Book Description

April 30, 2005
The human race is finished. Mankind is all but dead and only a handful of frightened individuals remain. Experience the end of the world from thirty-five different perspectives. These people have survived through chance, not skill, and they are a desperate bunch; cheating lovers, work-shy civil servants, permanently drunk publicans, teenage rebels, obsessive accountants, failed husbands, first-time cross-dressers, disrobed priests and more. Part-companion, part-guide book and part-sequel, AUTUMN: THE HUMAN CONDITION follows the individual stories of these desperate survivors through the early days of the nightmare and beyond. The final book in the AUTUMN series. Download the original AUTUMN novel free from www.theinfected.co.uk

About the Author

David Moody is the author of the acclaimed AUTUMN living dead novels. A writer sick of square-jawed, all-American heroes and contrived happy endings, his books are unique and individual. Tried and tested horror and science-fiction themes are twisted and given a fresh perspective by this British author. Moody's characters are ordinary people - you, me, the man or woman next door or across the street - forced to survive the most extraordinary of conditions. It is this uneasy mixture of the familiar and bizarre that makes his stories such unsettling and disturbing reads.

More About the Author

Here are my biographies from my UK and US publishers. They both seem to tell half the story each!

David Moody was born in 1970 and grew up in Birmingham on a diet of trashy horror and pulp science fiction books and movies. He worked as a bank manager and as operations manager for a number of financial institutions before giving up the day job to write about the end of the world for a living. He has written a number of horror novels, including AUTUMN, which has been downloaded more than half a million times since publication in 2001 and has spawned a series of sequels and a movie starring Dexter Fletcher and David Carradine. Film rights to HATER have been bought by Guillermo del Toro (Hellboy, Pan's Labyrinth) and Mark Johnson (producer of the Chronicles of Narnia films). Moody lives outside Birmingham (UK) with his wife and a houseful of daughters and stepdaughters, which may explain his pre-occupation with Armageddon.

DAVID MOODY self published Hater online in 2006, and without an agent, succeeded in selling film rights to Guillermo del Toro (director, Hellboy 1 & 2, Pan's Labyrinth and the upcoming Hobbit series) and Mark Johnson (producer, The Chronicles of Narnia). With the official publication of Hater, David is poised to make a significant mark as a writer of "farther out" fiction of all varieties.

3.0 out of 5 stars The stories you didn't see before., May 26, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Autumn: The Human Condition (Paperback)
David Moody, Autumn: The Human Condition (Infected Books, 2005)

Moody rounds out his Autumn series with The Human Condition, which contains a select few stories set in the Autumn universe along with passages from the points of view of a number of major and minor characters from the series. Without the plot structure of the first three novels, Moody was able to go back through the story and illuminate some of the nooks and crannies that were touched on, but never explored; it wouldn't surprise me to find that a number of the pieces here had there geneses in fan mail or newsgroup questions.

If you've read the original books (and if you haven't, read those first), you have a good idea of what to expect as far as the writing style goes. Those who've wondered about the living dead's method of killing in the novels will get their answer (no, they're still not eating people). Some character traits of people we met along the way are revealed. In general, if you read the first three, you'll want to read this one. ***

5.0 out of 5 stars Zombies, with a twist, September 10, 2007
This review is from: Autumn: The Human Condition (Paperback)
This novel is available to read for free online at the author's website. That being the case will have most of you scrambling to his website to read it. The kicker is that there are three more novels in the story that you must purchase in order to read them. The first one is in my opinion so mezmerizing a story that I could not just read the first one and let that be the end of it. The story begins in a common enough way almost to the point of being cliche. Upon later character development, it becomes apparent that we are not dealing with your average run of the mill type undead. And while the cliche types of violence will kill these zombies, you will have to read on to find out if you would really want to use them or not. This is the first Series of Zombie literature that I have read that actually shows you what it is like being on the undead side looking out in a way that is serious and saddening. BUY THEM....BUY THEM ALL. You won't regret it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Some explanantion to the overall story, May 18, 2007

This review is from: Autumn: The Human Condition (Paperback)
This "short stories of apocalypse" sheds some light to the overall story. We really get to understand what happens in Canada and how the military in UK reacts etc. A must read if you have read the previous triology
