Cadaverous

By: Jay Bower

Narrated by: Joe Hempel

When the sun went dark, it was only just the beginning…

Gaige Penrod yearns for the light of musical greatness. A self-taught metal guitarist with a dream of being the greatest, he finds himself drawn to a concert celebrating an eclipse, where he is overcome by an otherworldly presence that changes him forever.

As Gaige searches for answers, he becomes obsessed with the idea of fulfilling his musical destiny, and he sets out to reunite his band on his quest for glory. But in his pursuit of fame, he makes a deal with a shadowy figure, and unleashes a sinister force that threatens to consume him and everyone around him.

Cadaverous is a chilling tale of the dangers of unchecked ambition and the horrors that leave us questioning the true cost of our own desires.

so eerie

This gave me goosebumps. I'm not superstitious but this made me enough weary to skip over the incantation just in case. I really liked the whole "sold their soul to because musical genius" aspect.

Wicked fun.

This sick and twisted story was so much fun. I didn't want to stop listening once I started. It was a quick read which kept me wanting more. It left me wondering what I would do to get everything I ever wanted.

Cadaverous is a wild and demonic story about teen, Gaige Penrod, who wants to be the best musician he can be. Him and his friends have a garage metal band and are hoping to hit the big time. Gaige goes to an Ozzy concert and sees an unexplainable dark presence upon the stage that appears to reach out to him. He then becomes obsessed with learning about the occult. In the pursuit of fame he make a wicked deal with the shadowy figure. He soon realizes he must go to great lengths to keep this entity in his pocket.

Jay Bower did an amazing job with this story and I am excited to read more form him.

Wild ride!!

Jay Bower + Joe Hempel = chef’s kiss!!
This was such a fun and entertaining book. You have demons, heavy metal, blood baths and a Faustian deal. Perfect for horror fans.

Wicked!

I just finished listening to this book and it was excellent 👌. I loved every second of it. Excellently written & performed. A must read!

Great book.

When i started this i had no idea what it was about. i liked the music part and the demon areas and where they over lapped.
