Editorial Review:
In less than twenty-four hours a vicious and virulent disease destroys virtually all of the population. Billions are killed. Thousands die every second. There are no symptoms and no warnings. Within moments of infection each victim suffers a violent and agonizing death. Only a handful of survivors remain. By the end of the first day those survivors wish they were dead. Then the disease strikes again, and all hell breaks loose... The classic free underground novel finally bursts into the mainstream. Cold, dark, relentless and uncomfortably plausible. A Night of the Living Dead for the 21st Century. "the perfect zombie story" "nothing written in the genre has grabbed me in the same way as AUTUMN" "an equal to Romero's Night of the Living Dead"

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Good zombie story in Britian.
Interesting story with the evolution of the zombies. It's drawback is that it's very slow in parts.

This was my first taste of Mr. Moody's writting. I am now a devout fan of his books. This is a book that should not be passed up by people who like zombie/apocolyptic books.
Rating:  - A Psychological Approach to the Zombie Apocalypse
David Moody's novel Autumn is a realistic account of the emotional upheaval and responses that might plague the people who survive a quick-acting pandemic, and who must then struggle for survival against those who have risen after having fallen dead.
The dread from Moody's work is not the horror of blood and guts, but the slow, creeping psychological terror that must accompany being trapped within a structure while becoming increasingly surrounded on the outside by creatures that would ... Read More
Rating:  - hmmm...not so much
I wanted to like this book; I can even admire the guy's tenacity and willingness to break the bounds of the genre. I don't have to have gore and violence in my reading.
But I do require two things: (1) Plot and (2) Good Writing.
In "typical" zombie books the plot is survival in the face of a terrifying, unfeeling enemy. But while the enemy in this book is unfeeling for certain, they're certainly not that terrifying (other than the whole rotting away aspect, but that's more ... Read More
Rating:  - Worth every penny
Very slow, predictable story. Barely gets going by the end of this first volume - presumably free to get you hooked into the following ones. About a fourth of the way in I found myself skimming through it, looking for some action, and actually rooting for one of the whiny, petty main characters to be done in.
I highly recommend the chilling and far more original "World War Z" over this.
