FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
I get a lot of emails, and a lot of them ask the same things. Rather than have to wait for ages to get an answer from me (it’s like getting blood out of a stone sometimes) I’ve set up this page to answer the most common questions I get.

HATER
The HATER movie is in active development.
The series is comprised of two trilogies. The first includes HATER, DOG BLOOD and THEM OR US. The second trilogy – THE FINAL WAR – takes place in and around the first. ONE OF US WILL BE DEAD BY MORNING was followed by ALL ROADS END HERE and CHOKEHOLD. EVERYTHING AND NOTHING is a short story which acts as a prequel to DOG BLOOD. It’s available free from most eBook stores and it appears in print in THE LAST BIG THING collection.
Yes. Audio adaptations of all six novels, read by Gerard Doyle, are available. CD, MP3 CD, cassette and Playaway editions are available. You can also download them from Audible.com and iTunes. Because of rights issues, the first three audiobooks are only available in the US and Canada.

AUTUMN: THE CITY

AUTUMN: DISINTEGRATION
AUTUMN: AFTERMATH
AUTUMN: THE HUMAN CONDITION
THE LONDON TRILOGY: AUTUMN: DAWN, AUTUMN: INFERNO, AUTUMN: EXODUS
A completely separate trilogy of books which take place in the AUTUMN universe. There’s no cross-over with the original novels.
THE HUMAN CONDITION is a collection of short stories and novellas set in and around the AUTUMN world. Many of these stories are now available free via www.lastoftheliving.net. An expanded edition of the book, fully re-edited and containing an additional 40,000 words of content is now available from Infected Books.
As per the previous answers. THE HUMAN CONDITION is a collection of short stories that can be read alongside the original novels, and THE LONDON TRILOGY is a separate series set in the same AUTUMN world.
The AUTUMN movie is available on DVD in a number of different countries (listed below). You can also get the film via VOD (iTunes, Amazon.com etc.), and in the UK it’s regularly shown on the Horror Channel (Sky channel 319, Virgin 149 and Freesat 138).
France (Autumn: Fin Du Monde), Germany (Autumn of the Living Dead, re-released as – I kid you not – The Dead Walk), Greece, Holland, Russia (Ideal Virus), Thailand, UK, US.
Following the acquisition of the AUTUMN series by Thomas Dunne Books in 2008, the free download of AUTUMN was discontinued. Hey… don’t shout at me – it was available for more than 5 years and in excess of half a million people downloaded it!
AUTUMN: ECHOES was a collection of brief stories which explained the background of some of the supporting characters from the AUTUMN novels. They also formed a part of THE HUMAN CONDITION (see earlier answer). These stories and more are available free online at www.lastoftheliving.net.
AUTUMN: DAWN, AUTUMN: INFERNO, and AUTUMN: EXODUS are available now. I’m working to try and get audiobooks of the original series produced. You can still listen to Darker Projects excellent free dramatization of the first AUTUMN book. Click here to listen.
MISC
THE FRONT is a World War II zombie series conceived by Timothy W. Long and Craig DiLouie. I wrote the second book in the series, RED DEVILS.
Sorry, no. I refuse to blurb or critique anything without reading the whole piece of work, and I just don’t have the time to do that right now. Please don’t email your work to me at this moment in time. Thanks for your understand. If the position changes in future, I’ll update this answer.
Yes. Both novellas (and all of their associated short stories) are available in a paperback collection called LAST OF THE LIVING. Click here for more information.
