I thought WE BURY THE DEAD was a good film, but not a great one. A whole that's less than the sum of its dismembered parts. My thoughts are here. What did you think?

Artwork from the 2009 Gollancz UK edition of Hater by David Moody, showing a man's screaming face, as if it has been drawn in blood.

Artwork from the 2009 Gollancz UK edition of Hater by David Moody, showing a man's screaming face, as if it has been drawn in blood.

Remember this artwork? It's from the Gollancz edition of HATER, and I think it still looks fresh and fierce, as if it's freshly bled.

I'm planning a 20th anniversary edition of the book. Can you help me?

New issue of SCREAM has arrived. Sure, it’s got features on the original IT miniseries, Frankenstein Created Women, The Bride, and The Craft, but I’m heading straight for the piece on PSYCHOMANIA – one of the oddest films I’ve ever seen (streaming free on @plex.tv by the way).

I'm hoping to be able to produce a limited edition of HATER to mark the 20th anniversary of the original Infected Books release. Can you help me by answering a few questions? You'll be entered into a draw to win the first copy if you do!

Did you know the great online, indie author and retailer supporting book seller BOOKSHOP now also sells indie eBooks? It's an excellent alternative if you're trying to avoid using huge corporations to get your book fix.

I hate the fact it's been almost two years since my last novel release. I've posted a long overdue writing update on my site, with a currently planned publication schedule.

Lots to come. Thanks for your patience!

File under frustrating. I loved writing Shadowlocked, and it got some great feedback. I just haven't been able to find the right audience for it yet. It's a very different Moody novel, and I'm very proud of it.

Yes! You’re right. The end is jarring first time, but less so on subsequent viewings.

Your regular reminder that if you’re looking for a character driven, UK-based, apocalyptic series – with the first book available free – then AUTUMN: THE LONDON TRILOGY should float your boat.

The Valueless Presidency America is no longer Europe's ally. Stop bleating about NATO. It's already gone.

Trump sincerely believes Norway stole β€œhis” Nobel Peace Prize.

That isn’t a joke. It’s the key to understanding his second presidency.

We have to drop the self-delusion, over-intellectualisation and listen to him. America is no longer Europe’s ally.

A priceless review from the archives:

β€œThe ending of your book β€œTrust” is trash. It makes me assume you’re lazy or lack imagination. Wanker.”

Revenge - David Moody You've no doubt seen THE SUBSTANCE, but have you watched director Coralie Fargeat's debut feature, REVENGE? You really should.
