Ross

I believe the answer is:

gruesome

(Other definitions for gruesome that I've seen before include "Revolting, filling one with horror and disgust" , "Shockingly repellent; inspiring horror" , "Causing horror or repulsion" , "Sickening, macabre" , "'Grisly, macabre (8)'" .)

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