Why not?

morbid /môr′bĭd/ adjective

  1. Given to or characterized by unwholesome thoughts or feelings, especially of death or disease.
    "read the account of the murder with a morbid interest."
  2. Of, relating to, or caused by disease; pathological or diseased.
    "morbid changes in tissues."
  3. Psychologically unhealthy or unwholesome.
    "a morbid fear of heights."
  4. Not sound and healthful; induced by a diseased or abnormal condition; diseased; sickly.
    "a morbid condition; a morbid constitution; a morbid state of the juices of a plant."
  5. Of or pertaining to disease or diseased parts.
    “morbid anatomy”

Other than the fifth definition here, these all seem reasonable to me.
