Instead, it’s a story set within the world of Newsflesh, telling a story that parallels the story of Feed (book #1 in the series). I would absolutely not consider Feedback “a new entry point”, as the blurb says. Okay, first things first: DO NOT pick up Feedback thinking that you can start the Newsflesh books at this point. Or die trying.įeedback is a full-length Newsflesh novel that overlaps the events of the acclaimed first novel in the series, Feed, and offers a new entry point to this thrilling and treacherous world. Surrounded by the infected, and facing more insidious forces working in the shadows, they must hit the presidential campaign trail and uncover dangerous truths. Now, twenty years after the Rising, a team of scrappy underdog reporters relentlessly pursue the facts while competing against the brother-and-sister blog superstars, the Masons. The infection spread leaving those afflicted with a single uncontrollable impulse: FEED. But in doing so we unleashed something horrifying and unstoppable.

But with this, neither the author nor the public have any other concern than as some observation is necessary upon those parts of the work which thirteen years have made comparatively obsolete.

THIS little work was finished in the year 1803, and intended for immediate publication.

Ashton used digital archives from the Redondo Reflex and other city adjacent newspapers as the basis for his surrealist account, masterfully tracing this larger shift away from coastal maritime repose in the wake of the Spanish Flu, the Great Depression, and World War II through momentary fragments that feel as real and palpable as they do transient, mythological, and strangely reminiscent of our current times. You'll Like it Here is a haunting bricolage, divided into three parts, that excavates the forgotten history of Redondo Beach in the early 1900's through old news clippings, advertisements, recipes and other ephemera that speak to the ills of male stoicism, industrialization and capitalism, and environmental displacement. This book, rather than being divided by origins, splits the goddesses into the categories of Creativity & Manifestation, Love, Power, Protection, and Reinvention. A slightly different take on a similar theme is the brand-new, super gorgeous Legendary Ladies by Ann Shen, which rather than focusing on real life historical figures, taps into the wealth of mythical characters and goddesses that are equally amazing and we should all learn more about.
