The Human Condition

A dystopian field guide to the end of the world from the author of AUTUMN and HATER.

Ninety-nine per cent of the population are dead, struck down by a deadly virus.

Experience the apocalypse from the perspectives of almost fifty different people who’ve survived through luck, not skill. They are a desperate cheating lovers, workshy civil servants, permanently drunk publicans, teenage rebels, obsessive accountants, failed husbands, disrobed priests, and more... The only thing they have in common is the fact they’re still alive (for now).

THE HUMAN CONDITION follows the individual stories of these desperate survivors through the nightmare of their final days and weeks.

PRAISE FOR DAVID MOODY AND THE AUTUMN

“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

“As demonstrated throughout his previous novels, readers should crown Moody king of the zombie horror novel” —BOOKLIST

“The best survival horror since Richard Matheson's I AM LEGEND.” —WAYNE SIMMONS, author of FLU

“If you only read one book this year, read AUTUMN.” —SUSPENSE MAGAZINE

“By the end of the book, you will be waiting impatiently for the next instalment.” —DREAD CENTRAL

“Moody is as imaginative as Barker, as compulsory as King, and as addictive as Palahniuk” —SCREAM MAGAZINE

“Takes the genre in a fascinating new direction. If John Wyndham was alive and writing zombie novels, they’d read like this” —JONATHAN MABERRY, best-selling author of PATIENT ZERO and ROT & RUIN
