Thanks – we got it. We'll review and follow up if needed.
In the spirit of THE TWILIGHT ZONE, BLACK MIRROR, and TALES FROM THE CRYPT, cult author David Moody presents eleven disturbing science-fiction, horror, thriller and suspense stories about life, death, and everything in between (and after).
What's the ultimate body modification? Are the people next door as perfect as they appear? How dead is dead? What's the true price of a clean start? What's the motive of the monster that's destroying your town? How are you going to spend the last three days before the end of the world?
From the never-ending nightmare of domestic bliss to the search for the perfect body; from messed up families to warring nations; from the last minutes before doomsday to the polluted shores of the post-post-apocalypse; THE LAST BIG THING shows how thin the line between the ordinary and extraordinary truly can be.
PRAISE FOR DAVID MOODY AND THE LAST BIG THING:
"THE LAST BIG THING is a deeply impressive and highly accomplished set of short story horror fiction, and firmly cements Moody's reputation as one of the masters of British horror writing."- SCIFI AND FANTASY REVIEWER
"A head-spinning thrill ride, a cautionary tale about the most salient emotion of the 21st century... HATER will haunt you long after you read the last page..." -GUILLERMO DEL TORO (director of PAN'S LABYRINTH, THE SHAPE OF WATER) on HATER
"Moody is as imaginative as Barker, as compulsory as King, and as addictive as Palahniuk." -SCREAM THE HORROR MAGAZINE
"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
"British horror at its absolute best." -STARBURST
David Moody
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 in the Midlands with his wife and a houseful of daughters and stepdaughters, which may explain his pre-occupation with Armageddon.
