Wicked, Twisted Entertainment!
Another winner from Vaughn, who can do no wrong, in my opinion. This one is fast, brutal, and a disturbing pleasure to read. Highly recommended to fans of extreme horror!

Bowery II Part II has released (I purchased from Godless but it’s also available on Kindle). If you haven’t read Bowery or Bowery II part I, I highly recommend doing so.
Part II will answer some of your questions regarding the origin of Mother Cow. It will blow your mind because it was nothing at all what I expected it to be. Not even close. There will be no spoilers here because I want you to be as shook as I was upon reading Mother Cow’s story.
I will be sitting here patiently waiting on the release of part III

One evening I received a copy of part 2 in my email. I opened the book at 2:30am and found exactly what I had hoped for, a subtitle indicating that this was an origin story for the mother cow. And then I found my name among many other wonderful reviewers and authors in the dedication page and it just made my heart happy. Which was a good thing because I knew that Vaughn was about to wreck it again with this story.
Bowery 2 part 2 tells the story of a walled in village surrounded by a forest where a demon roams. The wall has been successfully keeping the demon at bay until the day he decided he was going to go into the village and take what he wants. He demands a sacrifice and the villagers band together and force one family to give up a child each time the demon returns. When the demon decides he wants to satisfy a different kind of hunger, the patriarch of the family snaps. Not at the demon, of course. He’s not stupid. But he is short sighted. He should have known that the demon would not be happy with his actions. The demon wasn’t going to just move on when his source of tasty morsels was gone. He should have also known that he wasn’t going to be able to tend his farm alone, and since travel between villages wasn’t a thing given the demon forest, he would eventually starve to death. What’s a guy to do? You’ll have to read it to find out. Be warned though, it is bleak.

Let's go back to the beginning and see how things came to be. The story of Mother Cow It all starts in a small village.
I kept my synopsis short; I do not want to give too much away. What I can say is that this is an excellent tale. Violent, heartbreaking, and dark. Vaughn continues to show us why he is an author that should not be overlooked. Fantastic origin story of an absolutely wild character in the series. Don't miss this. If you haven't read Bowery yet, you are missing out. Check it out!

Discover how the infamous Bowery came to be. This is a departure from the style of books Matt usually writes but trust me the depravity and brutality remain. Part folk horror, part nightmare and completely insane!

Disgusting, horrific and depraved. Matthew Vaughn is mental. I wanted to barf when reading this.

Being a Huge fan of Vaughn's work I can say I feel this is some of his best writing and story telling yet. 110% recommend the Bowery books if you're looking for something to make you say WTF.

Matt could chuck one of these out a week and I'd be all over it like a wet suit! I'm loving this series and feel super lucky I stumbled on to it so early in is life cycle. Also unlike George Matt is still putting these out.
This is different from the last two books because it provides a back story for the mother cow and how she came to be. I got the feeling this was set in the very early period of American colonisation with people still believing heavily in rituals to make crops grow etc.
We get a lovely cameo in this from a very well endowed demon who I am hoping makes a come back in later books. As per the previous instalments this doesn't hold back on the extreme side of things and follows suit making the reader feel uncomfortable, but that's what a good book should do right?...
All in all another solid entry and provides a beautiful historic back story to this crooked Bowery. 5/5
