David Moody is an English author that writes horror novels. Moody is best known for 'Autumn', a book he published in and which later received a movie adaptation. David Moody was born in in Dudley, Staffordshire, England. Even as a child, Moody's fascination for horror was unmistakable. David Moody, Autumn Infected Books, To take an old publishing saw and turn it on its head, for every million self-published disasters, where cartons of bloody horrible novels sit in an author's basement waiting for a single sale, there's one monstrous, awe-inspiring success story where a self-published author becomes richer than Croesus.

I was fortunate enough to find David Moody's writing by accident while searching the internet for something to read. I had never read an on-line novel before, and that was the only form offered at the time. The way David takes you into the mind and souls of the characters is masterful. We're like vamps but we just want to hang out, not suck your blood or be annoying. Book 4. Infected Books. 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.

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. 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.

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. Not only does it feel like an Autumn story, it also feels fresh. Or as fresh as a zombie horror can be in I'll be hungrily awaiting the next story in this trilogy.
