Guardian Review of SOADD and Grimscribe



Excellent review.

"These may not be horror stories at all, but more like evil little mantras, leading you into dark, half-conscious speculations about the frailty of human identity and purpose."

Songs of a Dead Dreamer and Grimscribe by Thomas Ligotti review – evil little mantras | Books | The Guardian

Heaven and Earth are not humane.
They regard all things as straw dogs.
The sage is not humane.
He regards all people as straw dogs.

I saw this today, too. And I agree that it's a fine review.

Having laboured for decades in the obscure regions of horror publishing, Ligotti recently joined Morrissey as one of the more surprising living writers to be published as a Penguin Classic. But unlike Morrissey, he may actually deserve the distinction.
Ligotti has outcharmed the charming man.

Re: Guardian Review of SOADD and Grimscribe

Great review. I smiled at the Morrissey mention.

Your fall should be like the fall of mountains. But I was before mountains. I was in the beginning, and shall be forever. The first and the last. The world come full circle. I am not the wheel. I am the hand that turns the wheel. I am Time, the Destroyer. I was the wind and the stars before this. Before planets. Before heaven and hell. And when all is done, I will be wind again, to blow this world as dust back into endless space. To me the coming and going of Man is as nothing.
