  <default_description>Welcome to a new and twisted universe -- one where a corpse-possessing worm is your guide. Meet Wormwood, the gentleman corpse. In this first collection of his tales, 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 and his oddball entourage are brought in to investigate the case (or at least hopefully not stuff it up too much). This collection compiles the first four-issue miniseries and the original &quot;Taster&quot; issue, along with covers, sketches, pin-ups and other cocktail napkin scribblings from creator/writer/artist Ben Templesmith (&lt;i&gt;30 Days of Night&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;Fell&lt;/i&gt;), as well as an introduction by &lt;i&gt;30 Days of Night&lt;/i&gt; director David Slade.
