Okay, but time consuming. I'm trying to do extra before I go off on holidays at the end of the month.

I usually don't read this much but I had a few weeks off at the start of the year and that got the ball rolling.  I imagine I'll slow down a bit now except I've spied some more books I'd like to read. -- A woman I work with reads two or three books every two days. Now that's a lot.

It's a pretty good book - dirty, gross, and super cheeky. Ben Templesmith is the awesome artist who drew 30 Days of Night (the graphic novel). Wormwood features his writing and his art. He's doing some very interesting work combining drawing and computer image manipulation. The titular gentleman corpse is actually a trans-dimensional maggot that occupies a rotting human body, animates it, and uses it to investigate and battle demonic activity. The whole thing is clever-clever. http://elizabetht...ogspot.com |

The whole thing is clever-clever. Perhaps I'm prejudiced, but I don't think I can get around the fact that the narrator's a maggot. :-/ I don't do well with bugs. It's why I live in a place with a good deep freeze in the winter. |
