Hater A Novel
Hater A Novel by David Moody is a dystopian fiction published by St. Martin’s Publishing Group on April 13, 2010. This first edition spans 288 pages and is presented in English. The narrative unfolds in a society shaken by a sudden surge of violent assaults, where individuals, dubbed ‘Haters’ by the media, attack without warning, transforming ordinary people into ruthless killers. As the chaos escalates, the fear of becoming a victim or a perpetrator permeates daily life, forcing everyone to confront the unsettling reality that anyone could turn violent at any moment.
Readers will find a gripping exploration of societal breakdown and human psychology as the protagonist navigates a world where trust has eroded and survival instincts dominate. The story delves into themes of fear and violence, reflecting on how quickly normalcy can devolve into chaos. With influences from classic authors like H. G. Wells and Richard Matheson, Hater presents a chilling account of one man’s struggle in an increasingly hostile environment, where the mantra becomes “attack first, ask questions later.” This edition invites readers to ponder the implications of a world overrun by fear and hatred.
Official synopsis Publisher
Soon to be a major motion picture—produced by Guillermo del Toro and directed by J.A. Bayona
REMAIN CALM DO NOT PANIC TAKE SHELTER WAIT FOR FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS THE SITUATION IS UNDER CONTROL Society is rocked by a sudden increase in the number of violent assaults on individuals. Christened ‘Haters’ by the media, the attackers strike without warning, killing all who cross their path. The assaults are brutal, remorseless and extreme: within seconds, normally rational, self-controlled people become frenzied, vicious killers. There are no apparent links as a hundred random attacks become a thousand, then hundreds of thousands. Everyone, irrespective of gender, age, race or any other difference, has the potential to become a victim – or a Hater. People are afraid to go to work, afraid to leave their homes and, increasingly, afraid that at any moment their friends, even their closest family, could turn on them with ultra violent intent. Waking up each morning, no matter how well defended, everyone must now consider the fact that by the end of the day, they might be dead. Or perhaps worse, become a killer themselves. As the status quo shifts, ATTACK FIRST, ASK QUESTIONS LATER becomes the order of the day… only, the answers might be much different than what you expect….
In the tradition of H. G. Wells and Richard Matheson, Hater is one man’s story of his place in a world gone mad— a world infected with fear, violence, and HATE.
