Autumn

Broschiertes Buch
A bastard hybrid of War of the Worlds and Night of the Living Dead, the Autumn series chronicles the struggle survivors are forced to contend with in a world torn apart by a deadly disease. 99% of the population of the planet has been killed in less than 24 hours. Animated by "phase two" of some unknown contagion, the dead begin to rise. At first slow, blind, dumb and lumbering, the bodies soon regain their most basic senses and abilities-sight, hearing, locomotion-as well as the instinct toward aggression and violence. Held back only by the restraints of their rapidly decomposing flesh, the dead seem to have only one single goal-to lumber forth and destroy the sole remaining attraction in the silent, lifeless world: those who have survived the plague, who now find themselves outnumbered 1,000,000 to 1... In Autumn: Purification, the heroes from the original Autumn novel and Autumn: The City work together to survive in this horrifying new world. Without ever using the 'Z' word, the Autumn series offers a new perspective on the traditional zombie story. There's no flesh eating, no fast-moving corpses, no gore for gore's sake. Combining the atmosphere and tone of a George Romero film with the attitude and awareness of 28 Days Later, this horrifying and suspenseful novel is filled with relentless cold, dark fear.…mehr

Hater

Broschiertes Buch
Soon to be a major motion picture-produced by Guillermo del Toro and directed by J.A. Bayona REMAIN CALM DO NOT PANIC TAKE SHELTER WAIT FOR FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS THE SITUATION IS UNDER CONTROL Society is rocked by a sudden increase in the number of violent assaults on individuals. Christened 'Haters' by the media, the attackers strike without warning, killing all who cross their path. The assaults are brutal, remorseless and extreme: within seconds, normally rational, self-controlled people become frenzied, vicious killers. There are no apparent links as a hundred random attacks become a thousand, then hundreds of thousands. Everyone, irrespective of gender, age, race or any other difference, has the potential to become a victim - or a Hater. People are afraid to go to work, afraid to leave their homes and, increasingly, afraid that at any moment their friends, even their closest family, could turn on them with ultra violent intent. Waking up each morning, no matter how well defended, everyone must now consider the fact that by the end of the day, they might be dead. Or perhaps worse, become a killer themselves. As the status quo shifts, ATTACK FIRST, ASK QUESTIONS LATER becomes the order of the day... only, the answers might be much different than what you expect.... In the tradition of H. G. Wells and Richard Matheson, Hater is one man's story of his place in a world gone mad- a world infected with fear, violence, and HATE.…mehr

David Moody

Moody, DavidDavid Moody wurde 1970 geboren und wuchs mit billigen Horror- und Science Fiction-Büchern und -Filmen in Birmingham, UK, auf. Er arbeitete als Filialleiter einer Bank und als Einsatzleiter für einige Finanzinstitutionen, bevor er den Beruf an den Nagel hing, um sich den Lebensunterhalt mit dem Schreiben über das Ende der Welt zu verdienen. Er schrieb eine Anzahl an Horrorromanen, einschließlich HERBST, das seit seiner Veröffentlichung im Jahr 2001 mehr als eine halbe Million Mal heruntergeladen wurde, und er brachte eine Reihe an Sequels und einen Film, mit Dexter Fletcher und David Carradine in den Hauptrollen, heraus. Die Filmrechte für HATER schnappten sich Guillermo del Toro (Hellboy, Pan's Labyrinth) und Mark Johnson (Produzent der Chroniken von Narnia). Moody lebt mit seiner Frau und einem Haus voller Töchter und Stieftöchter zusammen, was seine Beschäftigung mit dem Weltuntergang erklären mag.
