Dead Meat: Day 1 is not my first Nick Clausen story. Just like it says, Dead Meat is only the first day in the series, and I am super excited to see where Nick Clausen takes us.
MY REVIEW
It’s hot as Hades, as the kids find themselves in the suffocating basement, dodging a zombie that salivates at the thought of taking a bite out of them…
Dead Meat by Nick Clausen gets creepy bad very early and time is of the essence.
OMG! Want bloody, gory, gruesome, sad, tragic, heroic and…?
Read about a day in the life of Dan, a teenager that was only delivering newpapers on a freakishly hot day when all hell broke loose in his world. I love this character!
I am drooling over the thought of reading more of this delicious series.
I voluntarily reviewed a free copy of Dead Meat by Nick Clausen.
GOODREADS BLURB
The end of the world one day at a time
In
this new apocalyptic zombie series from the author of They Come at
Night and Human Flesh, we follow events day for day as the world slowly
but surely decends into mayhem as the zombies take over. Don’t miss the
thrilling ride!
For fans of The Walking Dead, The Orphans Book and World War Z.
How it all began:
Three teenagers find themselves trapped in a stuffy, warm basement. The old lady who used to own the house is now dead. She’s also standing right on the other side of the basement door, scraping and moaning, trying to get in. Patiently. Tirelessly.
How did they end up here? Just a few hours ago, all three of of them were sitting in Thomas’ car, sweating and listening to music, not a care in the world. They were almost done with the paper route when they came to the old lady’s house. And that’s when everything turned to chaos.
ABOUT NICK CLAUSEN
Born 1988 in North Jutland, where I still live with my wife, who also happened to be my earliest childhood girlfriend. From 2017 I have lived as a full-time writer. Up until then, I had different jobs beside the writing. I have been studying as a carpenter for three years, and have also read two years of psychology at Aalborg University. It turned out that the writing had a much more powerful pull on me.
I decided early on that I would be an author when I grew up. In fact, the decision came to me already when I read my first book, Snevampyren by Dennis Jürgensen. My first “real” stories I wrote at 14-15 years of age. They were rejected by the publisher, but still got praise. There were some years when I was busy with being a teenager and trying to get an education before I suddenly remembered that I should be an author.
That day I made a promise to write 1,000 words a day until I got a book published. I sat down and started writing. I continued to write every single day for a year and a half. I sent the finished manuscripts to different publishers, and the rejections piled up. Twelve of them by the end. But each time I could feel it was a little bit better. The criticism became more positive. The thirteenth story was called Tidevandet, and it was adopted by the publisher and came out a year later.
I have always enjoyed writing, although in the beginning I put a lot of pressure on myself. My approach to the process has become much more free over the years. For example, I no longer plan my stories. That way, I feel that I’m experiencing the story while writing it and the characters feel like real people. I do not know where the ideas come from, but I’ve never had trouble finding them.
