    About this ebook

    A prequel to DOG BLOOD - the second book in David Moody's HATER trilogy.

    The world has fallen apart with incredible speed and brutality. Your only choice now is how hard you fight - hate or be hated, kill or be killed.

    With the war between the Haters and Unchanged increasing in intensity, Danny McCoyne drifts from fight to fight, from battle to battle. His old life is over. This is all he has now. But a chance incident on the battlefield changes everything, bringing him back into contact with everything he thought he'd lost forever.

    A head-spinning thrill ride, a cautionary tale about the most salient emotion of the 21st century... HATER will haunt you long after you read the last page... (Guillermo Del Toro, director of HELLBOY, PAN'S LABYRINTH and PACIFIC RIM)

      Everything and Nothing - David Moody

      INTRODUCTION

      This short story was originally published prior to the release of DOG BLOOD in 2010. It leads directly into the beginning of that novel, picking up the story of DANNY MCOYNE, following the world-changing events of HATER.

      For those who are new to the HATER series, the original novels were published between 2009 and 2011, with a second trilogy of books published between 2017 and 2019. The second trilogy - THE FINAL WAR books - wrap in and around the original series, expanding the story and showing the opposite side of the conflict.

      You can find details of all my other books at the end of this eBook. EVERYTHING AND NOTHING is also available in print as part of my collection, THE LAST BIG THING.

      Many thanks for downloading this quick and nasty tale. Although short, I think it does a good job of conveying the brutality and violence of the HATER world.

      Best wishes,

      DRIFTING

      When this war began, killing was everything. You did what you had to do, when you had to do it. The only thing that mattered was wiping out the Unchanged whenever you could, however you needed to do it. Those first days and week were a constant blur of blood and battles. The enemy was everywhere, and they were easy pickings. You chose your spot, you went in there, and you started killing. And you didn’t stop until you were the only one left standing.

      Things are changing.

      There are fewer of them left now. Just last month I was killing more than ten a day on average, usually more. Even as recently as a couple of weeks ago I was still finding them regularly, and the hunt, the chase and the kill seemed to fill every hour of every day. But now they’re getting harder to find. The gap between kills is increasing, and in the spaces between I’m left drifting: frustratingly purposeless and directionless.

      My life has changed more than I could have imagined. I’m learning to live off the land now, picking at the flesh which hangs from the bones of what used to be here before and taking whatever I need from wherever I can find it. I see things now that I used to look straight past, taking chances and finding opportunities I would previously have missed. I understand and accept things which never used to make any sense. I’m a thousand times the man I used to be.

      Before all of this happened, life was simple and easy. We used to bitch and moan but we had it all on a plate and everything was there for you whenever you wanted it. We all took things for granted and expected that what was there today would still be there tomorrow. You went out to work and you were paid to do your job. You used that money to buy food and to pay for the roof over your head and the clothes on your back and whatever
