4.0 out of 5 stars
A Forgotten Classic of the Grotesque,
By makifat (Phoenix, AZ United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Ape, the Idiot and Other People (Kindle Edition)
A delightfully grotesque collection of tales (published 1897), most concerning strange instances of meticulously calculated violence or revenge. Morrow does not employ the supernatural in his stories, although he teases the concept a time or two. Instead, he employs coincidence and unlikely circumstance, bearing some stylistic resemblance to his acquaintance and fellow San Franciscan Ambrose Bierce. Despite their grotesque qualities, there is a spark of wit and the easy fluency of the raconteur in his writing. A remarkable collection of strange stories, available online at Internet Archive, as a Kindle book, and in various shoddy editions by public domain publishers. Still, the format matters little - read and enjoy!
