Review – Dreamland: A Ghost Story by NIck Clausen @NickClausen9

Posted on by

.

Amazon / Goodreads

MY REVIEW

I love the cover and it is perfect for the story. I have read a lot of NIck Clausen’s books and he never ceases to amaze me with his ability to add a fresh twist to a familiar tale. Translating his books to English has not been an issue for him. They read seamlessly. The characters wormed their way into my heart, especially Louis. He gets lost in his nightmares and it is through his own ingenuity that he finds his way out. Do you believe in ghosts? Do nightmares haunt your sleep? Maybe Louie can give you some hope.

Dreams can come true. So can nightmares.

In his sleep, Louie starts visiting a magical world where he meets his father, who died when Louie was still a baby. But nothing turns out to be what it seems, and great horrors loom very close by …Welcome to Dreamland
 

A mysterious teen ghost story about fear and loss and losing yourself in dreams, Dreamland was originally published in Danish to great reviews, and is now available in English.

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.

Nick Clausen

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.

Review – Blind Rage by Nick Clausen @NickClausen9

Posted on by

Blind Rage is a new series by Nick Clausen. Instead of zombies, we have ?

Blind Rage

Amazon / Goodreads

MY REVIEW

“They’re here…”

Fritz…there was nobody behind him, but he knew. He knew…when they came…they were coming for keeps.

A moment of silence…then the world goes crazy.

Blind Rage is all about meeting the characters, feeling our way through the madness to live another day. Death and chaos.

We have terrifying moments and NIck Clausen has no trouble killing off his characters, so be careful of who you becomes a ‘friend’.

Blind Rage is a series that does not stand alone. I know that may turn some people off, but Nick Clausen is a fast writer and his stories keep gathering momentum the further into the series he gets. I loved the Dead Meat series and am very curious how he handles Blind Rage.

The world building is filled with many questions, so we will have to wait and see WTH is going on. I’ll be there, how about you?

GOODREADS BLURB

A mysterious crack in the sky. People turning into savage killers. A world disrupted by death and destruction.

A select few find themselves immune to this deadly phenomenon. Now they must fight to survive in a collapsing society.

Tommy, a maladjusted teenager still reeling from the loss of his father. With no support from his basket case mother, Tommy is facing the situation on his own.

Mark, a young man with a criminal record and a spoiled attitude. Finding himself in a fight for his life, Mark is forced to face the choices he’s made.

Gina, a trauma survivor with two young sons to care for. Hardened by life, she is prepared for the worst and will do anything to ensure her boys’ safety.

As the hole in the sky grows bigger, more and more people succumb to the rage. Our heroes must stand together in the fight for mankind, or die along with it.

But there seems to be no cure. No safe haven. Not even an explanation.

Only blind rage.

Music Monday – Zombie Apocalypse Song by Nick Clausen @NickClausen9

Posted on by

Happy Monday everyone and welcome back to Music Monday! Let’s share some songs we’ve been enjoying lately!  If you would like to play, and I really hope you do, please see the rules and link up below HERE

Dead Meat cover

I got an email from NIck Clause telling me he wrote a zombie song to go with his Dead Meat series., which was released on 12.31.21 in a complete boxed set, available for .99. I think that is a steal, because I loved the series soooo much. If you love zombies, this is a must read. You can see all my reviews for the series below.

This is what Nick had to say about his song:

My zombie song is set to the tunes of Taylor Swift’s Shake it off. Yeah, I know. Sounds insane. It is. It’s also freaking hilarious.

I can’t hit a clean note if my life depended on it, so my younger sister agreed to sing and record the song. Trust me, you don’t want to miss it. It’s called Fight ’em off.

The dead are all awake.
They wanna eat my brain.
Drivin’ me insane, mm, mm.
Drivin’ me insane, mm, mm.

My friends are dead and gone.
The dead are marching on.
F*ck, I think I lost my gun, mm, mm.
Think I lost my gun, mm, mm.

But I keep trying.
Can’t stop, won’t stop fighting.
You’ll never see me crying.
If I fight, I know it will be alright.

‘Cause the dead are gonna rise, rise, rise, rise, rise.
And the zombies gonna bite, bite, bite, bite, bite.
Baby, I’m just gonna fight, fight, fight, fight, fight.
Fight ’em off, fight ’em off (woo-hoo-hoo)

The living’s taking flight, flight, flight, flight, flight.
The infection’s gonna rise, rise, rise, rise, rise.
Baby, I’m just gonna fight, fight, fight, fight, fight.
Fight ’em off. Fight ’em off (woo-hoo-hoo)

It’s The End Of The Line for Dead Meat…Day 9 by Nick Clausen @NickClausen9

Posted on by

Nick Clausen has done an amazing job with the Dead Meat series and I am totally invested in sticking with it til the end to see how he wraps it up. That being said, I have my fingers crossed that my favorite characters will still be alive when it is all said and done.

