Description:

A dark and dirty horror novel from David Moody, author of HATER and AUTUMN

A spate of brutal murders occur in and around the small town of Thussock. The bodies of the dead – savagely mutilated, unspeakably defiled – are piling up with terrifying speed. There are no apparent motives and no obvious connections between the victims, but the killings only began when Scott Griffiths and his family arrived in Thussock...

“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

“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

"Moody is as imaginative as Barker, as compulsory as King, and as addictive as Palahniuk." —Scream the Horror Magazine **

Review

"I can't stress enough how utterly captivating Strangers is.  It's addictive reading from start to finish.  And it proves once and for all that there's a hell of a lot more to Moody than the end of the world. 10/10" -- DLS Reviews

"a well-paced, well-constructed slice of modern British horror... for the discerning reader of nasty novels, this is a must." -- Starburst

"If you love a story that gets into the darkness of the human soul, you will love  Strangers." -- 2BookLoversReviews

"As anyone who reads Moody's stories will tell you, a real strength in his writing is his masterful way of taking what seem like ordinary people and thrusting them into shocking situations, with crisp dialogue and an ability to depict believable and realistic human interaction and reactions in these circumstances. This as well as a disturbing plot and setting Moody creates a highly believable and all the more terrifying story. Highly recommended." -- BookBloke

" Strangers  is easily Moody's best work to date, a dark, disturbing and visceral book that gives him a legitimate claim to the title of Britain's Best Living Horror Author that was left vacant by James Herbert's untimely death last year." -- This is Horror
