Infected Books - home of the books of David Moody, author of the AUTUMN novels
PRESS RELEASE FROM RENEGADE MOTION PICTURE COMPANY
THE ZOMBIE PORTFOLIO
Renegade Motion Pictures sells shares of new horror movie to fans.
Toronto, ON, and Regina, SK, February 5, 2007 - Renegade Motion Pictures has acquired the rights to the popular zombie novel AUTUMN. Production begins the summer of 2007 and the Renegade has decided to sell 25% of the movie to the fans with investments starting at $20. AUTUMN, by David Moody (www.djmoody.co.uk), is the first in a series of novels about a post-apocalyptic world following a sudden viral epidemic. The series has developed a cult following on the internet and Renegade wants to give the already established fans and the future fans a chance to own part of the film, which will also include part of the film's future profits.
Director Steven Rumbelow explains that they are not just selling shares, "…we are selling packages that include shares, which are designed to be immense fun for the fans. With 75% of the film's budget being financed through traditional means, we wanted to try something new, something to involve indie audiences in a new way." He goes on to say, "Everyone involved with the production of AUTUMN is committed to the fact that this is unique and very different from your standard zombie flick. It is more about human nature and the silence following devastation rather than knocking heads off zombies. The fans of the AUTUMN books know this and I think it sets us all a little bit apart." Rumbelow is perhaps best known for his work on the paranormal series BEYOND, which is currently airing on the Space Channel in Canada. He has an extensive career with over 200 productions that includes several award-winning British feature films, about 100 music videos and his theatre work in London, New York and Chicago. He is no stranger to horror in his work as he has directed many dark and twisted adaptations of Shakespeare, James Joyce, Dostoyevsky, Stanislaw Lem (SOLARIS) and many other iconic writers in history. "The key to the atmosphere of AUTUMN is to stress the sheer psychological terror surrounding this new apocalyptic world. Zombies are only part of it. True fear resides deep within the human psyche." Incentives for investors include things like dinner with selected cast and crew or a private screening for the investor and 20 of their family and friends, again, with selected cast and crew. There is also a Party Package that gives the investor access to wrap parties and other events. Other packages include inscribed Diesel Time pieces or inscribed leather Converse. For any serious fan, these packages are great fun.
Investment packages for the movie are available not only on the Renegade website (http://www.renegademotionpictures.com/autumninvestors.htm), but also a friend to indie films Cinema Nocturna (www.cinema-nocturna.com) and AUTUMN author David Moody's site (www.djmoody.co.uk). Packages start at $20 and go up from there.

PRESS RELEASE
Zombie author unleashes a new nightmare
Birmingham, UK - 3rd August 2006 - Infected Books announces the release of 'Hater', the new novel by David Moody, author of the popular 'Autumn' living dead series.
A harrowing, violent and startlingly original vision of a not-so-distant future, 'Hater' presents a nightmare scenario. Our world is already being torn apart by people fighting each other in the name of any one of a thousand different causes, but what if the fighting began to spread like a disease? What if the violence, the anger and the bloodshed was completely unprovoked, random and extreme? In 'Hater' people turn against each other in an instant. Without warning previously rational and controlled people become vicious and brutal killers. Everyone - irrespective of race, gender, age, sexuality or any other imaginable difference - has the potential to become either a killer or a victim. You can no longer trust your friends, your family, your children, your parents or your lover. You can no longer trust yourself.
By the end of today you could be a killer. By the end of today you could be dead.
'Hater' (ISBN 0955005167) is available now from Infected Books, www.amazon.comand other retailers. To learn more about David Moody and his other novels visit www.djmoody.co.uk and the official 'Autumn' website www.theinfected.co.uk.

PRESS RELEASE
Makes 'War of the Worlds' look like a Peace Summit
Infected Books releases 'Trust' by British author David Moody - an alien invasion novel which breaks the mould. A million miles away from the action-driven Hollywood fare of War of the Worlds and Independence Day, Moody asks what would happen if the most important event in history took place in the middle of nowhere?
Birmingham, UK September 25 2005 - Infected Books releases 'Trust' by British author David Moody - an alien contact novel which breaks the mould.
A million miles away from the effects-laden, action-driven Hollywood fare of 'War of the Worlds' and 'Independence Day', in 'Trust' Moody asks what would happen if the most important and anticipated event in history took place in the middle of nowhere?
Like all of Moody's novels, 'Trust' is uncomfortably honest, tough and relentless. His characters are ordinary people and, like the rest of us, are flawed and far from perfect. There are no muscle-bound leaders, brilliant scientists or square-jawed heroes to lead mankind through this crisis. The responsibility falls to people like you and me. The author of the acclaimed 'Autumn' novels, Moody uses the familiarity of his characters and settings to make the unbelievable feel uncomfortably believable and real.
To learn more about David Moody and his other novels visit www.djmoody.co.uk and the official 'Autumn' website www.theinfected.co.uk. 'Trust' (ISBN 0-9550051-4-0) is published by Infected Books on 1 October 2005. Infected Books titles are available worldwide as eBooks and paperbacks from www.amazon.comand other leading on-line retailers.

PRESS RELEASE
Six Billion Dead by the End of the First Page
Infected Books releases 'The Human Condition' the final book in David Moody's 'Autumn' series - a series of cult horror novels which have, by word of mouth alone, already attracted hundreds of thousands of readers.
Birmingham, UK June 13 2005 - Infected Books announces the release of 'The Human Condition' the final book in David Moody's 'Autumn' series - a series of cult horror novels which have, by word of mouth alone, already attracted hundreds of thousands of readers.
Drawing comparisons with genre classics such as George Romero's 'Night of the Living Dead' and its sequels and Stephen King's 'The Stand' the 'Autumn' books tell the story of a world torn apart by a disease of unimaginable ferocity.
Appropriately enough for a book about an epidemic, the 'Autumn' series has worked its way across the Internet like a virus. With the first novel now available as a free download, Moody is encouraging readers to 'spread the infection' by downloading the book and thousands are taking up this offer every month. With four volumes now available and a screenplay in development, there's no sign yet of a cure being found for this particular plague.
Intelligent, character-driven and uncomfortably plausible, this underground success is making rapid inroads into the mainstream.
To read the first book and to learn more about David Moody and his other novels, visit www.djmoody.co.uk and the official 'Autumn' website www.theinfected.co.uk. 'Autumn: The Human Condition' (ISBN 0-9550051-3-2) is available now from Infected Books.
