Hater

"A head-spinning thrill ride, a cautionary tale about the most salient emotion of the twenty-first century." ―Guillermo del Toro

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 .
