A phantasmagoria of extreme violence, death, sex, bestiality, self-surgery, torture, and a really, really, really bad mother-son relationship, all of which takes what the marquis de Sade did and pushes it down the road a little farther. Stokoe is an able craftsman, which makes the content all the more horrifying as he blasts through boundaries and finds increasingly twisted ways of making readers squirm."

One of the most outrageous, original, and insightful books ever written on the subject of alienation and societal decay, Cows is a violent, blood-soaked nightmare—a tale of love, self-empowerment, and talking cows that will haunt you long after the last page is turned.
