I've gotta recommend You Shall Never Know Security by J.R. Hamantaschen. It's an amazing collection of short stories. Not all of them deal with cosmic horror, but the ones that do, including my favorite story "Truth is Stranger than Fiction" (written from the perspective of a judge writing a court opinion, trust me, it makes sense) are phenomenal. There's a Kindle version, too, for a couple bucks less. Also, the author is a really cool guy. He responds to every email.

GrandpaPants posted:Yeah, I've said it before, but he is the only writer that leaves me in a consistent down mood after reading his works. And it's not like they're particularly drenched in human misery, but they just create this sort of oppressive atmosphere that is just absolutely heavy. As bad as it is to agree with this sentiment I totally do. If misery is what makes him write then be miserable

Is there anywhere to buy The Nightmare Factory graphic novels in ebook format? I'd much rather read them on my tablet.

Pope Guilty posted:/r/nosleep is a subreddit where people write spooky stories for each other. There's a podcast where they read selected posts. Yeah, I've got that, Drabblecast, and Night Vale currently. Thanks for the response, though!

KingShiro posted:I forgot if it was mentioned here or somewhere else, but Quiet, Please is pretty good. Not a podcast, just archives of a really old radio show. Pretty Twilight Zone-y overall. I remember listening to The Thing on the Fourble Board while driving late at night and getting freaked out. Thanks!

Roark posted:I haven't seen it mentioned in the thread yet, but in addition to a Ligotti collection, Penguin is also putting out a Charles Beaumont collection. He's probably most famous nowadays as a Twilight Zone writer ("The Howling Man", "Shadow Play", a bunch of other well known episodes) and for screenplays, but his stories really hold up. It doesn't come out till October.  I want it now!
