Autumn - Moody, David

. .

Résumé :
A dystopian field guide to the end of the world from the author of AUTUMN and HATER. Ninety-nine per cent of the population are dead, struck down by a deadly virus. Experience the apocalypse from the perspectives of almost fifty different people who've survived through luck, not skill. They are a desperate bunch: cheating lovers, workshy civil servants, permanently drunk publicans, teenage rebels, obsessive accountants, failed husbands, disrobed priests, and more... The only thing they have in common is the fact they're still alive (for now). AUTUMN: THE HUMAN CONDITION follows the individual stories of these desperate survivors through the nightmare of their final days and weeks. 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 As demonstrated throughout his previous novels, readers should crown Moody king of the zombie horror novel -BOOKLIST The best survival horror since Richard Matheson's I AM LEGEND. -WAYNE SIMMONS, author of FLU If you only read one book this year, read AUTUMN. -SUSPENSE MAGAZINE By the end of the book, you will be waiting impatiently for the next instalment. -DREAD CENTRAL Moody is as imaginative as Barker, as compulsory as King, and as addictive as Palahniuk -SCREAM MAGAZINE Takes the genre in a fascinating new direction. If John Wyndham was alive and writing zombie novels, they'd read like this -JONATHAN MABERRY, best-selling author of PATIENT ZERO and ROT & RUIN...

Biographie:
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. With the publication of a new series of Autumn and Hater stories, Moody has furthered his reputation as a writer of suspense-laced SF/horror, and farther out genre books of all description.
