David Moody releases a new zombie novel - THE FRONT: RED DEVILS. World War II Nazi zombies... what's not to like?

From Moody's site:

My new book, THE FRONT: RED DEVILS will be released on 15 February from Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.ca, Amazon.de and others. Signed paperbacks are available from www.infectedbooks.co.uk.

The book's a sequel to TIMOTHY W. LONG's book, SCREAMING EAGLES, and though it's not necessary to have read Tim's first book, I recommend you do (because it's brilliant). Here's the synopsis for RED DEVILS:

THE UNDEAD NAZI ARMY CONTINUES ITS MARCH ACROSS EUROPE IN THE THRILLING SEQUEL TO SCREAMING EAGLES!

The German stranglehold on the town of Bastogne has been released, only for the living dead to rise up and take their place. A ragtag group of men fight their way out of the chaos and make a frantic escape from the rubble and ruin. One of them, British soldier Lieutenant Robert Wilkins, uncovers crucial information about the source of the zombie scourge. Along with a crack team, Wilkins is dispatched to where the outbreak began - the ominously silent concentration camp at Polonezköy, Poland - to try and find a way to halt the undead advance. The fate of the entire world rests on the shoulders of just a handful of men.

I love the book of course, but this movie version surpassed my low expectations, you will get something out of this for sure if you have read Autumn.

A top tier zombie anthology.

This is one of those books that leaves you with the nagging question, “Could I have done anything different? If the shit hit the fan, could I survive?”

David Moody announces the release of ISOLATION - a brand new zombie novella, which comes bundled with four additional zombie short stories.

Keith’s in his early twenties. No girlfriend, no hobbies, no future. He spends his days working in an office and his evenings, weekends and just about all his free time looking after his alcoholic dad.

And then the zombie apocalypse changes everything.

Suddenly Keith’s free. For the first time in a long time, he’s got nothing to worry about (apart from several hundred thousand reanimated corpses heading his way). But then he meets Anna, and everything changes again. Cocky, cool, confident... she’s everything Keith isn’t.

Holed-up together in an isolated bungalow, besieged by the living dead, will they survive, or will they tear each other apart before the dead can get anywhere near?

David Moody announces the release of THE COST OF LIVING - a brand new zombie novella.

More from Moody:

I know I've been quiet again recently - much going on, not all writing-related. Anyway, I'm very pleased today to announce a surprise release. I've gone back to zombies and the end of the world for THE COST OF LIVING - an ebook-only novella (hopefully the first of many) which is now available from Amazon worldwide for $1.99 (links below). I combined everything I've learnt about writing apocalyptic zombie stories with everything I've learnt about creating real, believable characters, and I'm thrilled with the result.

The world is dying. An abhorrent epidemic is sweeping the globe, destroying everything it touches. Contact with even a single drop of contaminated blood or saliva is enough to spread the disease. Within hours even the healthiest people are transformed into hideous, germ-spewing creatures. They hunt out the uninfected in their tens of thousands, their sole purpose to continue spreading the infection.

On a recently-built housing development on the outskirts of a large city, one man will stop at nothing to protect his family from the coming storm. Stuart has been one step ahead of the game from the beginning. His garage is stocked high with supplies, the doors and windows of his home fortified, weapons held ready in case of attack. With each passing minute, there are more infected surrounding the house. With each passing minute, Stuart and his family have less food and water available. Some time very soon, the balance will shift.

But Stuart won’t stop give up on his family, no matter what the cost.

Enormous thanks to my good pal David Shires of www.theimagedesigns.com for the cover art. More about David coming soon!

As the first book in the series Autumn could easily be dismissed as simply a scene setter for bigger things, but that’s not the case here. Moody has built a slow burning apocalypse story that maintains a constant hum of tension and fear throughout. By eschewing many of the usual tropes of the zombie genre he has created something both different and exciting, and this is a series that should only get better as it develops.

I adore the Autumn books for the reasons that they are great books, well written, and do some really interesting spins on the traditional brain hungry zombie tales. As always if you have not yet read them then they are well worth reading.

The limited edition of AUTUMN: AFTERMATH (published by Infected Books in collaboration with Gollancz) is now available. From David Moody:

"Welcome to my office, which became noticeably smaller yesterday following the delivery (at long last) of the limited hardcover edition of AUTUMN: AFTERMATH, published by Infected Books in collaboration with Gollancz. Nine hours (yes, really) of signing and packing and the whole lot was delivered to a very understanding chap at the post office late last night. All orders have now been dispatched, and I wanted to take this opportunity to once again thank everyone who pre-ordered the book for their support and their patience. As you can see, the full set of UK hardcovers looks great. It's satisfying to see all the books together (albeit almost a year and a half later than planned). There are a handful of copies of this extremely limited edition available. If you want one, you can pick one up from www.infectedbooks.co.uk or ebay."

Where the previous books showed what would happen to normal folk in a zombie apocalypse Disintegration shows what people on the lower side of the human spectrum would do. People who appear to have low intelligence, who bicker and fight constantly, but ones who are brave and not afraid to act. It all makes for a far more interesting story, and the best so far in the Autumn series.

The limited edition Infected Books/Gollancz hardcover of AUTUMN: AFTERMATH is now available to pre-order. Order before 10th January and your name will appear in the book.

Should you despair when you reach the end of Autumn, fear not, because this is just the first in a series of five Autumn books, as well as the movie starring Dexter Fletcher and David Carradine.  And I for one am grateful that this is not a ridiculous comedic tale ofShaun of the Dead proportions, but is actually a story of ordinary people running for their lives from an extraordinary situation.

David Moody has today revealed the cover art (by Craig Paton) for the new edition of Autumn: The Human Condition. From Moody's website:

"I'll just let the image do the talking. Here's Craig Paton's magnificent cover design for the new edition of AUTUMN: THE HUMAN CONDITION.

