*Full disclosure: a novel version of the book was provided by David Moody for review.
Author: David Moody.
Autumn is writer David Moody's second book written, with Straight to You his first. Autumn was available online in 2001 and this format led to the novel being downloaded over a half million times (Moody). This zombie styled book has infected other pages. Currently, Autumn: The City is the sequel to this book and Autumn: Purification closed out the trilogy. The undead hordes spread with a companion novel titled Autumn: The Human Condition and two more novels are being written as part of this post-apocalyptic series.
