This collection available and/or affordable? I certainly wouldn't dare to produce any text in deutsch by myself—let alone try speaking—but reading's okay as there's nil pressure of any kind. I might actually go for this

Re: Nocturnal Products
I would like to buy this book. Unfortunately, I do not know German. Sylvia Plath characterized the language as resembling barbed wire. , , and !
"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: Nocturnal Products
Jorge Luis Borges used to say that, were he forced to choose to keep one language among all existing tongues, he would choose to keep German : )
Which reminds me of this quote (from "The Translators of the Thousand and One Nights"):

"Whether in philosophy or in the novel, Germany possesses a literature of the fantastic - rather, it possesses only a literature of the fantastic."

If you order the book directly from Atlantis Verlag, you also get a paper collage made and signed by Angerhuber herself! I recieved the hardcover version today, can't wait to read it.

German is a wonderful language! I think Mark Twain would agree with Sylvia Plath though:

If it is barbed wire that is part of its appeal! I'd love to learn German. If for no other reason than to be able to read Hann Heinz Ewers's work in its original form. It's a magical-sounding language to me. I'm not sure why.

I feel the same way about German, Richard.

Btw, I recently came across a podcast interview with Eddie Angerhuber (also in German). If you download this and go to 8:00 you can hear her reading the story "Der blaue Stern". Now, tell me this isn't mesmerising even if you don't understand what she is saying!
