Description

'Who was Goom Well, he was just like you really. Except maybe a little shorter, a little greener, and a little more homicidal. He lived in the county of Yeedlebeetlebeetle. You say that just as it's spelt: 'Yeedle-beetle-beetle', except faster.' So begins the tale of Goom, an invention of the wizard Pernikous the Necromancer, and of Joshua Wright, the irrepressible creator of Plotless, Pointless, Pathetic and Hapless, Hopeless, Horrible.
