Mort: Tales by Mortimer, aka Death

Welcome to the twisted world of Mortimer, where Death himself pulls up a chair and shares the stories that keep even him awake at night.

The Tales by Mortimer, aka Death series follows Mortimer, better known as Death, as he recounts the darkest supernatural encounters from his long career. With his Southern charm and unsettling wisdom, Mortimer introduces each tale with the casual air of someone who's seen it all, then settles back to watch ordinary people discover that some doors should never be opened.

These aren't your typical ghost stories. Each book contains multiple tales of psychological horror that blur the line between reality and nightmare. 

Mortimer serves as both guide and judge, offering his unique perspective on human nature while the stories unfold. Sometimes sympathetic, sometimes coldly amused, but always honest about the price of tampering with things meant to be left alone.

Series Features:

  • Multiple standalone horror tales per book
  • Mortimer's distinctive narrative voice framing each story
  • Slow-burn psychological horror with supernatural elements
  • Small-town and rural settings with authentic Southern Gothic atmosphere
  • Characters who feel real, until reality itself becomes questionable

"Now, most folks think they know what scares them. But I've been in this business a long time, and let me tell you something, the real horror isn't in what jumps out at you from the dark. It's in what you invite in yourself, thinking you can handle it." —Mortimer

Perfect for fans of Clive Barker, Joe Hill, and those who love a touch of Southern Gothic with their horror 

Content Warning: These tales contain mature themes, supernatural horror, and psychological intensity. Not recommended for sensitive readers.
