Summary

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.

Heavy metal - live hard, die with the devil

I'm not sure why the story didn't worked for me as good as I wished. It started out great with much potential, but I felt the characters who seemed to be well developed in the begining evolved into shallow shells. This could be argued to be part of the in-store development, but I don't feel that's reason enough.
Unfortunately it felt a bit more like YA for my liking which I wasn't prepared for, but I think what bothered me more was it waved between coming of age-ish and the sold your sold to the devil, never really fully explore either potential.

Nonetheless I wasn't bored and I don't feel I've wasted my time, but I'm left with wanting to shake some emotional reactions into the characters which would have made the story satisfying for me.

This can very well me a more ME-problem than a general problem, and I won't hesitate to say give it a go, especially if you are a metalhead like me 🤘
