Ligotti in Greek


Well this is the cover of the greek edition of the Nightmare Factory. This volume is a collection of Thomas work and not a translation of the prototype. The stories included were selected by him and the editor. It isn't dark enough but it's ok...

All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream..

I'm a curious sort of fellow. What stories are included in the collection?

"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 in Greek

Here are some photos of this book.Two editions were released, the first one (with the colored cover) was in 1999, while the second one was a part of a limited seven-books boxset called "Σ Κ Ο Τ Α Δ Ι" (2001).Basically the one with the black/white cover is an exact reprint with different cover.

Very cool. Thanks for the photos!

Put your faith in God; he won't expect you.
Put your faith in death, because it's free.
If you believe in nothing, honey, it believes in you.

Re: Ligotti in Greek

I know that this edition is mentioned here, but i have not seen any photos around, so i decided to add some of my copy.This is the second (and last) 'till today Ligotti publication in Greek language. It was released in 2003, titled 'ΕΧΩ ΕΝΑ ΞΕΧΩΡΙΣΤΟ ΣΧΕΔΙΟ ΓΙ' ΑΥΤΟ ΤΟΝ ΚΟΣΜΟ' (I have a special plan for this world) from 'ΤΥΠΩΘΗΤΩ / ΔΑΡΔΑΝΟΣ' publications (ISBN : 9604020919). It's a bilingual edition as it has the text appearing on each left hand page in English and on each right hand page translated into Greek.

It’s really one of the most beautiful of Ligotti’s book editions. Thanks for sharing!

"Thomas Ligotti is a master of a different order, practically a different species. He probably couldn’t fake it if he tried, and he never tries. He writes like horror incarnate.”

If I am not mistaken, this was the first Ligotti book translated into a foreign language. I did own this at one time. I still may.

Re: Ligotti in Greek

I own a copy of the I HAVE A SPECIAL PLAN FOR THIS WORLD dual language edition as well. FYI There is one on Ebay that has been there for quite a while. It is 275$ which probably explains why it is still there.
