review 1: I read Carroll's stories because they help me kill a little bit of time, and for the most part they are free Kindle books. This was really short and simple. A immortal demon cow and her friends a crow and a scarecrow decided to spread a little mischief on Halloween night. They go to the house a a little girl who is not allowed to Trick-or-Treat. Now this sounds like a good deed for these evil of creatures, but they have their own agenda. They want to get this girl in trouble with her parents because she is not allowed to go out on Halloween or eat candy. If you want to know what happens read this short story. It was fun to read, but I wish I would have read it on Halloween. It did put me in the mood for fall in this hot summer we have been having.
review 2: LOL... more, so this was a cute little story. I never read short stories, but for lack of anything else to read, here I am reviewing Unholy Cow. I definitely value humor in writing (and anywhere else) and Unholy Cow had me chuckling out loud in several places. I'm sure it was meant to be tongue-in-cheek, but there's a reason the story is only getting 2 stars from me. The writing is just not that good. Although the HUMOR in the story is OK, the writing style, the story and character development, and the ending leave much to be desired. This mostly made me think of the author as a kid who wrote a story for a high school assignment and decided to be a bit of a smart-ass about it. However, if this became something much more polished and elaborated upon, I would definitely consider purchasing a children's book about a demonic cow and her friends who live to cause mayhem. Good idea, bad execution. less
