The Newsflesh series, published under the Mira Grant pen name, earned Seanan McGuire a Hugo nomination with Feed (2010). Set 25 years after the zombie Rising, the world has adapted — zombie outbreaks are contained but constant, and bloggers have replaced traditional media as trusted news sources. Georgia and Shaun Mason are blogging siblings covering a presidential campaign when they uncover a conspiracy that threatens everything.
Deadline and Blackout completed the original trilogy, while Feedback (2016) retold the events from a different group of bloggers’ perspective. The series is less about zombie horror than about how societies respond to existential threats — specifically, how fear of infection reshapes politics, media, and personal freedom.
