Autumn

From the author of the Hater trilogy. In less than 24 hours a vicious and virulent disease will destroy virtually the entire population of the Earth--and that's before things get really bad.

David Moody first released Hater in 2006, and without an agent, sold the film rights for the novel to Mark Johnson (producer, Breaking Bad) and Guillermo Del Toro (director, The Shape of Water, Pan's Labyrinth). Moody's seminal zombie novel Autumn was made into a movie starring Dexter Fletcher and David Carradine. He has an unhealthy fascination with the end of the world and likes to write books about ordinary folks going through absolute hell. The publication of a second trilogy of Hater stories cemented his reputation as a writer of suspense-laced SF/ horror, and "farther out" genre books of all description.

Forty days have passed since the end of the world began. Billions of people were killed in less than a day and now the entire world is rotting.



Those few who are still alive are dealing with a nightmare situation. The dead swarm the land, limited by their decaying bodies - and yet, remarkably, they are becoming more controlled. They are becoming self-aware, and they will defend themselves at all costs.



A group of men and woman have managed to survive against the odds, burning, smashing, battering and destroying every dead body they come across. Somewhere nearby, out of sight and out of earshot, another group of survivors have adopted a completely different strategy for survival: silence, restraint and self-control.



But a series of horrific events are about to force these two groups of people together and time is running out. With tension rising and fear reaching unbearable levels it's suddenly no longer clear whether the biggest threat comes from outside the walls of the shelter, or from within.



Praise for the AUTUMN series:

'David Moody continues to go against the trend by writing zombie fiction (without the word "zombie") and swapping gore for intelligent storytelling and deep character development. This is smart fiction, written with style and insight' Jonathan Maberry, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Patient Zero

'Autumn is genuinely creepy' David Wellington, bestselling author of Monster Island
