About

An expanded anniversary edition of David Moody's zombie novella collection. Now contains around 50% more zombie grimness! Ten visions of the undead apocalypse from the author of the best-selling HATER and AUTUMN novels. "As demonstrated throughout his previous novels, readers should crown Moody king of the zombie horror novel" -Booklist From the first moments of an outbreak to humanity's final gasping breath, from the centre of a sprawling metropolis to a forgotten and isolated village, LAST OF THE LIVING is a collection of stories focusing on those who've survived the unthinkable.Some thrive while others disintegrate. Some fight while others capitulate. No matter how each individual survivor reacts, one thing is certain: the dead have risen, and nothing will ever be the same again. "British horror at its absolute best" -Starburst Includes the stories:THE COST OF LIVINGWHO WE USED TO BEUNGODLY BASTARD (brand new story)ISOLATIONSCRATCH (new to this collection)TIGHTROPESMURIELANGEL (new to this collection)LAST CHRISTMAS (written with Wayne Simmons – new to this collection)WISH I WAS HERE "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 "In his evocation of fear and unease and the speed with which he grips you, he brings to mind old Brit horror writer James Herbert. And that is some recommendation." -London Lite David Moody was born in 1970 and grew up in Birmingham, UK, 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 were snapped up by Guillermo del Toro (Hellboy, Pan's Labyrinth, Pacific Rim) and Mark Johnson (producer of Breaking Bad and the Chronicles of Narnia films). Moody lives with his wife and a houseful of daughters and stepdaughters, which may explain his pre-occupation with Armageddon.
