Re: The Shadow Over TLO?

But many things, as you just mentioned about love and stories, are complexes, with some aspects--like brain and biology--being subject to reason and scientific exploration, but the idiosyncratic and...

Re: The Shadow Over TLO?

And I'm not saying we should leap to just any conclusions. Just that you can't create a system which assumes physicalism and they say it disproves non-physicalism. It's circular reasoning. To apply...

Re: The Shadow Over TLO?

No, it's actually a well-known problem in philosophy of science. Science, in order to proceed, assumes certain philosophical stances that are fundamentally metaphysical and not subject to the...

Re: Horror Without Victims - new anthology

Ahh, I love it when publishers give me some room to breathe: 10k words maximum.

Re: 16 years old

Well, as a fan--and sometimes bemused correspondent--of Master Ligotti, I would be remiss if I failed to mention Schopenhauer. His theory of "will" being the fundamental basis of reality and mind at...

Re: 16 years old

And this is exactly why I am

1) an epistemological nihilist; we can never justify our beliefs, even if from time to time they turn out to be true and

2) a neoplatonist/realist/idealist...

Re: Which Ligotti Stories Should be Filmed?

I actually just watched "Theatre Bizarre" last week. My wife and I both loved it...some stories were better than others, but overall it was very good and definitely influenced by Ligotti...you can...

Re: The Tall Man

Fine, fine...I'll give it a chance. When I saw the name and that it wasn't Phantasm related, I felt like they were just ripping off Don Coscarelli's hard-won wonders...but I can put my love for all...

Re: Borges' influence on The Red Tower?

I think the main influence is not a question of style, but of certain recurrent issues and topics of interest. The notion of the fraud or hoax, a dialectic-driven "art-magic", the playful--yet...

Re: Current 93 Tribute Anthology

I have a story in this one also: "Anyway, People Die", under my new name "Neal Alan Spurlock". As some of you know, I am a huge Current 93 fan, and I'm honored to have a story in a tribute to them. I...

Re: Which Ligotti Stories Should be Filmed?

"My Work Is Not Yet Done" would probably be the most accessible, and it was originally conceived as a screenplay (I have the word of the Master, in both interviews and correspondence, on this). It's...

Re: Thoughts on MAD NIGHT OF ATONEMENT

Interesting interpretation, and one I can heartily agree with. Like TCATHR, in my opinion it shows Tom's Schopenhauerian influences...but then again, I just finished reading literally everything...

Re: CALL FOR ZINE SUBMISSIONS - DEEP WITHIN: THE FOREST

I have to go with Simon, here...the project sounds great, but scribblers need to eat occasionally (and pay their bills). I'm not even asking for much, since I know these little projects generally...

Re: Indispensable to your existence?

Re: How to sharpen pencils

I love it. I am one of those odd people who greatly enjoy that style of writing, and least in non-fiction. Thanks!

Re: Your Most Disturbing Ligotti Story

I grew up in West Texas, just as grim but flatter :) and I totally second Neal on that observation. I remember these really odd carnival type events that seemed to appear and disappear at random. ...

Re: Non-explicitly Lovecraftian films

I have to agree with "In the Mouth of Madness"...that's always been my favorite non-Lovecraft lovecraftian movie.

As for others...I really liked "The Violent Kind" from the Butcher Brothers. That...

Re: The Ballad of Genesis and Lady Jaye

So let me get this straight. Facts aren't facts when they don't fit what you would like to believe true about the human animal, and you are the arbiter of what other people "should" say about their...

Re: The Ballad of Genesis and Lady Jaye

I don't see any reason to gainsay the actual testimony of actual people who have had the actual experiences of taking the associated hormone therapy. It is also entirely consistent with the entire...