After my update last Friday, I'm hearing that the AUTUMN: AFTERMATH limited edition might be nearer to production than expected, so I'm holding off releasing any more details about either book just yet. I'd rather they were launched together, so folks can order both and benefit from reduced shipping costs etc.

Please add your name to the limited editions mailing list (click here) to be advised the moment orders open for these books. The hardcovers will be strictly limited in number, and I don't want you to miss out.

I hope you like this new cover as much as I do. Another stunning piece of work from Craig. Stay tuned for more information in the coming days, including the announcement of the biggest competition I've yet put together - a fitting way to bring the AUTUMN series to a close."

David Moody has announced the publication of a definitive, expanded version of AUTUMN: THE HUMAN CONDITION - the final word in the AUTUMN series. Available in print for the first time since 2008, the book will come as a limited edition hardcover, trade paperback and eBook. Click here to register your interest.

"The human race is finished. Mankind is all but dead and only a handful of frightened individuals remain. Experience the end of the world from more than forty different perspectives. These people have survived through chance, not skill, and they are a desperate bunch; cheating lovers, work-shy civil servants, permanently drunk publicans, teenage rebels, obsessive accountants, failed husbands, first-time cross-dressers, disrobed priests and more. Part-companion, part-guide book and part-sequel, AUTUMN: THE HUMAN CONDITION follows the individual stories of these desperate survivors through the early days of the nightmare and beyond."

Well, Moody contrives a story where this choice gets about as complicated as possible. It’s patiently paced, but never once drags, so I had plenty of time to get to know father and son and grow to care about them and worry for their situation. So, when the peril really arrived, I was chewing the inside of my mouth as I read. I honestly did not know which way the choice ought to go, or what I would do if faced with the same situation (I think I do know now). And even though I think the choice that was made was the only human one possible, its consequences are suitably dire.

David Moody has posted an important announcement about the hardcover edition of Aftermath.

"I promised you some news about the AUTUMN: AFTERMATH UK hardcover, and here it is.

First, a little background information. As you know, the publishing industry is changing rapidly, almost by the day. What was economically viable last month, may not be today. Also, here in the UK, many public libraries are closing or reducing the service they offer.

So what's all this got to do with the publication of the final AUTUMN book? Quite simply, the market for hardcover editions has vastly reduced. In light of this and other factors, Gollancz has reviewed its policy towards producing hardcovers, and the decision has been taken not to release them for many new books. Can you see where this is going? The team at Gollancz has, regrettably, decided not to publish the AFTERMATH hardcover.

But wait! The folks at Gollancz are great people, and I run a (very) small publishing company, so between us we've come up with a solution, and I think you'll like it.

In early 2013, the UK hardcover edition of AUTUMN: AFTERMATH will be published by Infected Books.

I'm really excited about this - it feels very right. The Infected Books edition will (hopefully) match the look and feel of the previous hardcovers, so will complete the set nicely. Pricing and ordering details etc. will be announced shortly. I can't say much else right now, but I guess the major difference I need to make you aware of is that this will be a limited (signed and numbered) edition. I want everyone to be able to get hold of the book, so I'm opening up a mailing list solely for announcements about the release. If you're interested, please visit this page and add your email with absolutely no obligation.

Finally, if you pre-ordered the Gollancz hardcover and have been waiting expectantly - I'm sorry. Please cancel your orders and hold tight. Alternatively, if you can't wait and you want to read the book now, the trade paperback is available from the following: Amazon / Book Depository / Waterstones, and the eBook is available in all the usual formats: Kindle / iBook / ePub / Kobo."

An utterly epic series of books.

A new story has been added to www.lastoftheliving.net today. Kieran Cope is a key character you'll meet in AUTUMN: AFTERMATH, and he's based on a real person. The real Kieran Cope won an auction to appear in the book.

‘Autumn’ is one of the finest novels in the apocalyptic/post-apocalyptic genre. Ever.

Just because these zombies don’t seem threatening in the beginning (when they’re blind, dumb and lumbering around aimlessly) doesn’t mean that the world of Autumn isn’t terrifying—because it most definitely is.

Read the full review.

To conclude...This book began well...maintained, indeed, accelerated interest throughout...and provided a powerful ending that left this particular reader not only eager for the next book in the series...but with a bit of a nervous twitch...(always a good sign).

In short, my advice to genre fans is simple. Get involved with the Autumn series as soon as possible. You won’t regret it.

David Moody posted the following announcement on his website today:

"I promised to tell you about two new projects this week: here's the first. Many of you will already know about This is Horror - an excellent website which, in its short existence, has developed a large following and a reputation for being a key resource for finding out about all things horror. The founders of the site have plenty of enthusiasm and ambition, and are about to branch out into a new venture: the This is Horror Premium Chapbook series. These chapbooks will be released every quarter and will showcase original stories from (in TiH's words) "some of the very best names in the genre today".

I'm honoured to have been asked to contribute a story, and I'm very pleased to announce that my piece - Joe and Me - will be the launch title.

I don't want to say too much at the present time, I'll just give you the salient facts: the chapbooks will be strictly limited to 500 copies, and Joe and Me will be launched in early June (with a launch event to take place in Warwick later in the month). Pricing, subscription and ordering details will be made available very shortly, but for now you can find out more by visiting this page over at www.thisishorror.co.uk. My story will be followed later this year by tales from Conrad Williams, Joseph D'Lacey, and a collaborative story from Gary McMahon and Simon Bestwick.

So what's Joe and Me about? Well again, I won't give too much away at this stage, I'll just say that if you have even a passing interest in the AUTUMN series, you might want to check it out!"

Another excellent novel in a fantastic series and a must for any Zombie fans.
