Product Description
Review
A brilliant, post-apocalyptic romp of a book that manages to ask big questions about the nature of humanity. Moody delivers plenty of blood and guts, but its the ideas that really pack a punch. A book that thrills on every level. (Doug Johnstone THE BIG ISSUE )
As with Hater, Moody deals with larger themes - notably here, how far will a parent defend the indefensible actions of their child? - within the tropes of a post-apocalyptic novel, elevating it above the multitude of such books currently on the shelves. The final part of the trilogy can't come soon enough. Another bleak and powerfully uncomfortable journey for the reader." (TOTAL SCI FI )
What it does redefine is just how utterly ruthless and downright vile one human being can be to another on the written page. Moody knows only too well that when a line is drawn between life and death people will do whatever they can to stay on the right side of that line. The results are displayed in a language that is all the more brutal for its simplicity. Moody tells it like it is, the scale and nature of his apocalypse deserves no less. A worthy successor to 'Hater' (GRAEME'S FANTASY BOOK REVIEW )

A great follow up to Haters. I bought them together, while I was waiting for Autumn to be available again. I read them back-to-back as I couldn't wait to find out what happened in book number 2.
The books ARE disturbing, and they do 'stay with you' after you've read them, but this is a compliment to David Moody, not a criticism! I agree with the other reviewers who have suggested not reading Dog Blood without first reading Haters.
It's actually lovely to have 'English' books like this - I think that being set in England makes this book all the more frightening.

Well just finished reading both Hater and Dog Blood back to back - excellent reading. They were so gripping that I just couldn't put them down. I now feel like something is missing...... When's the next one coming please?

Format:Paperback
Following on from Hater's fast and furious not-quite-a-zombie action tale, Dog Blood follows the same character as he tries to unite himself with his daughter. The country has descended further in to chaos as the Unchanged up the ante against the Haters and what could have been simply rinse and repeat (like the Autumn series) has an interesting quirk. Midpoint, by which point nothing has really happened, Dog Blood turns in to a scenario more akin to the military genre, where the concept (although never directly correlated) of Hater-terrorism emerges. The concept of sleeper cells in a 'zombie' novel is very astute of the author and although it never realises itself with any tension or memorable moments it is enough to save the novel. A shallow read with some interesting moments where Moody shows courage to break free from the pack.

Second of a trilogy

Not as good as the first one
Clearly the in between book of the trilogy not a bad read but not living up to the first book.
Still awaiting the last book though, hope this will be as good as the first.
