One Of The Mirocaw Clowns

[The Silent One]

Disquieting.

Ligotti certainly offers various interpretations of the clown as such himself in "The Last Feast of Harlequin".

However to me, this is an obvious allusion to H.P. Lovecraft´s degenerated ("blasphemous") fish-frog-persons in "The Shadow Over Innsmouth", hence to degeneration in general.
