Re: Recent Reading

Recently read "The Tsalal" for the first time. One of the best Ligotti stories I've read yet in fact! I really enjoyed how he sort of blended his own motif of a universal darkness with a Biblical...

Re: Video Games

So Bayonetta was just ported and released to Steam, after a huge wait of 7 years. I can't wait to play it again.

If you're not familiar with the game, its a "character action" in the same vein of...

Re: The Ligotti Penguin Classics book - views from fans

The Penguin omnibus is absolutely fantastic. Like many other people, I was only able to read Songs of a Dead Dreamer and Grimscribe after Penguin reissued them.

Re: Mystic Fiction

More on Machen: his short story "The Spagyric Quest of Beroaldus Cosmopolita" is entirely based upon the tropes of alchemy and mysticism. While its sort of a witty satire on the obscure language and...

Re: Mystic Fiction

Absolutely. This story is what I had in mind when I mentioned Gavin. It certainly blew me away and begs a re-read. I also really loved "A Pallid Devil, Bearing Cypress". Can't wait to read more...

Re: Mystic Fiction

My man. That is also one of my favorites as well. A very fin-de-siècle story with some elements of mysticism, I think.

Glad Bloodborne is being mentioned here.
