common cold that combine to create mindless, flesh-starved monstrosities.

Millions died in the chaos that followed. The summer of 2014 was dubbed “The Rising,” and only the lessons learned from a thousand zombie movies allowed mankind to survive. Even then, the world was changed forever. The mainstream media fell, Internet news acquired an undeniable new legitimacy, and the CDC rose to a new level of power.

Ten years after The Rising, Georgia and Shaun Mason are two up-and-coming bloggers selected to accompany Senator Peter Ryman on his way to becoming the Republican nominee for President of the United States. The road is rife with political intrigue, polling results, blood tests, ratings fights, murder and zombies…always zombies.

When not writing horror novels, Mira Grant is known as Seanan McGuire, winner of the 2010 John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer. McGuire is the author of the October Daye urban fantasy series: Rosemary and Rue (2009); A Local Habitation (2010); An Artificial Night (2010); and Late Eclipses and The Brightest Fell, both to be published in 2011.
