We love all the reviews readers have left us on GRIEF EATER by Emma Osborne! Thanks for supporting small presses!

Here's a review from Jennifer:

I went into this book only knowing that it was about zombies. And it was about zombies.

But it was also so much more than that.

Normally stream of consciousness books frustrate me and I stay away from them, but that didn't bother me in this one. Since the MC becomes a zombie, it makes perfect sense that we're only in her head and there's rare slices of dialogue. I love that the majority of this novella is told in memories, because she's consuming her victims' memories and I think that's a way for her to keep some shred of humanity in a now inhuman body.
It's such a beautiful allegory for the q***r community, for those who never felt like they were loved, whose family wouldn't love them, either because of their sexuality or plainly for existing. Our FMC going after her family for revenge, but also with the small hope in her heart that she'll find some flicker of love, that she'll find something redeeming in their memories, it broke my heart. Some people seem incapable of love and those who are raised by them or raised with them are the ones who suffer the most.
Yeah, a lovely little novella. Brutal and grotesque where the worst of it isn't even from the zombies.

New horror from Interstellar Flight Press and Emma Osborne. GRIEF EATER is a q***r zombie book with a whole lot of heart and teeth.

Here's a NetGalley review:

Some wounds are too deep to die with you.

Grief Eater by Emma Osborne is a horror novelette about Kristina, who rises from a violent death not as the fragile woman her family once abandoned, but as something altogether different. Rageful. Powerful. Hungry. What follows is a journey across blood-slicked highways into the Australian bush and back to where it all began... With one question at its core: is she here to forgive, or to feed?

*"I am a devil made of vengeance, and I am hunting."*

Osborne's prose is beautiful: clear, visual and unsparing. The gore is plentiful and I was completely here for it. There is something genuinely refreshing about a zombie story told from the zombie's perspective, and these are no stumbling, groaning undead. These are cold-hearted apex predators.

I had to let go of my own deeply ingrained zombie logic more than once, but for this character and this story I did so very willingly. Osborne builds smartly on the cultural architecture we've already constructed around zombie apocalypses, adding just enough detail to make the world feel real without letting it overshadow what the story is actually about.

At its core, Grief Eater is about family bonds. When the people who were supposed to love you don't accept you, that is not something you simply overcome. Those wounds travel with you. Apparently even into death.

*"I wonder how many of us ate the men who hurt them. I hope that all of those men got the violence they deserved."*

Grief Eater sinks its teeth into q***r identity, found family and the kind of grief that devours you from the inside. It is visceral, gritty and emotional. I very much look forward to seeing what Emma Osborne writes next.
