The future of Infected Books

David Moody talks about the future of his publishing company Infected Books - publishing great apocalyptic fiction since 2005

David Moody describes how the setting of the climax of his novel STRAIGHT TO YOU had a surprising influence on the plot.

On Saturday I wrote a piece about ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK. The movie I want to talk about today, however, is far less satisfying.

It’s hard to believe, but it’s five years today since HATER was re-released by Thomas Dunne Books in the US and Gollancz here in the UK.

My dad recently asked me why I’d rewritten STRAIGHT TO YOU. A perfectly valid question, to which I had two immediate answers...

I was in two minds as to whether I should post this. I’ve removed all the names and other identifying details to protect the innocent.

The re-written, re-edited and repackaged STRAIGHT TO YOU will be released through Infected Books on 14 February 2014.

In early 2009 when HATER was released, I spent a lot of time mooching around, wondering what people were saying about my book.

A quick post to advise that INFECTED BOOKS has been fully re-stocked and, until the end of the year, there's FREE SHIPPING on all UK orders.

Paul and I go back a fair few years now - I think we first spoke around the release of HATER in early 2009.
