David Moody


UK flag (b.1970)

David Moody was born and grew up in Birmingham 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 have been bought by Guillermo del Toro (Hellboy, Pan's Labyrinth) and Mark Johnson (producer of the Chronicles of Narnia films). Moody lives outside Birmingham with his wife and a houseful of daughters and stepdaughters, which may explain his pre-occupation with Armageddon.

David Moody recommends
thumb
The Children of Red Peak (2020)
Craig DiLouie
"DiLouie really knows how to simultaneously shatter nerves and break hearts. The Children of Red Peak is a genuinely unsettling psychological horror novel, a story where faith and fear combine to destroy innocence and devastate lives. Intense, compulsive, thought-provoking, and highly recommended."
thumb
The Man From Taured (2020)
(World's Scariest Legends, book 3)
Jeremy Bates
"An ice-cold thriller full of mystery, suspense, fear."
thumb
The Chrysalis (2018)
Brendan Deneen
"Compelling."
