Re: Vastarien: A Literary Journal Is Open for Submissions

I'm a bit disheartened that I was unable to offer a certain work of fiction which I am currently working on to this publication before the deadline, but I very much look forward to the paperback and...

Re: Steve Rasnic Tem

It's nice to see someone talking about Tem here. I have always found his work deeply disquieting and strange, and while perhaps of a slightly different bent to Ligotti philosophically speaking, his...

Re: Some Strangeness...

It's good to be back now and again. I just find that I have little to contribute much of the time, maugre the occasional observation. But I might make more of a presence of myself here again...

Re: Some Strangeness...

Very, very belated update here, but I'm currently making more song-like material as Silence and Secrecy (https://silenceandsecrecy.bandcamp.com/). It's similarly ambitious and conceptual to my...

Re: New SWANS Album Up for Pre Order

To Be Kind is, I think, one of Swans' strongest releases to date, but I have not had a chance to listen to it again since shortly after it came out. No doubt my thoughts will be different, but likely...

Re: Best Rhymed Translation of Les Fleurs du Mal?

Campbell's translations have yet to let me down. The way he renders Baudelaire's rhythms and metaphors strikes me as very true to the spirit of the poems even when somewhat differently structured...

Re: Autism, Depression, Love

Sometimes becoming a better person means coming to recognise when the problem lies with you rather than with outside circumstances, and sometimes that problem is something that you must accept and...

Re: Your favourite song at the moment..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUCyxJQYqP8

Perhaps the most striking track on The New Backwards, at least in my opinion. Deliriously, delightfully demoniacal.

Re: NVSQVAM - Ann Sterzinger.

The dearth of women writers like Sterzinger can probably be attributed to the same factors that keep women from pursuing any number of male-dominated pursuits, particularly those like philosophy that...

Re: Talking to People About Ligotti

I will freely admit that I am a bit of a Ligottian evangelist, insofar as the man's fiction is concerned. If someone I know expresses an interest in horror fiction of a certain kind, or even simply...

At Home

After leaving the building, Pulver took a roundabout route to an even poorer part of the city. Few things moved here at night, and what did seemed so familiar that he could hardly give them notice....

Re: The Grimscribe's Puppets has a (final) ToC

A few pleasant surprises here, but surprises nonetheless. I was not even aware that Robert M. Price still wrote, as absurd as that sounds. And Gemma Files... interesting! The appearances of some of...

Re: "A Season In Carcosa" and "The Grimscribe's Puppets" are coming!

It's not even a review. It's someone with strong opinions complaining in a fairly ill-informed manner about the concept behind a book that he hasn't read yet.

All well and good mind you, but not a...

Re: 16 years old

But there is a problem with saying that there is no inherent aversion in the human instinct to self-termination. The will to survive is generally a strong one; only extraordinary circumstances tend...

Re: The Best Live Album?

This is going to be difficult for me, as while I greatly enjoy live performance and recordings, live albums as a whole tend to be hit-or-miss for me. My personal favourites are probably John...

Re: The Fear of Nothingness

I think that the essential justification in ideologies stemming from existentialism is that of the reduction of suffering: To make things better in the long run for those who live creates meaning,...

Re: "The Christmas Eves Of Aunt Elise: A Tale Of Possession In Old Grosse Pointe"

It is disappointing how little more has been said on this subject since this little commentary was first posted; wishing to rectify this, I might as well say something now.

Re: Your Most Disturbing Ligotti Story

I actually found the scene where Barry is... transmogrified to be grotesquely funny. Most of MWINYD is like that for me, actually; Dominio's growing monomania, while unsettling, also sharpens the...

Re: Your Most Disturbing Ligotti Story

It is strange, betimes, to look at what one found unsettling years earlier and then know what frightens one in the here and now. That said, the point of fact remains: My fears and obsessions,...

There is something truly splendid about when a pastiche or homage really grasps the element of awe that defines the best of Lovecraft, as this one does. Well done!

Re: Is it immoral to read fiction at times of crisis?
