Book description
## Feed: The Audiobook That Feels Like Your Last Podcast
Let's be real: zombie stories are everywhere. But Mira Grant's Feed-the first in the Newsflesh series-doesn't just join the fray. It redefines it, and the audiobook version? It's pure, addictive gold.
Why does this audiobook crackle? Because it's built for the ear. Grant's protagonist, Georgia Mason, is a blogger-turned-investigative-journalist navigating a world where zombies (the "infected") are a fact of life, not a horror trope. The story's pulse is fast, smart, and relentlessly current-think viral news cycles meets actual zombie apocalypse. And the audiobook? It feels like you're listening to Georgia's live feed, raw and urgent.
Why this audiobook works better than reading:
Georgia's Voice is Everything: The narrator (a stellar choice) nails Georgia's sharp wit, exhaustion, and fierce loyalty. You hear the sarcasm in her voice when she calls her brother Shaun "the human equivalent of a slightly used car." It's intimate, like she's whispering secrets over coffee.
Pacing That Keeps You Hooked: The story moves at a breakneck pace. Audiobook delivery makes the tension physical. You'll find yourself leaning forward, skipping your commute, just to hear what happens next. The "FEED" command isn't just a plot point-it's a chilling auditory cue that hits differently when you hear it.
The Conspiracy Demands to Be Heard: The mystery behind the Rising isn't just solved; it's unraveled in real-time. The audiobook's structure-like a breaking news report-makes the conspiracy feel terrifyingly immediate. You don't just read the twist; you feel the shock in your bones.
Mira Grant's bio hints at her love for horror, but Feed is less about jump scares and more about the terrifying plausibility of it all. She's a horror fan who gets modern media. The audiobook leans into that perfectly. You're not just hearing a story; you're experiencing Georgia's world as it unfolds, with all the panic, humor, and urgency of a real-time blog.
The Verdict? If you love smart, fast-paced thrillers that feel relevant (and let's be honest, a zombie conspiracy feels eerily current), Feed's audiobook is a must-listen. It's not just a good zombie book-it's a masterclass in how to tell a story that demands* to be heard. The narration isn't just good; it's the key that unlocks the entire world. You'll be hitting "next chapter" before you know it, the sound of Georgia's voice pulling you deeper into the conspiracy. Trust me: your next commute just got infinitely more thrilling.

As a language learner, this app has been invaluable in improving my listening skills. CUE playlist support is a fantastic feature that allows me to curate themed listening sessions, creating a dynamic and engaging audiobook experience. The narrator was good but spoke a bit too slowly for my taste. I had to speed it up to 1.2x which then made some parts sound slightly unnatural.
