More macabre (8)

I believe the answer is:

grislier

'more macabre' is the definition.
('grisly' can be a synonym of 'macabre')

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for grislier that I've seen before include "More gruesome" , "More ghastly" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
