F*cking Animals pairs two 2015 novellas, BIRD and COW, under a shared horror concept that uses animals not as gentle nature subjects but as sources of something deeply wrong. Matt Shaw has always been drawn to unusual premises, and this series represents his ability to find extreme horror in places readers might not expect to look.

Each book takes its animal subject and builds a horror scenario around it that aligns with Shaw’s broader catalog of graphic, boundary-pushing fiction. The titles are deliberately provocative, which is consistent with the author’s approach to marketing his work. For readers who enjoy short, sharp extreme horror with an off-kilter premise, these two make for an unusual pairing.
