Synopsis

From “one of the best new voices in horror fiction” (Brian Keene, Bram Stoker Award–winning author), this darkly satirical supernatural thriller follows a would-be influencer whose dreams of online fame spiral into nightmare territory when she encounters a mysterious and dangerous social media platform—perfect for fans of Grady Hendrix and Joe Hill.

When a video depicting the brutal murder of a former classmate leaks online, Kylie Bennington’s—whose dreams of becoming a successful influencer remain frustratingly elusive—curiosity gets the better of her, leading to the discovery of an off-the-grid social media app called MonoLife. As it turns out, there are certain cryptic rules in the user agreement that must be adhered to, such as interacting with other users at least twice daily or risk losing it all…and never, ever speaking of MonoLife’s existence to non-users or risk dire consequences.

For this is a platform that primarily rewards the worst in human behavior, and which begins chipping away at Kylie’s sanity across post after post for an ever-increasing audience of immoral fans. Now Kylie’s going to find out just how far she’s willing to go on her unyielding rise to the top—even if that means coming face-to-face with the frightening and ruthless forces behind MonoLife, who see all from deep within the shadows…

Thank you to NetGalley and Gallery Books for an ARC of Feeders. This was easily the weirdest book I've read all year and I LOVE weird, but this just didn't hit the mark. I was really hoping for a solid horror story but this ended up just being 90% gratuitous gore for shock value and 10% creepy detail......more

Goodreads review by Brennan on April 18, 2025

Take some Tremblay ambiguity and a little LaRocca “I don’t care if you find these characters redeemable” and you’ve got the basic ingredients for Matt Serafini’s Feeders. Serafini made his name on the indie scene, and though I have all the respect in the world for indie books, Feeders feels like the......more

Goodreads review by Mars on March 19, 2025

there should be a rule that anyone writing about gen z, needs to consult an actual gen z person about how we actually talk. this book was far too long and could do without the katy perry references. extremely unnecessary and takes away from the plot. as does the unnecessary detail about the clothing......more
