Review: second thing I bought for my Kindle

I read this initially when Mira Grant/Seanan McGuire posted each part daily to her blog the month before the release of Deadline. I loved it then and at the time was a little sad that it wasn't going to be available in print. However, after being gifted a Kindle one of the first things I realized was "Oh! I can now have the entirety great prequel on hand!"As others have said (and I just did) this is a prequel. It's a collection of vignettes leading up to the outbreak of what is ultimately the zombie apocalypse and it takes place 25 years before the start of Feed.If you're already read Feed and Deadline you'll know a lot of the information being imparted in this collection but now that history has a human face. If you haven't read them I don't know that you necessarily need to, not if you appreciated novellas and vignettes. I wouldn't encourage you NOT to read those novels, quite the contrary, but if a full price novel is out of your range then this is well worth its cost in both money and time!
