Ten visions of the undead apocalypse from the author of the best-selling HATER and AUTUMN novels.
“As demonstrated throughout his previous novels, readers should crown Moody king of the zombie horror novel” —Booklist
From the first moments of an outbreak to humanity’s final gasping breath, from the centre of a sprawling metropolis to a forgotten and isolated village, LAST OF THE LIVING is a collection of stories focusing on those who’ve survived the unthinkable.
Some thrive while others disintegrate. Some fight while others capitulate. No matter how each individual survivor reacts, one thing is certain: the dead have risen, and nothing will ever be the same again.

“Moody has the power to make the most mundane and ordinary characters interesting and believable, and is reminiscent of Stephen King at his finest.” —Shadowlocked
“In his evocation of fear and unease and the speed with which he grips you, he brings to mind old Brit horror writer James Herbert. And that is some recommendation.” —London Lite
David Moody sold the film rights to his novel HATER to Mark Johnson (producer, Breaking Bad) and Guillermo Del Toro (director, The Shape of Water, Pan's Labyrinth). His seminal zombie novel AUTUMN was made into a movie starring Dexter Fletcher and David Carradine. Moody has an unhealthy fascination with the end of the world and likes to write books about ordinary folks going through absolute hell.
