Rise: The Complete Newsflesh Collection by Mira Grant

4.0

Very good collection. I got access to a lot of these through audiobooks of individual stories, thanks to my lovely library.

Countdown was beautifully creepy and lovely.
Everglades was interesting, but very short.
San Diego 2014: The Last Stand of the California Browncoats was good, but didn't grip me really strongly.
How Green This Land, How Blue This Sea was really interesting. I thought it was going to have more of a big plot than it really did; more personal suspense. It felt like more of a interesting travelogue and I was expecting a tense political thriller, I think. It was good, but my expectations were off.
The Day the Dead Came to Show and Tell was good. I kept expecting more people to live. And the ending; how it went was truly horrifying.
Please Do Not Taunt the Octopus was good. I really enjoy Dr. Shannon Abbey, she's a wonderful character.
All the Pretty Little Horses was mostly just sad.
Coming to You Live was good, and it was nice to get a full conclusion to Shaun and Georgia's story.
