Are You a Hater?

Every so often I stumble upon a strange book--Hater by David Moody is one of the most disturbing ones I have read in a while! Set in an unnamed town in England, the novel begins innocently with the bored, hum-drum day of an employee in the Parking Fine Processing Office where he daily deals with visitors who are upset about receiving and/or paying for their parking violations. Unexpectedly, society is rocked by a sudden increase in the number of violent assaults on individuals. The main character begins to witness more and more violent incidents, from the member of a rock band who goes berserk at a concert, to a policeman firing random shots into a crowd of innocent bystanders. As time progresses, the reader sees that within seconds, normally rational, self-controlled people become frenzied, vicious, killers, who can't be stopped. Soon, two groups of people appear--the victims and the Haters. Which one will you become? The action of this book takes place in a week, so I suggest you take a deep breathe, open the cover and dive in. This is definitely a bizarre book with a twisting plot, but I believe it will catch you from the beginning and push you through until the climactic ending. This book was originally published online in parts, and is soon to be a major motion picture produced by Guillermo del Toro and directed by J A. Bayona.
