This book was awesome! I've currently been trying to find a a free ebook download for the sequel! ^-^ YAY! It's really cool, but a downside is that it switches from third to first person randomly after a long time of third person. Otherwaise really awesome and original even with the zombie concept in some aspects. Definaetly reccomended.
its a nice one........... horror......... and SF.............. and the other parts of the series r good as well.......... yep there are more................... but the ending of the last part was not so appealing bt before that, an excellent reading for u......... believe me
I've been searching all my life for something scary enough
to make pee my pants. So far this book is the closest thing
to that point (and I have seen some very scary things in my life).
When will this become a movie?
Great! Defiantly a page turner. If you love horror, zombies in particular, you will enjoy this!
sick!
i just read the first and
was disgusted with how little the author conveyed in a part....
didnt even want to know wt happened after
i say,quite avoidable
Let's face it, the zombie genre is pretty hard territory. It's tough being original when writing about reanimated corpses with no personality and nothing but instinct and an interest in killing anyone not already dead.
You have to take that into account when reading this book, the basics of the storyline are a foregone conclusion and there's not a great deal of scope for originality. (Perhaps someone could try writing from the zombie's point of view, but I suspect "I felt hungry so I staggered around saying 'brains' and trying to catch people so I could eat them" would get a little tedious.)
So how do you write this kind of story? The only way to survive it with any kind of credibility is to focus on the survivers and make it a story about surviving the crisis. Which is what David Moody has tried to do.
The characters are fairly two dimensional - there's an attempt at depth but somewhat of a lack of the language to express it.
All of which leaves us with a book of people running around trying to avoid the zombies and zombies walking around slowly rotting. At least they don't eat brains.
really a page turner. makes u feel as if u r really out there experiencing it.
If you like horror, you will love this one.
Synopsis:
"In less than twenty-four hours a vicious and virulent disease destroys virtually all of the population. Billions are killed. Thousands die every second. There are no symptoms and no warnings. Within moments of infection each victim suffers a violent and agonizing death. Only a handful of survivors remain. By the end of the first day those survivors wish they were dead. Then the disease strikes again, and all hell breaks loose. The classic free underground novel finally bursts into the mainstream. Cold, dark, relentless and uncomfortably plausible. A Night of the Living Dead for the 21st Century. "the perfect zombie story" "nothing written in the genre has grabbed me in the same way as AUTUMN" "an equal to Romero's Night of the Living Dead."
Autumn is the beginning to David Moody’s four book zombie series which follows the few remaining survivors in a post-apocalyptic world. As the book begins, the reader is quickly confronted with the harrowing situation of a world that is suddenly turned upside down. Like Romero’s classic work, the novel turns more towards the struggles of a few survivors who have to cope with the situation, both mentally and physically. When the undead begin to show signs of aggression, the desperate predicament becomes a fast-paced tale of the struggle for life. David’s writing is directed more towards the emotional strain of this now dangerous world, as he submerges the reader into a dark world where any sound or movement can prove fatal to you and those with you. The relationship between the two main characters Michael and Emma creates an interesting sub-plot, as the story progresses towards a breath taking ending.
The book kept me on the edge of my seat from the very beginning, offering up a thick serving of horror, tension and dark suspense. The desperation of the characters in the novel is portrayed superbly, bringing forth a realistic (if a zombie novel can ever be called that) and terrifying read.
Once you’ve finished this first book you’ll definitely want to read the further three instalments. This is a book that every fan of zombie fiction is going to love. Very highly recommended!
The book is released through David Moody's own publishing company "Infected Books" and is available in paperback running for a total of 284 pages.
