Autumn

Autumn Series, Book 1

De: David Moody

Narrado por: Aubrey Parsons

The first book in David Moody's epic Autumn zombie series — available in audio for the first time. Contains bonus short stories not included in the original release.

In less than twenty-four hours a vicious viral epidemic destroys virtually all of the population. Billions are killed. There are no symptoms and no warnings; within moments of infection each victim suffers a violent and agonising death. Only a handful of survivors remain. And then, animated by "phase two" of the contagion, the dead begin to rise. At first slow, blind, dumb and lumbering, the bodies soon regain their most basic senses and abilities... sight, hearing, locomotion...

As well as the instinct toward aggression and violence.

Held back only by the restraints of their rapidly decomposing flesh, the dead have only one single goal — to destroy the sole remaining attraction in the silent, lifeless world: those who have survived.

Without ever using the 'Z' word, Autumn offers a new perspective on the traditional zombie story. There's no flesh eating, no fast-moving corpses, no gore for gore's sake. Combining the atmosphere and tone of George Romero's classic living dead films with the attitude and awareness of 28 Days (and Years) Later, this horrifying novel is filled with relentless cold, dark fear.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“The best survival horror since Richard Matheson’s I Am Legend.” —Wayne Simmons, author of Flu and Plastic Jesus

“With Autumn, David Moody paints a picture of a marvellously bleak dystopian future where the world belongs to the hungry dead. It's the creepy start to a compelling series.” —Jonathan Maberry, multiple Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Patient Zero

“Autumn is genuinely creepy, an atmospheric study of what happens when the dead come back — and what we have to do just to survive.” —David Wellington, author of Monster Island
