Moribund Tales


“Erik Hofstatter’s Moribund Tales is a short anthology of very short tales written in a Poe influenced Gothic style. This toe dipping offers the right amount of time inside the warm treacle of words. Any longer gulping below the surface may leave some readers feeling breathless."

"Moribund Tales is a good short story collection that’s well worth spending time and money on and I have no doubt we’ll be seeing a lot more of this writer in the future."

"His gothic style tales are psychologically horrific, clearly presented, and deserving of notice. His work truly is a rare gem in the world of self-publication."

"Hofstatter has made a daring choice in attempting to recreate the romance and dread of the nineteenth century gothic masters such as Edgar Allen Poe, Bram Stoker and Mary Shelley, while adding his own twist to the style. He has done an excellent job of reproducing the chaotic effect that was the trademark of Victorian gothic fiction."

"Moribund Tales is a mix of campfire Gothic and rewritten urban legends."

So what’s this collection of horrific tales about…

Moribund Tales features 9 shocking pieces of short dark fiction that will take you on a horrifying exploration into the dark side of human nature.

The tales are diverse and range from memories of blood and remorse in 'Broken Glass,' to a chilling brotherly compassion in 'Last Straw of Humanity,' from dark rituals and soul searching in 'Soul Reflection,' to a mysterious voice, guiding a blind traveler in 'The Chaperone.’

You will find tales of cunning revenge and fiery metamorphosis in 'Infant's Fingers' and one lonely man's quest for love going horribly wrong in the previously unpublished 'Affectionate Cadaver.'

The collection also includes the acclaimed 'Tears of Repentance' and 'Internal Abduction.'
