THE STORY: “His Mouth Will Taste of Wormwood”

THE STORY: “His Mouth Will Taste of Wormwood”

Ever read Lovecraft’s “The Hound”? The story “His Mouth Will Taste of Wormwood” by Poppy Z. Brite is homage and perfection of this weird tale about a pair of foppish ghouls who dig up a strange fetish and pay the price. Ornate genius from a splatterpunk master.
