Publisher Description

The Earth has been torn apart. Everyone is either Human or Hater. Victim or killer. Major cities have become vast refugee camps where human survivors cower together in fear. Amidst this indiscriminate fighting and killing, Danny McCoyne is on a mission to find his daughter, Ellis. Free of inhibitions, unrestricted by memories of the previous world, and driven by instinct, children are pure Haters, and might well be the deciding factor in the future of the Hater race. But as McCoyne makes his way into the heart of human territory, an incident on the battlefield sets in place an unexpected chain of events, forcing him to question everything he believes he knows about the new order that has arisen, and the dynamic of the Hate itself.

"Terrifyingly amazing! It's creepy, gory, violent, funny & sometimes relate-able which makes it scary. The world is split in two - Haters & The Unchanged - both fighting for their lives. It's crazy cause you see how they are similar in that regard. "

— Sammee (4 out of 5 stars)

Quotes

  • “If Moody’s Hater books follow the familiar zombie story of civilization rent to tatters by mindless, bloodthirsty former humans, they turn it on its ear by speaking with the voice of one of the zombies rather than one of their victims. Readers have seen a pre-Hater Danny head off to his dead-end job, get frustrated with his kids and engage in other everyday activities. That, along with Moody’s spare prose, makes the book’s scenes of brutal violence all the more affecting. Lean, relentless and terrifying.”

    " Just couldn't stomach the senseless, cold violence. Way too much for me. Maybe if I'd managed to get a bit further into it things might have got better but I decided it just wasn't worth the effort for me. "

    " An innovative twist on the Zombie Genre. Set in the UK in the near future, it tells the story of how, in one instant, the world's population is randomly divided between 'The Haters', and 'The Unchanged'. 'Haters' are filled with an all consuming rage, and must kill any of 'The Unchanged' within reach. What makes this tale different is that the story is told primarily from the point of view of a 'Hater'. Dan McCoyne is desperately trying to locate his five year old daughter who became a 'Hater' like him. The novel is kind of a 'road picture' through the devastation of a world in transition. The book has been optioned by the director of PAN'S LABYRINTH and should make a dandy feature film. Maybe I've been reading too many books about American politics, but it certainly reminds me of our Blue State vs. Red State dichotomy in this country. "

    " While I found this to be a fantastic follow up to Hater, Dog Blood wasn't quite up to the same level as its predecessor. This is most likely due to my personal interest in the "origin story" part of a series. The book is a fast read, and an intelligent horror tale. Dog Blood continues to follow Danny and his fellow Haters, but Danny is beginning to have questions about the future after the war with the Unchanged is finished. I like the added depth that Danny's view adds to the narrative, making him stand out from the rest of his kind. Looking forward to the third (and supposedly final) installation of this addicting series. "

    " Not much better than Hater, Dog Blood WAS more interesting. Still no characters with which I could identify. The main character sometimes becomes sympathetic, but usually he's just despicable and I'm only reading in hopes the third book will be better. "
