Thanks for posting this. I think it's great. It hints at anti-natalism and corporate horror. I only have a handful of foreign translations of TL's work, but I am going to have to add this one.

Here is the Bing translation of the book description. (The translation isn't bad).

"A masterpiece of one of the greatest American writers of fear.
In the shapes that lurk behind the reality, in schools attended by strange students and even more strange instructors, in ancient rites forgotten, his voice speaks to us of the horrors that surround us and that we don't want to see. Horrors hidden in the dark and light, in theaters in desolate houses and ancient, forgotten in the illustrations of arcane cruel prayer books, in the suburbs of the city decadent and vicious, cruel in the mists of an early spring, the scarecrow dancers who pop up from infested fields. Grimscribe's voice, the scribe macabre, keeper and Bard of every horror.
The heir of Edgar Allan Poe returns to fill our nights of nightmares."

So, after the True Detective plagiarism, we have now stooped to new lows by plagiarizing book covers. Someone please tell me this is not a real cover.

Sometime in March or April there'll be a spanish translation of Teatro Grottesco, published by Valdemar (who have previously published translations of Grimscribe, Noctuary, and TCATHR). Here's the cover:

Ligotti: so poignant in speech that he makes Google Translator sound poetic.

It appears that an Italian translation of The Spectral Link is also forthcoming, according to the first post.

Thank you Andrea. A good incentive to finally try out my Italian dictionary for Kindle with vocab builder. An interesting read, as is always the case with Ligotti.
