Apocalypse Cow

WINNER OF THE 2022 GUPPY OPEN SUBMISSION COMPETITION!

Mel loves Sasha and dreams of a day that Sasha might reciprocate her feelings (even though she’s straight) – so the fact that it’s thirty degrees outside in January and hasn’t rained for a year simply passes her by. She’s just about coping with being the only ‘out’ lesbian in school and all the sniping Janis and Ella aim her way, as well as her dreary Saturday job with the stupidly posh Dorian…

But when domestic animals suddenly lethally turn on the human race, Mel finds herself stuck in a mansion with only Ella and Dorian as survival companions – and her lovelife turns on its head in the most extraordinary way – if she survives the apocalypse, that is.

A screamingly funny LGTBQ+ lovestory from a brilliant new talent.

‘Apocalypse Cow is wild and wonderful. I loved it.’ Wibke Brueggemann‘There is no one I’d rather have by my side in the zombie apocalypse than Mel, and no one funnier to write about it than O R Sorrel. A hilarious new voice in UK YA.’ Joanna Nadin‘Authentic, hilarious and deeply moving; Sorrel’s debut is laugh-out-loud funny and filled with joy in the face of a terrifying event. APOCALYPSE COW will turn even the most reluctant readers into avid fans of the written word.’ Anika Hussain
