The Newsflesh stories were how I got into your work. A friend who knew my reading tastes pretty well was utterly insistent I read FEED, even thought, "Yes, Noel, I know you hate zombie stories and aren't a big fan of horror, but just READ THE DAMN BOOK." She was right.

Thank you

I'd read just about anything you wrote, so it isn't saying much when I say that I, like many others, got excited that you had this weird dream.

A good government agency is nearly invisible. You have safe food, clean water, stable power etc and you never have to think about it. The best societies have boring bureaucracy notices in the paper and not much else.
