Good Points: A non-stop fury of violence and desperate tension that delivers a shocking and powerful tale. A very original and well written approach to the apocalyptic genre that Moody has now become a master of.
Bad Points: Not for the faint hearted....but that's not really a bad point!!!!!
General comments: Synopsis:
"Society is rocked by a sudden increase in the number of violent assaults on individuals. Christened "Haters" by the media, the attackers strike without warning. Their attacks are brutal, remorseless and extreme. There are no apparent links between the Haters or their victims and no obvious reason for their violence. In seconds rational, controlled people become vicious killers. Everyone - irrespective of race, gender, age, sexuality or any other imaginable difference - has the potential to become either a Hater or a victim. This is a terror which knows no boundaries. You can no longer trust anyone, no matter how well you think you know them. You can no longer trust yourself. By the end of today you could be a killer. By the end of today you could be dead".
From the author of the classic post-apocalyptic zombie series "Autumn", David Moody's new ultra-violent novel "Hater" is a masterpiece of dark and bloodthirsty fiction. From the very first page the reader is thrown into a downward spiral of seemingly unprovoked and extreme violence. As civilisation is slowly torn apart from the inside, fear and confusion take over.
David throws up a cloud of unnerving mystery as the reader is taken along by this unrelenting wave of violence. The novel homes in on the emotional strain and fear of everyone in the book, drawing you deep into the gripping text. With each chapter, tension builds towards a massive climax that will leave you gasping.
Possibly the most original and thought provoking take on this type of genre, David will keep you guessing throughout.
'Hater' is in my opinion David's most shocking and powerful novel to date. The novel ends ready to be taken up by the sequel 'Dog Blood' which I am already eagerly anticipating.
If you're a fan of Matheson's 'I Am Legend', Romero's 'Dead' series, or indeed any post-apocalyptic fiction, then this is a new and original approach to the genre that you'll love from the very start. But be warned, this book is an aggressive piece of fiction!
'Hater' was released on the 17th July 2006, and is available through David's website (www.infectedbooks.co.uk) as well as all good book retailers.
Let the war begin
