Why read it?

2 authors picked Hater as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I’m recommending this book because of its subject matter. A virus. After what’s happened in the world recently with Covid, why not believe this could happen? A disease that makes you think someone is trying to kill you, so you have to kill them first. It’s similar to being paranoid. The author of this book has written a few sequels that follow the main character’s journey. A journey that took the person from working a normal day to thinking people were now the enemy. 

From Lee's list on horror that should be movies.

This is the novel that inspired me to write my own novels. It’s a wild concept, where a percentage of the population is suddenly overcome by hate. They become Haters, with a driving need to kill anyone who’s not a Hater, who they can identify just by seeing their eyes. Moody takes this idea and grounds it in Danny, a man who’s incredibly human and frustrated with his life. I’ve never before read a book about such a normal person in such an insane predicament. Danny’s not a hero, he’s just doing his best.

From Kristal's list on featuring plagues.
