Cows by Matthew Stokoe
4.0
I started to read this book during my lunch break then quickly realized I wouldn’t be able to so this became my bedtime reading.
I just finished two decently sized books so I wanted a palate cleanser, something short and gross. I figured Cows was going to deal with animal abuse and there’s a pet dog in the story so you know something bad is going to happen to it.
I was surprised at how well articulated the book is. I love a good splatterpunk book but sometimes I feel like they are written like bad fan fiction. Cows I thought was well written and the gore wasn’t just there for shock value, it had a purpose (for the most part).
I was at 14% earlier today and managed in almost one session to finish the rest of Cows while my husband got a tattoo. It was a great afternoon read.
The fetus nailed to the wall made me literally laugh out loud in disgust 10/10
