Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

*Starred Review* Co-winner of the inaugural Terry Pratchett Anywhere But Here, Anywhen But Now First Novel Award (which seeks out stories set in a recognizable but alternate version of Earth), this startlingly funny novel imagines a contemporary Scotland in which animals are infected with an experimental virus that turns them into crazed killing machines and makes them damned near impossible to kill. Yes: zombie animals. And not just cows, but also rats, dogs, cats, sheep, and more. Battling for survival against this army of undead animals are a domineering vegan, her perpetually stoned husband, and their scrawny son, an untalented journalist; joining this unheroic-seeming family are a scientist who helped created the virus; a survivor of the bovine uprising that started the virus’ spread across the nation; and the survivor’s unpleasant cousin, his mousy wife, and their two obnoxious children. This ragtag crew is being chased by a government guy who will do anything, especially (and rather gleefully) commit murder, to keep the truth about the virus from getting out. This clever and very funny twist on the traditional zombie novel is exceedingly well executed (it approaches but never quite steps into parody territory), and it ends with a scene that pretty much demands a sequel. Great stuff for horror and fantasy fans. --David Pitt

Review

"Apocalypse Cow treads that rare path between horrific and hilarious, which makes for a very fun read indeed. Give it a go." -Christopher Moore, author of Lamb, Fool, and A Dirty Job

"Apocalypse Cow made me snort with laughter." — Terry Pratchett, author of the award-winning and bestselling Discworld novels

"Logan has a flair for unique description (“a muscled chest that made Arnold Schwarzenegger’s pecs look like burst balloons”) and for painting a mental picture almost photographic in its clarity. An impressive start for an author who’s going places." - Publishers Weekly

"This clever and very funny twist on the traditional zombie novel is exceedingly well executed (it approaches but never quite steps into parody territory), and it ends with a scene that pretty much demands a sequel. Great stuff for horror and fantasy fans." - Booklist, Starred Review

"Apocalypse Cow is a promising first novel, with a challenging premise that will be hard to top, so it'll be interesting to see what he has lined up next. Perhaps something equally horrifying (and hilarious) for the vegetarian set." - Rue Morgue

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Michael Logan is an award-winning Scottish writer, whose career has taken him across the globe.

His debut novel, Apocalypse Cow, won the Terry Pratchett First Novel Prize. Since then, the sequel, World War Moo, and an unrelated standalone novel, Wannabes, have hit the shelves. His fourth novel, Hell’s Detective: Lost Angeles, will be along presently.

Michael’s short fiction has appeared in publications such as The Telegraph, Chapman and Underground Voices. He won Fish Publishing’s 2008 international One-Page Fiction Prize with We Will Go on Ahead and Wait for You — at 295 words, the most difficult thing he’s ever written.

During his time as a foreign correspondent, Michael lived in Scotland, France, Bosnia, Hungary, Switzerland and Kenya, which points to itches that can only be scratched by moving around. He has also reported from many other countries, including South Sudan, Somalia, South Africa, and other places that don’t begin with an ‘S’.

He currently lives in Nairobi, Kenya, and is married with three young children.

Michael likes books, fencing, guitars and cheese. This is not an exhaustive list, but it tells you pretty much everything you need to know.
