Hater: A Novel (Hater Series Book 1)

Society experiences a sudden surge in violent attacks by individuals the media calls 'Haters.' These attackers strike without warning, killing indiscriminately. The assaults are brutal and remorseless—within seconds, normally rational people become frenzied killers. With no apparent connections between victims, attacks escalate from hundreds to hundreds of thousands. Everyone, regardless of gender, age, or race, could become either a victim or a Hater. Fear spreads as people avoid work and home, increasingly suspicious that friends and family might turn violent at any moment. Each day brings the possibility of death—or of becoming a killer. As social order breaks down, people begin attacking first and asking questions later, though the answers prove unexpected. Hater follows one man's experience navigating a world consumed by fear, violence, and hatred. The novel is the first book in the Hater series.
