Hater

David Moody’s Hater plunges ordinary people into an unnerving nightmare where neighbour turns violently against neighbour without warning or reason. Centring on Danny McCoyne, the novel examines a society rapidly unravelling as ordinary citizens transform into irrational killers, shifting the terror away from traditional monsters and onto the familiar faces down the street. The atmosphere is relentlessly tense and claustrophobic, driven by paranoia and the sudden collapse of institutional safety rather than supernatural shocks. It avoids neat explanations, focusing instead on the raw panic of surviving a world where civilization disintegrates overnight. This gritty, fast-moving descent into societal breakdown will suit readers who prefer psychological dread and visceral realism over gothic excess.
