A dark and dirty horror novel from the author ofย HATERย andย AUTUMN
A spate of brutal murders rocks the small Scottish town of Thussock. The bodies of the dead are savagely mutilated and unspeakably defiled. There are no apparent motives and no obvious connections between the victims.
Thussock is a close community โ a quiet, inward looking place where crimes like this NEVER happen. People treat new arrivals with caution, and the killings only started when the Griffiths family arrived in town.
Under suspicion and under threat, can Scott Griffiths uncover the bloody truth before itโs too late?
PRAISE FOR DAVID MOODY AND STRANGERS:
โA head-spinning thrill ride, a cautionary tale about the most salient emotion of the 21st centuryโฆย HATERย will haunt you long after you read the last pageโฆโ โGUILLERMO DEL TORO (director of PANโS LABYRINTH, THE SHAPE OF WATER) on HATER
โSTRANGERS is easily Moodyโs best work to date, a dark, disturbing and visceral book that gives him a legitimate claim to the title of Britainโs Best Living Horror Authorโ โTHIS IS HORROR
โIn his evocation of fear and unease and the speed with which he grips you, he brings to mind old Brit horror writer James Herbert. And that is some recommendation.โ โLONDON LITE
โMoody has the power to make the most mundane and ordinary characters interesting and believable and is reminiscent of Stephen King at his finest.โ โSHADOWLOCKED
"Moody is as imaginative as Barker, as compulsory as King, and as addictive as Palahniuk." โSCREAM THE HORROR MAGAZINE
David Moody sold the film rights to his novel HATER to Mark Johnson (producer, Breaking Bad) and Guillermo Del Toro (director, The Shape of Water, Pan's Labyrinth). His seminal zombie novel AUTUMN was made into a movie starring Dexter Fletcher and David Carradine. Moody has an unhealthy fascination with the end of the world and likes to write books about ordinary folks going through absolute hell.
