Mother's corpse in bits, dead dog on the roof, girlfriend in a coma, baby nailed to the wall - and a hundred tons of homicidal beef stampeding through the subway system. And Steven thought the slaughterhouse was bad... Cows is the long-awaited reissue of Matthew Stokoe's critically acclaimed debut novel.

Review:
BSE was never this mad. A stomach-churning read...a 'Wasp Factory' for the '90's. -- D.Tour
Forget Bret Easton Ellis, Poppy Z Brite, and Dennis Cooper. That's kid's stuff. If you want something truly repellent, try this. -- Gay Times
Stokoe's vision of Hell is a carnivore's nightmare. A powerful and all-too possibly prophetic work. -- Kathy Acker
The word is out that Cows is every bit as dark and deranged as Iain Bank's classic 'The Wasp Factory'. It's not: it's even more so. Possibly the most visceral novel ever written. -- Kerrang!
