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: S.T. Joshi's new Cthulhu anthology will have a story from Tom

A very solid anthology line-up. I am most struck by the presence of T.C. Boyle of all people, although given what I know of the man I should not be surprised.

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: TLO Update

There is a strange sort of humour to the fact that, of late, I have not come back to this forum to find that something dramatic has not happened shortly beforehand. Not exactly a curse, but the most...

Re: Africa as an arena for Horror.

I am definitely quite late in coming to this conversation, but I would like to reiterate the prior recommendations of Paul Bowles to anyone interested in tales of horror within an African milieu....

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...

Re: Death Poems with new material

At this point, Death Poems is the only proper collection of Ligotti's works that I am not in possession of. With this reissue, I intend to rectify this unfortunate circumstance very quickly.

Thank...

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....

In the Glade

In the glade, a transfigured sound swoops down from above, a curdled shout, metamorphosed musical, then dives and dies and shatters on the half-wet rocks, becomes innumerable hisses. Angles are...

Re: Thomas Ligotti Online - Fifteenth Anniversary

Nomis has been here fifteen, I've been here eight... there is something almost surreal about this fact, the more that I think about it.

A toast to this wonderful site. To repeat the proffered...

Re: Edward Gorey

I noticed it out of the corner of my eye, but I did not realise what it was. In retrospect, I am almost ashamed of that. But yes, that is fantastic.

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...

I should be interested to see how you modify this "doormat" later; it could be quite aesthetically appropriate.

Re: 16 years old

To the first point, I disagree because there is a difference between a statement of fact and a judgement relative to that fact. "Gravity holds us to this planet" is not the same kind of statement as...

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...
