Strangers: A dark and dirty horror novel

A dark and dirty horror novel from the author of HATER and AUTUMN. 10TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION – now includes a bonus original STRANGERS short story EPISODE 5.A spate of brutal murders rocks a small Scottish town. 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-knit community – a quiet, inward looking place where crimes like these never happen. People here treat outsiders with suspicion, and the killings only started when the Griffiths family arrived in town.THERE’S EITHER A SERIAL KILLER PREYING ON THE PEOPLE OF THUSSOCK, OR SOMETHING FAR WORSEPRAISE FOR DAVID MOODY AND STRANGERS:“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“STRANGERS is easily Moody’s best work to date, a dark, disturbing and visceral book that gives him a legitimate claim to the title of Britain’s Best Living Horror Author” —THIS IS HORROR“In 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.” —LONDON LITE“Moody has the power to make the most mundane and ordinary characters interesting and believable and is reminiscent of Stephen King at his finest.” —SHADOWLOCKED"Moody is as imaginative as Barker, as compulsory as King, and as addictive as Palahniuk." —SCREAM THE HORROR MAGAZINE

About the Author

DAVID MOODY first released HATER in 2006 and, without an agent, sold the film rights for the novel to Mark Johnson (producer, Breaking Bad) and Guillermo Del Toro (director, The Shape of Water, Pan's Labyrinth). Moody's seminal zombie novel AUTUMN was made into an (admittedly terrible) movie starring Dexter Fletcher and David Carradine. He has an unhealthy fascination with the end of the world and likes to write books about ordinary folks going through absolute hell. With the publication of a new series of Autumn and Hater stories, Moody has furthered his reputation as a writer of suspense-laced SF/horror, and "farther out" genre books of all description.
