Re: Les Fleurs quotations
"It seems she had made girl plans with a girlfriend of hers to do girly things girls do when they get together with others of their kind."
"Les Fleurs" was my first experience with Ligotti. I was immediately drawn in. The line I just quoted amused me a great deal. I must have stopped there and re-read it three or four times, snickering to myself. I was hooked. For me, truly great works of a disturbing nature must have some element of black humor, absurdity, or quirkiness to balance and/or amplify the horror-- much like Polanski or Lynch films. Ligotti is a master of this. | |||||||||||
