Three unlikely heroes must save Britain from a horde of zombie cows in this "clever and very funny twist on the traditional zombie novel" (Booklist, starred review).
Winner of the inaugural Terry Pratchett Award
It began with a cow that just wouldn't die. It would become an epidemic that transformed Britain's livestock into sneezing, slavering, flesh-craving, four-legged zombies. Forget the cud-these cows want blood.
And if that wasn't bad enough, the fate of the nation is in the hands of three individuals who don't exactly inspire confidence: an abattoir worker whose love life is non-existent thanks to the stench of death that clings to him, a teenage vegan with eczema and a weird crush on his maths teacher, and an inept journalist who wouldn't recognize a scoop if she tripped over one.
As the nation descends into chaos, can they pool their resources, unlock a cure, and save the world?
Three losers.
Overwhelming odds.
One outcome . . .
Yup, we're screwed.
