I absolutely adore the title to Michael Logan's debut, Apocalypse Cow. I love puns. I love pun-like things too. I like funny titles created by word or sound substitutions. So here is what you have to do to enter to win a copy of Apocalypse Cow:
Change the title of an existing book, movie, TV show, comic, etc. to somehow include an animal reference.
Examples:
Armoogeddon's Children
Apocalypse Cow (of course)
Abaaaaddon's Gate
The winning entry will be judged completely subjectively by Michael Logan and The Qwillery's denizens - Qwill, Melanie and trinitytwo - with Michael Logan having the deciding vote if there is a tie. Be amusing! Be creative! And keep it clean!
About Apocalypse Cow
Apocalypse Cow
St. Martin's Griffin, May 21, 2013
Trade Paperback and eBook, 352 pages
(US Debut)
If you think you've seen it all -- WORLD WAR Z, THE WALKING DEAD-- you haven't seen anything like this. From the twisted brain of Michael Logan comes Apocalypse Cow, a story about three unlikely heroes who must save Britain . . . from a rampaging horde of ZOMBIE COWS!
Forget the cud. They want blood.
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.
And if that wasn't bad enough, the fate of the nation seems to rest on the shoulders of three unlikely heroes: 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.
