Publisher's summary

From best-selling author of Dead Meat comes a new, fast-paced, unpredictable and brutal zombie series with a fresh take on the genre.

Two teenagers find a frozen corpse in the middle of the woods and decide to bring it back to town. They have no idea they just sparked the zombie apocalypse.

In the morgue below the hospital, the dead begin waking up and attacking the living. The infection spreads rapidly, turning the place into a slaughterhouse as those inside fight to survive against the undead.

As the situation escalates, authorities are forced to seal off the building in an attempt to contain the spread of the virus. But it may already be too late....

Fans of Mark Tufo, Bobby Adair, Mike Evans, and Camille Picott will devour this action-packed zombie series. And if you liked Slow Burn, Dead State, or The End of Everything, you’ll love Cadaver.

Loved it!

It looks like Nick Clausen has written yet another great zombie apocalypse story. I’ve read every series he has released and always look forward to new installments. Just like his others, this one pulls you in from the very beginning and doesn’t let go. The narration is wonderfully done, Spencer Dillehay is pleasant and easy to listen to. I can’t wait to get started on book 2 in this series!! <3 <3 <3

Great story

Definitely a great story, This thing picks up pretty quick so definitely give it a try 🔥

Twists

THE ABSOLUTE TWIST AND TURNS AT THE END. Nick Clausen YOU DID IT AGAIN YOU AMAZING MAN

Awesome Book!

The way the story is told, and the plot line are great. To me it’s way a zombie outbreak would happen in real life. It’s one of those those you can’t put down without wondering what’s going to happen next.

Good take on the Zombie Apocalypse genre.

Believable story premise. Young guy doing something to stupid to impress, causes catastrophic disaster. Who doesn't know someone like that? The story is written in present tense which is hard for me to adjust to as most books I read are past tense. This style does lend itself to imparting a sense of tension and immediacy which this author uses to good effect. The narrator of the book really throws himself into the action, changing his voice as much as possible for each character and putting boatloads of emotion into each scene. Sometimes he is a bit over the top but you have to give him credit for passion and commitment. I have to admit that this author and this genre are a guilty pleasure for me. I love Nick Clausen's engagement with his readers, his sense of humor and his determination to grow the skills of his craft. I read the books first then Nick sent out codes to check out the Audible. I read quickly and I can definitely say I got caught up in the tension even though I knew what was coming. No character is safe. Some authors telegraph who will die by making them " other ", not part of the core group of survivors. I love how Mr Clausen has no respect for the "immunity" of core characters and will let you get engaged with someone and kill them in the most gruesome way possible in the next chapter! Hold on to your heartstrings!

solid

this is a solid book. the writing is really not that great, but it's is good enough description wise. maybe it really gets lost in translation? I don't know, and who am I to critique anyone's work? the performance was a little over the top, and it felt like he was on the edge of his seat the whole time, but in a good way. I really did enjoy this book and will get cadaver 2.

Well written but nothing new

Overall well written and performed, but it relies heavily on usual story trope for zombie stories.

Perfect for beginners

As you can tell, by the title, this book is for those who are fairly new to the zombie genre. Honestly, if I had read this a few years back, I would’ve given it five stars. However, because I’ve read hundreds of zombie books, this one feels to “easy“ to me. There’s a good backstory, and good character development. I just feel like I’ve evolved from this level of zombie reading. If you want to get your toes wet in this genre, this book is perfect for you!

Wait!

The story ended so abruptly, I’m fuming lol. Great story & narration was great. Now I have to check his other books 😅

Hit the Spot

I listen to a lot of heavy drama so once in awhile I like to listen to something that is fun and scary and this book hit the spot. I love zombie books and this one ranks right up there. I really liked the banter between the characters and the narrator was great. Just wish it was longer. Looking forward to book 2.