Dead Meat - Day 9: A Zombie Apocalypse Thriller

Amazon / Goodreads

MY REVIEW

Well, this is the final day of the zombie apocalypse and I have had my fingers crossed that my favorite character, Dan, will make it to the end. TODAY, his mission is to find his father. Will he be dead dead? Will he be a zombie, making it possible for Dan to cure him?

I can picture Dan with the water gun. How about having a little fun in zombieland?

As we near the end of our journey, Nick Clausen has never failed in the world building and dangerous times…and it is nail biting, spine tingling, with characters to love and hate. He kept me on my toes with the pacing and suspense as I wondered who he would kill off next. Would be favorite characters(s) be left alive when their journey ends?

My rating: I have been doing so much reading since Covid entered our lives that I think my ratings have changed and it is even harder to get my attention, keep it, and make me race through the pages…because I HAVE TO KNOW! Nick Clausen was able to do that with Dead Meat: Day 9. This series has been unpredictable and unputdownable and five stars is well deserved!

Now, I’m curious…what’s next Nick?

But zombies aren’t the only thing threatening human lives, as the world is standing at the brink of all-out nuclear war …

Zombies Are Everywhere in Dead Meat: Day 8 by Nick Clausen @NickClausen9

Dead Meat: Day 8

Amazon / Goodreads

MY REVIEW

Brains. Brains. Brains. Zombies are everywhere. Nowhere is safe. And my favorite characters, Dan, a young man taking on the evils of his world, is determined to go home. What he will find there? Will it be the death of him? After all, Nick Clausen is not afraid to kill off his characters, and every time I find one I like, I worry…

Book 7 ended with a cliffhanger, and I would like to thank Nick for getting Book 8 written so quickly. I was hanging by a fingernail, because…well. I can’t really say. You will need to find out for yourself what I’m talking about.

As soon as I finished Chapter One, I could see that Nick was going to torture me the very end, and all I can say is…BRING IT ON.

More zombies. More heroics. More Death.

Many surprises and heart stopping moments, and another threat, other than zombies, hangs over their heads.

I have been amazed how Nick Clause has kept the series moving, able to keep me eagerly devouring the words, watching, wondering, how it will all end.

So much I could not anticipate and I loved it. Even though I am not sure how I feel about the ending for this book, once I started I couldn’t stop.

Dead Meat: Day 7 by Nick Clausen @NickClausen9

Posted on by
Dead Meat: Day 7

Amazon / Goodreads

MY REVIEW

We begin Day 7 with Dan, my favorite guy, and my heart breaks for him. I have been with him every step of the way, from Day 1, of the apocalypse.

I will warn you about the characters and Nick Clausen’s ability to kill them off, no matter how brave, courageous and selfless they may be. So be leery of falling in love with any of them.

“…the human body can go three weeks without food, three days without water…and 3 minutes without oxygen.”

Does that whet your appetite for suspense?

Iver, who we met in Book 6, is still alive. YAY! He is a wonderful character, putting his life on the line to do the right thing. Getting away from the ferry was pretty amazing, but, now, they are stranded on an island…with zombies outnumbering them.

“Paranoid people live longer.”

William….When he was stranded in the car, I thought of Cujo, but he has it worse. Will he survive? I really want him to…BUT…it’s up to Nick. Is there a way, Nick?

OMG…you are killing me Nick! From beginning to end, my heart was in my throat. BUT, when I reached the cliffhanger ending, it dropped to my gut and I think it will drive me crazy having to wait until Day 8.

So much happens in each terror filled Day, it feels like weeks, months, or even years have passed. People’s true nature rises to the surface, their humanity…or inhumanity…exposed.

The Virus Spreads in Dead Meat: 6 by Nick Clausen @NickClausen9

Reads like current events…except for the zombies.

Dead Meat: Day 6

Amazon / Goodreads

MY REVIEW

The Dead Meat series reads like current events…except for the walking dead.

The virus is spreading and, even though, I was immediately drawn to some of the new characters in Dead Meat 6 by Nick Clausen, I knew not all of them would survive. Everything happens over the course of one day. Each story in the series leads to the next, so I highly recommend reading in order.

As usual, Dead Meat grabbed me from the beginning and never let me go.

Gory, grisly horror, but amongst the dark some light shines in the people who sacrifice their lives to save others. Some wonderful characters are still alive, fighting for survival. All the good and bad humanity has to offer comes forth in this novel of terror and horror. Some show courage and grace, others show the despicable side of us humans.

Unputdownable. Want to be grossed out? Want to fret and worry about characters and have to know what happens next? This series is for you.

