'Autumn' by David Moody is brilliant, thought-provoking and terrifying. The excellence of this story lies not in the shambling zombies populating a ruined world, but the desperate survivors trying to stay alive and the implicatons of their survival. Yes, some have survived, but the aftermath of the event which kills nearly every human on the planet is just as bad for the (un)lucky survivors. The first of a stunning series, this is raw apocolyptic fiction at its best.
Grim, unsettling and thrilling.
