Storytelling and audiovisual poetry in style of Ligotti

Greetings all. Long time reader of Ligotti but just recently joined here. It is great to see that there are small corners like this around the net discussing the genius of Thomas Ligotti. I have personally done quite a lot of analyzing of his works through various frameworks - mainly Jungian - and am planning to do a proper dissertation of some his stories... some day, when I have time. For a long time I have been entrenched quite heavily in my own projects, however, some of which I thought sharing here. I recently completed "translating" some of my poetry and stories into audio-visual form. If you are interested in short form Ligottian style poetry, here's an example:


If you happen to have more time available, I have a story heavily influenced by Ligotti's "Troubles of doctor Thoss":


Thank you.

Edit: I'm not sure if the links are showing. In any case, my youtube channel is called "Via Sophia", and the aforementioned things can be found there. The poem is "The Void Between Worlds" and the short story is "The Arrival of Doctor Kross".

Re: Storytelling and audiovisual poetry in style of Ligotti

I'll try the link again in a message here. If someone happens to stumble upon this thread, let me know if these are working, and if not, what might be the issue (lacking permission, I'd suppose).

Edit: I figured out the issue - it was youtube's linking system not embedding correctly. The direct link works. Should be viewable now below.

Re: Storytelling and audiovisual poetry in style of Ligotti

Thank you for letting me know, I figured it out and corrected the links. Here's one more, a short poetry piece, "It Was Not Us Who Chose This Place":

Re: Storytelling and audiovisual poetry in style of Ligotti

Instead of continuously adding more posts here as I continue making videos and artwork, I created an art-station page where anyone interested can follow.

Link here:

My art-station Profile page

In the future I plan to make more short "fleeting thoughts" poetry pieces as well as translate old longer stories - that I've accumulated quite a number along the years - into audio-form. The topics range from heavily Ligotti-inspired dreamlike narratives, to that of my own musings concerning the human condition. The main, overall aim of this project is to try bridging the vast gap that exist between Carl Jung's psychonanalytic work / his theories of the archetypes, and Thomas Ligotti's pessimistic/anti-natalistic world-view.

Obviously, I have had my own considerably strange experiences concerning all of this (that prompted the whole investigation), but that's outside the scope of this post.

Thank you for your time & attention.
