Whilst trying to decide what their next step should be an odd thing happens, some of the corpses begin to move at first wandering aimlessly but with each passing day they seem to be getting more self aware and through the sheer numbers pose a threat. These survivors are spread far and wide and as they wander through the decimated landscape, start to gel together in groups. Strangely though, there does seem to be the odd few that are immune to the disease. All across the country there are homes, work places and public areas where people are dropping like flies. The unlucky individual has a very gory end that involves plenty of blood and pain. If you approach it wanting some gritty drama or in depth plot then you will probably be disappointed, but if you are looking for some escapism into a cataclysmic world full of death and gore you will love it.So what’s it about? A deadly virus has struck the USA (maybe the world) that causes death within a few minutes. I suppose that it will depend what you are expecting to get from the read. Looking at the other reviews this seems to be very much a love it or hate it book with many ratings from the extremes of both sides. But when looking through a second hand book store I came across ‘Autumn’ and thought I would give it a try. The last I read was ‘Night of the Living Dead’ and thought it a really awful read. Autumn - David Moody *****Although I have never really been a huge fan of the zombie/b movie type of book, I do like to dip into one now and again.
