Synopses & Reviews
Ben Templesmith (
30 Days of Night,
Singularity 7,
Fell) creates an all-eerie and humorous new series.
Things are awakening in the city. Things that have a nasty habit of leaving mutilated bodies in their wake and it all reeks of demons and dark gods up to no good. Owing a favor to his lazy ghost cop buddy Trotsky, Wormwood, the gentleman corpse, and his oddball entourage are brought in to investigate the case (or at least hopefully not stuff it up too much).
Review
"The art forms a grotesque and murky banquet of shape and color: Lovecraft on laughing gas channeled through Ralph Steadman....Australian Templesmith crafts a goofy, surprising, and oddly beautiful tour de force." Library Journal (Starred Review)
