The newest issue of Morpheus Tales arrived in my mail box last week. Once I opened the envelope and saw the cover art I had a feeling I was in for something special. I wasn’t wrong.
Morpheus Tales #11 is a great collection of short fiction and artwork. Out of the ten stories there was only one that I really didn’t enjoy, personal taste. It seemed a bit out of place in the context of the other nine stories.
That being said the other nine were fabulous. The highlights for me were the opening story Other Years, The Missing and Dead Baby Bounce. These three stories just seemed to stick with me well after I finished them.
Morpheus Tales continues to publish cutting edge horror fiction and artwork. If you are a fan of short horror fiction you really need to head on over to their website and subscribe to a magazine that gets it right.
