Reviews of Feed

This book is scary, gory, great vampire stuff, good story but,
Too much good stuff at the end and not at the beginning. Enjoyed the read.

this was recommended to me... and at first I was really unsure.. it leapt along with so many cliches that i was groaning and about to give up.
HOWEVER... it soon slowed and gave such vivid brain visuals it was impressive... but the best bit in a sad way is the ending... unique and mind blowing!
I would really like the author to revise this and maybe eek it a little bit more.... the bits i enjoyed were over in seconds... and ending just touched on the potential horror!

This short by Jerry McKinney paints a new look at the old vampire tale. I enjoyed learning as the newly turned vamp learner, but would have like to have had a bit slower pace in the beginning, with a bit more description. Jerry makes up for the quick pace a little less than mid way through, when he really gets into his stride and you are seeing the world through the main character's eyes. The imagery and rawness he portrays is perfect for this story.
As for the ending, I'm not going to give anything away, but trust me, it's one you will be thinking about for a while. Jerry McKinney has crafted an imaginative yet real story, well worth the read.

When I first started reading Feed, I wasn't sure I was going to enjoy it. It is a short story, but I felt that it was moving along way too fast. I would have prefered for a slower pace and more details into how the main character, Ian, came to become the desperate creature he is and some more into the characters he encounters.

That being said, I did enjoy this book. Ian, a newly transformed vampire, is clueless to how he became the way he is. Yes, he knows it was Penny, a beautiful vampire with a young son that changed him, but he doesn't know what about vampires is true. The sunlight is and the hunger for blood, but why can't he do anything else that vampires can do.

Then there is his mysterious keeper. Someone is leaving him 'food' and he has been forbidden to go into the city. He doesn't understand why, but is drawn to a woman that lives in a Victorian house. Soemtimes he does sneak out to see her.

The ending brought about a twist that I didn't see coming, leaving me shocked and wanting to know more about the creture that proved to be Ian's undoing.

I really hope the authors write a longer version of this short story. I would be one of the first in line to buy it.

A truly gruesome story to feed the appetite of vampire and horror fans alike. Jerry McKinney is a great story-teller whose characters make you feel their emotions.
