Animated by phase two of some unknown contagion, the dead begin to rise. At first slow, blind, dumb and lumbering, the bodies soon regain their most basic senses and abilities--sight, hearing, locomotion--as well as the instinct toward aggression and violence. Held back only by the restraints of their rapidly decomposing flesh, the dead seem to have only one single goal--to lumber forth and destroy the sole remaining attraction in the silent, lifeless world: those who have survived the plague, who now find themselves outnumbered 1,000,000 to 1... \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eAutumn: Purification\u003c\/i\u003e, the heroes from the original \u003ci\u003eAutumn \u003c\/i\u003enovel and \u003ci\u003eAutumn: The City \u003c\/i\u003ework together to survive in this horrifying new world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWithout ever using the 'Z' word, the Autumn series offers a new perspective on the traditional zombie story.

He grew up in Birmingham, England, on a diet of horror movies and post-apocalyptic fiction. He started his career working at a bank, but then decided to write the kind of fiction he loved. His first novel, \u003ci\u003eStraight to You\u003c\/i\u003e, had what Moody calls microscopic sales, and so when he wrote Autumn, he decided to publish it online. The book became a sensation and has been downloaded by half a million readers. He started his own publishing company, Infected Books. He lives in Britain with his wife and a houseful of daughters, which may explain his preoccupation with Armageddon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"St. Martin's Griffin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40364696109171,"sku":"9.78031E+12","price":22.62,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_9ed2eb8c-b960-4927-b572-4e2797a0fb9f.jpg?v=1660665029","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/autumn-purification-purification-9780312569990","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
