A Haunting and Thought-Provoking Take on Post-Apocalyptic Survival

David Moody's Autumn offers a fresh take on the post-apocalyptic genre, focusing on the psychological toll of survival rather than traditional zombie action. Moody masterfully creates an eerie atmosphere, emphasizing the fragility of human resilience in a world turned upside down. The character-driven narrative and unique portrayal of zombies—uncanny and unpredictable rather than relentlessly aggressive—set it apart from typical stories in the genre. While the slow pace effectively builds tension, it might feel drawn out for readers expecting immediate action. Despite this, Autumn is a haunting and thought-provoking read, perfect for those who appreciate atmospheric, realistic horror.
