Released today!
Straight to You by David Moody



The sun is dying. The temperature around the world is rising by the hour with no sign of any respite. At this rate the planet will soon become uninhabitable; all life extinguished. It might be weeks away, it might be days... we may only have hours remaining. Society is crumbling. The burning world is descending into chaos.

Steven Johnson's wife is hundreds of miles away and all that matters is reaching her before the end. He has to act now, no time to stop and think. Every second is precious. Tomorrow is too late.

 

"An engaging and heart-breaking read - Moody is the go-to-guy for extraordinary stories starring ordinary people" -Wayne Simmons, author of Plastic Jesus and Flu

"He brings to mind old Brit horror writer James Herbert. And that is some recommendation" -London Lite

"David Moody spins paranoia into a deliciously dark new direction" -Jonathan Maberry, author of Patient Zero and Rot and Ruin


I've acquired David's permission to share an excerpt with you!

Excerpt from Chapter 6 of Straight to You by David Moody:

    She was waiting at the door when he finally made it home. Ready to pounce. He was being unfairly harsh on her tonight, he knew he was. His defences were up, that was all. ‘You wouldn’t think I left early,’ he said, kissing her on the cheek as he went inside.

    ‘Busy out there?’

    ‘Crazy. Like you wouldn’t believe.’

    ‘I would believe it. You seen the news today?’

    ‘Haven’t had a second. Why, what’s happened?’

     ‘Climate change protest in London.’

    ‘Climate change?’ he said as he kicked off his shoes. ‘Bit late for that, isn’t it? The climate has changed.’

    ‘I know. About a hundred thousand people in the middle of the city, though, marching in this heat. It was pretty obvious it was never going to go well.’

    ‘I’ll watch the headlines in a while. I need a drink first.’

    She followed him into the kitchen. ‘Are you worried, Steve?’

    ‘Worried? What about?’ He watched her face anxiously. Had she realised something was going on at work?

    ‘About the weather.’

    He laughed. ‘I’ve got more important things to think about.’

    ‘People are starting to get really scared.’

    ‘Then they need to get their heads out of their backsides and get on with their lives. Jesus, I wish all I’d got to worry about was the bloody temperature.’

    ‘Like what?’

    ‘Eh?’

    ‘What else have you got to worry about? Come on, you never tell me anything anymore.’

    ‘It’s not interesting or important. Christ, I’ve just managed to get out of the office, the last thing I want to do is spend the weekend talking about all the shite going on there.’

    ‘Who rattled your cage?’

    ‘Sorry. Long day. Difficult day.’

    She looked hurt, not surprised by his short fuse, but disappointed all the same. She carried on regardless. ‘You should have seen it. Horrible, it was. The police had got the march route all marked out, then a bunch of the protestors decided to go another way. The police penned them in close to Trafalgar Square and had to just leave them there ’cause the place was so busy they couldn’t easily move them on. They were giving them water but there was hardly any shade. People started passing out in the heat, Steve, and then other people started panicking. Seventeen dead, they said. Some got crushed by the crowds, others were just out in the sun too long. It was vile. It was all on TV. Most of them were just kids. They were collapsing and being trampled by the others. It was horrible. There was nothing anyone could have done . . .’

About David Moody:

David Moody was born in 1970 and grew up in Birmingham, UK, on a diet of trashy horror and pulp science fiction books and movies. He worked as a bank manager and as operations manager for a number of financial institutions before giving up the day job to write about the end of the world for a living. He has written a number of horror novels, including AUTUMN, which has been downloaded more than half a million times since publication in 2001 and has spawned a series of sequels and a movie starring Dexter Fletcher and David Carradine. Film rights to HATER were snapped up by Guillermo del Toro (Hellboy, Pan's Labyrinth, Pacific Rim) and Mark Johnson (producer of Breaking Bad and the Chronicles of Narnia films). Moody lives with his wife and a houseful of daughters and stepdaughters, which may explain his pre-occupation with Armageddon.
