The Contagium was Emily Goodwin’s first series, launching in 2014 with four books published in rapid succession. Contagious, The Truth is Contagious, Deathly Contagious, and Contagious Chaos follow survivors as a mysterious outbreak turns the population into zombie-like infected. The series blends horror and survival with romantic elements.
The fast publication schedule and zombie premise attracted readers who enjoy apocalyptic fiction with a romance thread. The Contagium shows Goodwin’s early interest in genre-blending, mixing horror conventions with the relationship-focused storytelling that would define her later career.
