David Moody grew up on a diet of trashy horror and pulp science fiction. He worked as a bank manager 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 spawned a series of sequels and a movie starring Dexter Fletcher and David Carradine. Film rights to HATER were snapped up by Guillermo del Toro ( Hellboy , Pan’s Labyrinth , Pacific Rim ) and Mark Johnson ( Breaking Bad ). Moody lives with his wife and a houseful of daughters and stepdaughters, which may explain his pre-occupation with Armageddon. Visit Moody at www.davidmoody.net.

THE COST OF LIVING
“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
“A truly superb post-apocalyptic story.”

DLS Reviews
“A short story that will have you eager to see how Stuart and his family survive, an ending that will leave you stunned, this is an intense zombie story that I would recommend to anyone.”

Bookbloke
“If you are looking for a story with princesses and bubble gum, then do not read The Cost of Living. If you want a real story that is raw and dark then you need to read this book.”

ISOLATION
“A gory thrill-fest from start to finish.”
—
Wayne Simmons, author of THE GIRL IN THE BASEMENT and PLASTIC JESUS
“An absolute masterclass in devastatingly dramatic character arcs.”

The Next Best Book Blog
“With Isolation I was once again blown away by the recognisable settings and relatable yet engrossing characters. A gripping read. Treated to four more short stories within this book, all with different takes on zombie fiction, it’s a must have for zombie lovers, people who love gore and violence and people who love stories with exceptional characterisation. It’s one that’s not to be missed.”
