Okay, so the book is still more than 6 months away, but it’s up for pre-order on Amazon.co.uk
Picking up three months after the end of the first book, DOG BLOOD follows Danny McCoyne as he fights through what’s left of the bizarre, brutal, violent and seriously screwed-up remains of the post-HATER world. Here’s a summary from Gollancz (which you shouldn’t read if you haven’t read HATER):
“The world has suffered a catastrophe of unknown cause, dividing humankind into two: the Haters and the Unchanged. Each group believes the other to be the enemy; each group is fighting for survival. Only by working together can the enemy – whoever that enemy is – be defeated. There are no other choices. Danny McCoyne has managed to break free, and after days of indiscriminate fighting and killing, he is determined to make his way home, to recalim the only thing of any value to him in this strange new world: his daughter Ellis. Unlike his wife and son, Ellis is like him, and he knows, in his heart of hearts, that she is not dead. His dearest wish is for Ellis to be fighting for the world at his side – but Danny soon discovers his daughter is worth far more than just another fighting body. Others like him have discovered that children are absolutely vital to the cause. They are strong, small, fast, and they have no inhibitions. They are pure Haters…”
Watch this space – there’s more to come early in the new year including some free fiction to span the gap between the two books and, to mark the release of DOG BLOOD and the US mass-market paperback of HATER, an ‘interesting’ competition! More soon.

I can't wait. Ibet Dog Blood will be even more traumatic, brilliant and haunting as Hater. Excited about this book. (",)
WOW I love the cover! You have me drooling like a rabid dog wanting to finally get my teeth into this book! Go Dave!
The cover looks great. Can’t wait for the free fiction and the release of the book :)
Very exciting stuff!!
Now THATs what I’m talking about. Can’t wait for this one!
A couple of questions, but only if you have time to answer them.
Will it be available through infected books, and if so, would you be selling some signed copies.
Are you planning on doing a book signing tour with Dogblood. Only, I know of a great leisure centre in the heart of Chichester. And as the newly appointed sales advisor I could get you a great deal;>
Yes, I’m planning to sell signed copies of Dog Blood through http://www.infectedbooks.co.uk. I’m just waiting to get them in my sweaty hands!
I’ve not done much detailed planning for promotion yet. Chichester eh? We were planning a few days down South in the summer… Watch this space!

Expect an announcement (and a download link) about the free fiction in the next couple of days. Just waiting for it to go live on the publisher’s website…
