"Praise seems superfluous for a book as accomplished, cohesive,

and devastating as Lonely Christopher's debut collection, so consider

these words admiration instead, and admonishment: if you still think

fiction counts for anything, then you should buy this book right now."

--Dale Peck

Sneak Peek: COWS, by Matthew Stokoe

Akashic Books is proud to present a preview of the forthcoming

reissue of Matthew Stokoe's debut novel, COWS,

selected by Dennis Cooper for his Little House on the Bowery series.

"[A] phantasmagoria of extreme violence, death, sex, bestiality, self-surgery, torture, and a really, really, really bad mother-son relationship, all of which takes what the marquis de Sade did and pushes it down the road a little farther. Stokoe is an able craftsman, which makes the content all the more horrifying as he blasts through boundaries and finds increasingly twisted ways of making readers squirm." --Publishers Weekly

* COWS is available from AkashicBooks.com --