And Dan…he carries the weight of the world on his shoulders. He’s just a boy, but quickly grows up to meet what fate has in store for him. He shows great courage.

WOW! The suspense level is off the charts, the characters fabulous, even the not so good ones. I love watching the rag tag groups grow, change and learn to do whatever must be done…against all odds.

Dead Meat: Day 5 (Dead Meat, #5)

Amazon / Goodreads

MY REVIEW

The Dead Meat series started out as novellas and I am so excited that Nick Clausen has so much to share that now he has a full scale novel.

Nick Clausen takes a view from current events and expands on his Zombie virus, crossing borders and hop skipping across the water. He introduces new characters, some that I quickly grew to care for, and, of course, he is not afraid to kill them off. Goes to show ya, when your time is up, it is up.

Bloody, gory, horrific, people come and people, go, zombies walk and zombies fall, everything I look for in a good zombie story. Non stop blood and guts action, killing those who get bitten or scratched.

City to city, country to country, the virus spreads like wildfire, with no one able to curb the spread, let alone stop it.

You will want to read the series in order and I can hardly wait to see where Nick Clausen takes me next.

Amazon / Goodreads

MY REVIEW

The Dead Meat series by Nick Clausen covers the apocalyptic/dystopian world he has created on a day by day basis. I highly recommend reading the series in order as each book picks up where the previous book left off.

It is so easy to visualize and relate to the storyline because we are going through it now, sans the zombies. I began reading this before Covid-19, but the characters careless actions read too much like real people’s disregard for others in spreading the disease. All it take is one person to break the rules, one moment of carelessness, others thinking, oh, it will be alright. It only takes one person to set off an explosion.

Day 4 is longer than the other books. It seems to grow as I meet new characters and keep up with the old ones.

I could not stop reading this action packed, heart in my throat, nonstop suspense with tension that left be a bit sore from my muscles being clenched so tight.

OMG…you better be prepared to lose some of your friends along the way, because Nick Clausen doesn’t hesitate to kill them off in gruesome, tragic, heartbreaking fashion.

AND…he ends with my emotions reeling as I mourn, yet I have hope.

EXCERPT

Henrik has turned away to go back inside the bedroom and pack a fresh set of clothes, when Kirsten screams.

He spins around and sees Finn come lunging out from Jennie’s old room, throwing himself at Kirsten, who backs away into the wall in a vain attempt to get out of reach. But it’s too late, and Finn bites down hard on her neck.

Kirsten’s scream turns even higher and more piercing.

Oh, Jesus Christ!

Henrik runs down the hallway and grabs Kirsten’s flailing arm. He begins tugging hard to get her away from Finn, but Finn acts like a predator who just caught his breakfast and isn’t intent at all on letting it go. He bears down harder with his teeth, growling and blowing bubbles in the blood from Kirsten’s throat. He also reaches up and grabs her by the grey hair, yanking her head sideways.

Kirsten screams again, very high-pitched, but a little weaker than before, and for an awful moment, she looks like a piece of toy torn between two big kids, as Henrik pulls her one way, while Finn pulls her the other.

“Let go of her!” Henrik shouts, and then, without thinking, he lets go of Kirsten with one hand in order to throw a punch at Finn. His knuckles connect with the old guy’s temple, and his jaw pops open for a moment, as he blinks his dead eyes and staggers backwards, loosening his grip on Kirsten’s hair and allowing Henrik to pull her free. She almost collapses into his arms, and Henrik half drags, half lifts her backwards down the hallway, away from Finn.

But the neighbor quickly regains his bearings and comes waddling after them, arms stretched out, the lower part of his face smothered in blood …

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.

Nick Clausen

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.

Another Winner for Nick Clausen – The Girl Who Wasn’t There @NickClausen9

Posted on by

.

I first found Nick Clausen with a freebie…I believe…and it was all gravy after that. I ‘open’ each and every book with anticipation.

I have been reading his Dead Meat apocalyptic series and lovin’ it.

He has some of the greatest covers.

And…I see a look of determination on Rebecca’s face.

Amazon / Goodreads

MY REVIEW

Andy and Rebecca had been told to stick together, but when he went into the library and Rebecca refused, the worst happened. He came out and she was gone.

I know many of us have had that annoying sibling…the one that keeps hanging on, following us around, and just down right making a pest of themselves. The funny thing…I was the annoying pest. I latched onto my older sister like a leech. LOL

In books, nothing ever happens by accident – there is always deeper meaning.

This quote definitely applies here.

Andy goes out every night…looking for Rebecca…looking for the elusive yellow van no one believes was there.

Told from multiple points of view and that always works for me. I love to get the view from each characters perspective, their thoughts and feelings.

WOW! This took a wild turn making me rapidly ‘flipping the pages’ to see what the outcome will be…and another wonderful twist that has me hopeful for a good outcome.
