When Will You Rise: Stories to End the World Hardcover – October 31, 2012

The end of the world has to start somewhere. In the summer of 2014, two scientific breakthroughs--one, a cure for cancer, the other, a cure for the common cold--seemed certain to change the future of mankind forever. What no one could have guessed was that these miraculous advancements would change humanity's future by nearly bringing it to an end.

'Countdown' is the first novella set in the world of Feed, and tracks the early days of the Rising, from well-meaning medical research to the dead beginning to walk. Meet the accidental creators of the zombie apocalypse, and ask yourself for the first time: When will you Rise?

A Mira Grant short story, 'Apocalypse Scenario #683: The Box,' is also included. It's the chronicle of a high school game turned deadly, the things we do for friendship, and the true cost of learning things man wasn't meant to know.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love Mira Grant

I love her in all her forms. I first read "Countdown" on the author's blog and was THRILLED when it came out in hard copy. Brief but very relevant to the Newsflesh world and it definitely added to my understanding of the universe. It is also an agonizing tease. I would love to see her delve more into the early days.

"The Box" creeped me out, mostly because I actually sit around with a couple of friends doing something similar.

4.0 out of 5 stars "When Will You Rise"
Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2013
Mira Grant is the author of the popular and bestselling Newsflesh zombie trilogy consisting of Feed, Deadline, and Blackout. The stories in When Will You Rise: Stories to End the World were originally published on Grant's blog leading up to the release of Deadline in 2011, with a new story posted each day. They are now collected in their entirety in When Will You Rise from Subterranean Press.

Anyone who has read the trilogy is familiar with the state of the world after the zombie uprising and how the main characters, Georgia and Shaun, lived through it and continued to survive. Readers have had hints here and there and some explanation of the past and when the uprising began in the summer of 2014. When Will You Rise tells those stories, of Shaun and Georgia's parents, of the scientists working on a cure for the common cold, and those working on a cure for cancer and how the two ended up comingling in the atmosphere to turn everyone into ticking zombie time bombs: once you die you come back a zombie hungry for human flesh.

When Will You Rise is an excellent compendium to the trilogy, filling in gaps and histories that the original three books all but gloss over. Fans of the series will not be disappointed, and for those wanting a small taste of what the series has to offer, to whet their appetite, When Will You Rise is a perfect start.

5.0 out of 5 stars What's the worst that can happen?
Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2017
Story of how the events in Feed started. The book is very good and you don't need to have read the Feed trilogy first, it is a perfect standalone. If you read this and don't question what is happening right now in the real world, then you must have no connection to the outside world. You have scientists trying to cure cancer and the common cold by redeveloping vaccines, whether they are the good guys or not is how you view scientific advancement. Then you have the right do gooders who don't really think about what their actions may cause, they just know they are right and can do or say anything to justify their view, and never seem to question if they are actually correct. The media fits in with the latter, as they tell you what they want you to hear, whether it's true doesn't seem to matter. If anything this story does, it should make you look at long term consequences to one's own actions, and what's the worst case scenario before following through with action.
