Mercer Dibley was a decedent prose-poet for the modern age. He was a genius, compared to Cioran, Ligotti, Lovecraft (mention only his early work and poetry in this case) and, in a 2001 review of Hell and The Moonlight, "a strange combination of E.A. Poe, M. Gira, and E. P. Derby".

Dibley's grandest visions were nightmares and dreamscapes of the highest order. Night Music is an urban jungle, infested with the deranged shadow of humanity and rich with far more terrible things, all set between 9:00 and 3:00. Hell is visceral and monstrous, like being stuffed into an office cubicle, packed with other drones on the top floor and seething with misanthropism, about to kill the lot, while alone in the lowest sub-basement, shrinking into the unbearably silent darkness. Opiate of the Masses is equally dismal, dealing with personality cults to falsified masks of faceless, subhuman gods. Narcosis is pure literary heroin, which one soon realises was mixed with very strong acid. And his final work, Court of the Gods, is rivalled only by Derby's "Azathoth" in its lurid imagery.

After the publication of the small vignette collections Annihilation The Popular Artist in March 1995, Dibley vanished. Since then, the only news of M. Dibley's existence was via several letters to close friends and the manuscript of Court sent to the small-press publisher Imperial Daemon Press around 24 December, 1998. Since then, no contact has been made with this extremely reclusive artist. Sympathetic Company and Others was released by the Elektrion 12 imprint of Pallas-Athene Press on 9 February, 2005.

The Mythos presence With that sort of sickly praise, it's no surprise that a Mythos reference or two would turn up. Without intending it, in fact, The Ball is a perfect, albeit slightly vaguer, stream-of-consciousness version of The King in Yellow, minus names and in free-verse form.

The Nameless City, a nightmare transcript, goes without saying. His first five pieces, although not at all Mythos (excepting the possible sly references to Mnomquah in "The Moonlight" and Ghouls and Deep One thugs in "Hell"), are of excellent SAN loss value. Even excerpts require a 1D2 check.
