Strangers

A dark and dirty horror novel from the author of HATER and AUTUMN. 10TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION – now includes a bonus original STRANGERS short story EPISODE 5.

A spate of brutal murders rocks a small Scottish town. The bodies of the dead are savagely mutilated and unspeakably defiled. There are no apparent motives and no obvious connections between the victims.

Thussock is a close-knit community – a quiet, inward looking place where crimes like these never happen. People here treat outsiders with suspicion, and the killings only started when the Griffiths family arrived in town.

PRAISE FOR DAVID MOODY AND STRANGERS:

“A head-spinning thrill ride, a cautionary tale about the most salient emotion of the 21st century… HATER will haunt you long after you read the last page…” —GUILLERMO DEL TORO (director of PAN’S LABYRINTH, THE SHAPE OF WATER) on HATER

“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” —THIS IS HORROR

“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
