Ligotti's agent ?
Hello everyone,

First of all, I'm glad to find, here in TLO, a group of weird fiction fans that recognize Ligotti's talent and vision!
I am a French translator (worked on Lovecraft, Joe Hill, Bizarro authors Kevin Donihe& Jeremy R. Johnson, and currently Tim Powers), and must say that I'm actually disappointed by how few of Ligotti's stories have been made available in my country (only a dozen in twenty years or so). Hence, I took upon me to go ahead and translate Teatro Grottesco and forward it to French publishers, hoping that one of them will have the guts to give the book a chance.
One of the reasons of my presence here - apart from joining the fan community and discussing weird stories - is that I'd like to find a contact, phone or mail address, for the entity (agent or publisher) that actually represents Thomas Ligotti, so as to facilitate the copyright purchase for an eventual (and hopefully, probable!) French publisher.

I hope someone might be able to help me on this. Meanwhile, bravo for the site and longue vie to TLO!

Maxime

I don't believe Ligotti has an agent....never heard of him having one.

I think he does...don't know who it is, though.

Re: Ligotti's agent ?
The Secret Bungalow House Agent Conspiracy Against the Human Race by Joseph Conrad and Thomas Ligotti.
"What does it mean to be alive except to court disaster and suffering at every moment?"

Tibet: Carnivals?
Ligotti: Ceremonies for initiating children into the cult of the sinister.
Tibet: Gas stations?
Ligotti: Nothing to say about gas stations as such, although I've always responded to the smell of gasoline as if it were a kind of perfume.

Re: Ligotti's agent ?
Those agents who went to Crampton were agents. what's left of them may still be considered an agent.

Re: Ligotti's agent ?
Many thanks to all, I got my answer! While surfing on the forum, I found another thread from march in which a French fan made a similar request. Finally, it seems Ligotti is getting attention here. Hope one of those attempts, his or mine, will carry through.

Hi Maxime,

Do you mean this tread?
French Publisher wants Ligotti - THE NIGHTMARE NETWORK

It looks to me like a wonderful opportunity. A publisher who wants to publish Ligotti in French and a translator who is willing to translate into that language.

Good luck in your endeavours!

Re: Ligotti's agent ?
Indeed! I just contacted Rhysaurus. Let's cross fingers and hope this works out, even though I already have a few ideas as to which publishers I should contact.

Re: Ligotti's agent ?
He does have an agent, by the way. I will ask Tom, though. I speak with him regularly.
