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.
Mel is just about coping with being the only 'out' lesbian in school and all the sniping that 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, and Mel finds herself stuck in a mansion with Dorian and Ella, her love-life suddenly turns on its head in the most extraordinary way.
A screamingly funny LGTBQ+ love story from a brilliant new talent.

Apocalypse Cow is wild and wonderful. I loved it - Wibke Brueggemann
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
Brilliant, original and fun! - Louisa Reid
Hilarious and bonkers and the characters are just gorgeous. The end of the world has never been this much fun! - Lisa Williamson

I read this book in one sitting, I just could not put it down. It’s incredibly funny, I loved all the gay references (Tegan and Sara made me snort), and while the plot of animals turning on the human race seems a bit... More
“End of the World Shenanigans”
Apocalypse Cow is a funny, queer, and bizarre take on the end of the world as animals rise up to (perhaps) take back their revenge on the human race.

“Bonkers, brutal and hilarious!”
I absolutely LOVED this book! It somehow manages to be an apocalyptic, dystopian, coming of age comedy, with characters you genuinely cheer on all the way. I particularly enjoyed how it feels very "real" and... More
