Ninety-nine per cent of the population are dead, struck down by a deadly virus.
Experience the apocalypse from the perspectives of almost fifty different people whoโve survived through luck, not skill. They are a desperate bunch: cheating lovers, workshy civil servants, permanently drunk publicans, teenage rebels, obsessive accountants, failed husbands, disrobed priests, and more... The only thing they have in common is the fact theyโre still alive (for now).
AUTUMN: THE HUMAN CONDITIONย follows the individual stories of these desperate survivors through the nightmare of their final days and weeks.

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.
