Apocalypse Cow

Looking for a humorous take on zombies?  Give Apocalypse Cow by Michael Logan a try.  This book has all the sheer grossness you’re looking for in a zombie tale with a nice leavening of humor.  Unexpected when mixed with zombies I know.  It tells the tale of (military) science gone wrong as a virus that essentially turns livestock into killing, flesh eating machines is released into the livestock population in Scotland.  Things get dire very quickly after that. 

The book won THE TERRY PRATCHETT ANYWHERE BUT HERE, ANYWHEN BUT NOW FIRST NOVEL AWARD which actually gave me very high expectations for it.  In that light, I found it a little disappointing.  It did however provide a nice rollicking adventure tale.
