Gangs of London meets Pet Sematary in a brutal new body horror novel from the author of HATER (optioned for film by Guillermo del Toro).

When Kemberton was four, he witnessed something horrifying. He hasn't spoken since.

Life moves on, but not for him. Several years have passed, and he's struggling to keep up. The gulf between him and the rest of the world is widening. He's in real danger of falling through the gaps.

He needs support, but he's getting the complete opposite. Aiden - his stepdad - is playing with fire. He's a low-level racketeer, with ideas way above his station. He's got himself involved with people he really has no business messing with, and if things go wrong, they're going to really go wrong. Aiden can't afford for there to be any complications right now, and Kemberton's increasing unpredictability is proving to be a concern.

With everything on the line and the odds increasingly stacked against him, how far is Aiden prepared to go to stay in control? And who'll be left to pay the price?

What Kemberton witnessed all those years ago was awful. What's going to happen next could be even worse.

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.
