Cows by Matthew Stokoe Review: When Splatterpunk Sacrifices Story for Shock

This review explores Cows by Matthew Stokoe as an example of Splatterpunk that prioritizes shock value over storytelling. While the novel delivers relentless gore and disturbing imagery, its lack of nuanced characters and unpredictability weakens its impact. Despite moments of striking prose and thematic depth, the book ultimately falls short of its potential.
