Recommendation: Feed (Newsflesh, Book 1)

I'm so suggestible.  Read one book about zombies before bed, and I'm sure to wake up from a nightmare somewhere in the middle of the night.  Eating a peanut butter and honey sandwich when my stomach growled around 1 a.m. probably didn't help.  Like Snoopy in the Charlie Brown episode where he eats five pizzas and a milkshake, then dreams he's a sled dog  in Alaska, I am prone to all sorts of weird imaginings after raiding the refrigerator post-midnight.

Last night I started reading Feed, by Mira Grant (the pen name for Seanan McGuire, author of the October Daye books).  It is an action-filled political zombie horror thriller.  Of course I dreamed I was fighting off zombies.  I remember thinking I didn't have any guns, and that my sword was going to be overwhelmed by the sheer mass of monsters.  Then I woke up and had to remind myself that as of yet there is no reanimation virus or dawn of the dead.
