Ornamented Death posted:Ligotti is certainly a talented writer, but the way he approaches keeping his poo poo in print is loving infuriating. I'm all for signed limited editions, god knows my shelves are full of them, but put out a drat trade paperback or an ebook, too. The goofy thing about Ligotti is that his actual books are hard to find but the comic book adaptations of his stories are readily available.

I've been reading The Light is the Darkness and man, that book is loving weird.

The ironic part of Ligotti's career is that when he was writing you couldn't find his work but now that he's quit its becoming more available. For the longest time his short stories were only available through small print regional publishers who didn't sell their stuff to/through Amazon.

Ex-Priest Tobin posted:Ligotti is such a great writer - his prose is so much better than any one else in the genre. But I wonder, is his persona for real or is it all just an elaborate joke? The Conspiracy Against the Human Race just seems way too grim and over the top to take seriously, especially when stories like Our Temporary Supervisor and The Shadow, the Darkness display a pretty awesome sense of humour. There's a short story (I think by Laird Barron?) that pokes fun at Ligotti's seriousness.

I think it would have been just as interesting without the monster killing people.
