Poems of Grave Importance by Ridley Mortis

Step into the Macabre with Poems of Grave Importance

Graveface Publishing, Inc. is thrilled to unveil Poems of Grave Importance, a wickedly clever collection of horror tales by the enigmatic Ridley Mortis. Ridley has been hard at work from his creepy quarters at the River Styx, dipping his poisonous pen into deep red ink and scratching out spellbinding scrolls and suspenseful stories for horror-hungry humans. Mortis is an eerie blend of Edgar Allen Poe, E.C. Comics and Edward Gorey, toiling away in dank dungeons, conjuring verses that are equal parts spooky and whimsical.

Imagine the Addams Family's dark charm, but with Mortis presiding over a world filled with sinister surprises and macabre fun.

This isn’t just a book—it’s an immersive horror experience, with more than 60 original tales complemented by killer artwork from a murder’s row of talented artists.
