Review | Wormwood: Calamari Rising, by Ben Templesmith

Wormwood: Calamari Rising

Wormwood: Calamari Rising

I loved the first two Wormwood books. They were genius; how can you possibly beat stripteasing Leprechauns and giant squid? The third book, Calamari Rising, took the Wormwood trilogy to a whole new level.

The Brothers Calamari visit Earth to take revenge on Wormwood and to absorb his knowledge into their already huge pot of knowledge. The gang — Medusa, Phoebe, Mr. P, the Leprechaun queen, and Medusa’s girls — band together to fight the squid. I can’t tell you the rest without spoiling anything, but oh, man, was it great.

I would have to say that this book was my favorite Wormwood book. I really, really hope that Ben Templesmith does more.
