LONDON’S BURNING A great fire has swept through the heart of the city, destroying everything in its path, the living, the dead, and the undead alike. And yet, protected by the impenetrable walls of the Tower of London, a handful of people have somehow survived. Now, they must strike out if they want to stay alive. They’re going to have to risk everything to get out of this hellish place, then risk it all again to reach Ledsey Cross, a fabled safe haven hundreds of miles away. Every step will be fraught with danger. There will be no shortcuts, and no easy options. To stand any chance of a future, the group will have to trek through the harshest of winters, across a land ruled by the undead. The final book in a standalone trilogy set in the nightmare world of David Moody's international best-selling AUTUMN novels – the original epic British zombie saga. PRAISE FOR DAVID MOODY AND THE AUTUMN SERIES: “A head-spinning thrill ride, a cautionary tale about the most salient emotion of the 21st century… HATER will haunt you long after you read the last page…” —GUILLERMO DEL TORO (director of PAN’S LABYRINTH, THE SHAPE OF WATER) on HATER “David Moody's AUTUMN: DAWN breathes new life into my favourite undead series.” —Craig DiLouie, author of EPISODE THIRTEEN “AUTUMN: DAWN is an instant classic of the zombie genre.” —The Sci-Fi and Fantasy Reviewer “AUTUMN: INFERNO is an absolute blast from beginning to end. 10/10” —Games, Brrraaains & A Head-Banging Life “With AUTUMN: INFERNO Moody has once again demonstrated his undeniable ability to revolutionise the zombie as a staple of the horror genre, reframing the humble, shambling corpse as a genuinely terrifying opponent.” —The SciFi and Fantasy Book Review

Autumn - Inferno
Updated at Jan 19, 2022, 19:04
AUTUMN: INFERNO is the second book in the new trilogy set in the nightmare world of David Moody's international best-selling series. There are now more than three hundred people grouped together on the banks of the Thames in the shadows of the Tower of London. On one side, the river. In all other directions, nothing but the dead. If they can make it through winter, they'll have a shot at long-term survival, but with so many mouths to feed, food is at a premium. They have no choice but to scavenge through the ruins of London to survive, but with every street they clear, every building they strip, they risk enraging the vast hordes of the undead that have them surrounded. It's a delicate balancing act: stave off starvation while doing everything possible to avoid all out war. But there may be another option... PRAISE FOR THE LONDON TRILOGY: “Autumn: Dawn is an unabated, unforgiving onslaught of intensity that takes aim at both the light and dark side of humanity. Like a punch to the gut, it knocks the wind out of you on the opening page and keeps you gasping for air until the very end.”—BookNest “For anyone who may have been concerned about what new ideas a new Autumn novel could possibly contain there is no need to worry. Heading back into this world was like putting on a favourite comfortable jumper. I loved almost every single word of this novel, it was a triumphant return to the rotting world of Autumn and I cannot wait to see where the story heads next. 10/10”—The Rotting Zombie “David Moody's Autumn: Dawn breathes new life into my favourite undead series. Moody brings his trademark approach to a zombie world: interesting and realistic characters, organic conflict, and always, always, the dramatic and horrifying struggle to survive in a world overrun by the dead.” —Craig DiLouie, author of THE CHILDREN OF RED PEAK “Autumn: Dawn is an instant classic of the zombie genre, a superb novel that demands to be read by anyone with an interest in zombie fiction, or high-quality horror fiction in general; and I cannot wait to see what Moody brings to this setting with the next book in this new series.” —The Sci-Fi and Fantasy Reviewer “Autumn: Dawn is a fantastic read from beginning to end. Not only does it feel like an Autumn story, it also feels fresh. Or as fresh as a zombie horror can be in 2021. I'll be hungrily awaiting the next story in this trilogy.” —Games, Brrraaains & A Head-Banging Life

Last of the Living
Updated at Jan 19, 2022, 16:43
An expanded anniversary edition of David Moody’s zombie novella collection. Now contains around 50% more zombie grimness!   Ten visions of the undead apocalypse from the author of the best-selling HATER and AUTUMN novels.   “As demonstrated throughout his previous novels, readers should crown Moody king of the zombie horror novel” —Booklist   From the first moments of an outbreak to humanity’s final gasping breath, from the centre of a sprawling metropolis to a forgotten and isolated village, LAST OF THE LIVING is a collection of stories focusing on those who’ve survived the unthinkable. Some thrive while others disintegrate. Some fight while others capitulate. No matter how each individual survivor reacts, one thing is certain: the dead have risen, and nothing will ever be the same again.   “British horror at its absolute best” —Starburst   Includes the stories: THE COST OF LIVINGWHO WE USED TO BEUNGODLY BASTARD (brand new story)ISOLATIONSCRATCH (new to this collection)TIGHTROPESMURIELANGEL (new to this collection)LAST CHRISTMAS (written with Wayne Simmons – new to this collection)WISH I WAS HERE   “Moody has the power to make the most mundane and ordinary characters interesting and believable, and is reminiscent of Stephen King at his finest.” —Shadowlocked   “In his evocation of fear and unease and the speed with which he grips you, he brings to mind old Brit horror writer James Herbert. And that is some recommendation.” —London Lite

The Last Big Thing
Updated at Jan 19, 2022, 16:38
We sit in our own little bubbles, watching the rest of the world go by. We think ‘it’ll never happen to me’ but guess what? At some point it probably will. We might think we’re in control but believe me, there’s a lot we don’t know. In the spirit of The Twilight Zone and Tales of the Unexpected, cult author David Moody presents eleven stories about life, death and everything in between (and after). From the never-ending nightmare of domestic bliss to the search for the ultimate body modification, from warring families to warring nations, from the last minutes before doomsday to the polluted shores of the post-post-apocalypse, THE LAST BIG THING highlights how thin the line between the ordinary and extraordinary can be.

A dark and dirty horror novel from David Moody, author of HATER and AUTUMN 10TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION – now includes a bonus short story EPISODE 5. A spate of brutal murders rocks a small Scottish town. The bodies of the dead are savagely mutilated and unspeakably defiled. There are no apparent motives and no obvious connections between the victims. Thussock is a close-knit community – a quiet, inward looking place where crimes like these never happen. People here treat outsiders with suspicion, and the killings only started when the Griffiths family arrived in town. THERE’S EITHER A SERIAL KILLER PREYING ON THE PEOPLE OF THUSSOCK, OR SOMETHING FAR WORSE PRAISE FOR DAVID MOODY AND STRANGERS: “A head-spinning thrill ride, a cautionary tale about the most salient emotion of the 21st century… HATER will haunt you long after you read the last page…” —GUILLERMO DEL TORO (director of PAN’S LABYRINTH, THE SHAPE OF WATER) on HATER “STRANGERS is easily Moody’s best work to date, a dark, disturbing and visceral book that gives him a legitimate claim to the title of Britain’s Best Living Horror Author” —THIS IS HORROR “In his evocation of fear and unease and the speed with which he grips you, he brings to mind old Brit horror writer James Herbert. And that is some recommendation.” —LONDON LITE “Moody has the power to make the most mundane and ordinary characters interesting and believable and is reminiscent of Stephen King at his finest.” —SHADOWLOCKED "Moody is as imaginative as Barker, as compulsory as King, and as addictive as Palahniuk." —SCREAM THE HORROR MAGAZINE
