About this item

The bestselling zombie apocalypse series in one complete bundle!

When two teenagers stumble upon a frozen corpse deep in the woods, they make the fateful decision to bring it back to town—unaware they’ve just unleashed the apocalypse.

In the morgue beneath the hospital, the dead begin to stir, attacking the living and spreading a relentless infection. The once-quiet town quickly descends into chaos as the hospital becomes a battleground, its halls soaked in blood as survivors fight to escape the growing horde.

As the outbreak spirals out of control, authorities seal off the building, desperate to contain the spread. But the virus is already beyond their grasp, setting the stage for a global catastrophe that no one saw coming ...

The Cadaver series takes you on a pulse-pounding journey from the initial outbreak to the terrifying descent into a full-scale apocalypse. It’s a story of survival, horror, and the fragility of humanity in the face of an unstoppable force.

Fans of Mark Tufo, Bobby Adair, Mike Evans, and Camille Picott won’t be able to put this action-packed series down. If you enjoyed Slow Burn, This Rotten World, The End of Everything, or World War Z, then you'll love Cadaver.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Really good read!

    I really enjoyed this series. At first I wasn't sure where it was going. Norway? This is the first story I've ever read set in Scandinavia. But I quickly found myself hooked. The author wasn't afraid to kill off major characters. The character development was well done. The scope of the story was broad. And it largely avoided pitfalls of many in this genre. There were no Special Forces types, and no improbable deus-ex-mavhona was twists to get characters out of trouble.

    Really good. Can't recommend it enough.

    I couldn’t tell you how many horror books I’ve read. It’s a lot. I love Nick’s writing style. I’ve read every one of his books I can find and Cadaver is not only my favorite Nick story but my favorite zombie series hands down. Nick’s ability to draw the reader in and keep us there is amazing. I enjoy the plot speed, the chemistry between each character, and the character development as the story grows. Nick takes us on a ride that’s enjoyable at every page turn. Keep writing and I’ll keep reading.

    Got this series on a whim and I couldn’t put it down. I’m an avid reader and it took me most of a month to read. It was very intricate. Loved how each side story connected to the main story line. Great zombie read.

    This book series was seriously hard to stop reading. The author really knows how to connect you to the characters, and have you on the edge of your seat. I didn't want to stop reading, because I wanted to know what happened next. I really liked the story behind these zombies, as well, and you get to learn about the why. I am definitely going to read more from this author. If you like stuff about zombies, I would highly recommend this! I also really liked the ending, even though you lose several characters, which made me feel sad even, because it is about zombies, you will of course lose people, but, it just makes the conclusion better, as well as some people getting what they deserve.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Very addicting/original Zombie apocalypse series!
    Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2024
    I love good zombie origin stories and series. Cadaver delivered exactly that, and even more. From the moment when the boys find the corpse hanging in the cabin the stage is set, not just the stage, but the hook. Nick Calusen has created a cast of characters who are only normal everyday people cast into an unimaginable situation because of a young man’s need to impress his older brother.

    Reading each book of the Cadaver series is much like watching a building being built. You can’t tell what it will be from the foundation – and even when the frame is raised you can still mistake its ultimate state. After the first two books I felt like I had a good handle on where the overall story was going, of course book three showed me the error of my presumption, book four furthered the correction to my presumptions. Book five brings in several possibilities for the remainder of the series. One specific thing I have to say about book five is regarding Axel’s part in this book. Over the first four books Axel plays a significant part, but in book five he seems to fully commit to jumping out of the proverbial frying pan into the fire multiple times with varying degrees of success. Book six sets the stage for reunions and a greater understanding of what caused the Zombie outbreak as various characters share their knowledge and suspicions. Nick Clausen does an excellent job bringing the Cadaver series to a conclusion with Cadaver 7. Along with tying up loose ends from the six previous books, he once again introduces revelations that were unexpected to say the least. I’m not sure what I was expecting the end would be like, but it wasn’t anything like what I experienced.

    In some series there will be a book that is there as filler to fill a void until the next episode comes along. In the case of the Cadaver series each book fills a specific function in building the world, developing the characters, or driving the story arc. The tension felt by the characters is palpable and the action is nonstop.

    On one hand I’m glad to see the series conclude, but it is bittersweet having gotten very invested in these characters over the seven books. I could only wish another apocalypse could befall them so I could travel along with them as they fight to survive.

    I read/listened to the Cadaver series over a fifteen-month period, with the release of the complete Cadaver series in a single volume new readers won’t have to wait between episodes. I think with the release of this new edition I’ll go back and revisit Cadaver by binge listening to the audiobooks.

    I downloaded this series about a week ago and thought it would take me a couple of months but I read every page but once I started I just couldn’t put it down. Every page had me wondering what was going to happen on the next page and once I got to the end. It ended well. Not some stupid way you would think but in a way that made since and was completely believable. As believable an ending you can have to a zombie series. But the perfect ending for me. Can’t wait to read “Dead-Meat”
