Autumn: Disintegration is the penultimate chapter in David Moody's riveting horror series!
Forty days have passed since the world died. Billions of corpses walk the Earth. Everything is disintegrating. . . .
A group of eleven men and women have survived against the odds. On an almost daily basis, they attack the dead with brutal ferocity, tearing through them with utter contempt.
Somewhere nearby, out of sight and out of earshot, is another group that has adopted a completely different survival strategy. Where the others have used brutality and strength, these people have demonstrated subtlety, planning, and tactics.
A series of horrific events force the two groups together. Backed into a corner and surrounded by hundreds of thousands of corpses, they all know that their final battle with the dead is about to begin.
Review
โDavid Moody is a master suspense builder.โ---James Melzer, author of *Escape: The Zombie Chronicles
โMoody is an inarguably talented author . . . one of the best horror authors of the new decade.โ ---Bloody-Disgusting.com*
"As Moodyโs Autumn series continues, itโs been about a month and a half since a virus wiped out most of humanity and turned the dead into zombiesโalthough the author doesnโt use either the word zombie or most of the familiar tropes. A small group of men and women are holed up in a block of flats, barricaded against the lumbering dead. But their uneasy safety doesnโt last, and eventually theyโre forced out into the open, where, rather coincidentally, they meet up with another band of survivors who seem to have made themselves a much more secure stronghold, until clashing personalities inside the compound threaten to put them all at risk. This is a crisply written novel (although itโs not as visceral as Moodyโs Hater series, which tackles the zombie theme from a more violent angle) with well-defined characters and a palpable sense of creeping terror: these undead might be sluggish and easy to kill, but they also seem to be a lot smarter than anyone realizes. The novel ends on a terrifying, tragic note, promising a suitably horrific finale for the series."โDavid Pitt, Booklist

He started his career working at a bank, but then decided to write the kind of fiction he loved. His first novel, Straight to You , had what Moody calls โmicroscopic sales,โ and so when he wrote Autumn, he decided to publish it online.

He lives in Britain with his wife and a houseful of daughters, which may explain his preoccupation with Armageddon.
