- I
don't recall being so impressed with a short story
collection by a new (to me) writer since I first read, in
my youth, the works of M.R. James and H.P. Lovecraft.
When I got my copy of Morbid Tales, except for the
intriguing title and the attractive book production by
Tartarus, I didn't know what to expect, knowing precious
little about its author. . . . I can't recommend this
book highly enough. Crisp will surprise and delight you
with his marvellous writing skill and the ability to
convey a profound sense of universal horror, cosmic
menace and spiritual desolation. - Mario Guslandi,
The Alien Online
-
- "Attempting to find a frozen moment,
description, or phenomena with which to express a breath
of cosmic fear and awe, Crisp acheives with this
collection a remarkable scrapbook of terrorr."
- William Simmons,
Cemetery Dance
-
- "The
power of the best stories here is in the way in which
Crisp has been able to use his influences to reflect deep
within himself and draw out something that is strikingly
new." - Douglas Campbell, All
Hallows
