Re: Ligotti panel at NecronomiCon Providence 2017
I'm glad this is happening. I just feel a little bitter knowing I won't be able to go - yet again.

"In a less scientific age, he would have been a devil-worshipper, a partaker in the abominations of the Black Mass; or would have given himself to the study and practice of sorcery. His was a religious soul that had failed to find good in the scheme of things; and lacking it, was impelled to make of evil itself an object of secret reverence."
~ Clark Ashton Smith, "The Devotee of Evil" |

Re: Ligotti panel at NecronomiCon Providence 2017
This certainly looks to be one of the more interesting panels at the convention this year. About time they have a Ligotti panel, frankly.
Speaking of which, who else here is planning on going to the NecronomiCon? This will be my third time attending, and the first time I'll be staying at the hotel the convention is taking place at: for the previous two conventions I would take the bus back and forth from my home to Providence, but I found that by doing so I was pretty much missing all of the morning and evening festivities, so I figured it would be easier if I just booked a room at the hotel itself this year (as it is, I love staying at hotels). |

Re: Ligotti panel at NecronomiCon Providence 2017
I hear that, boss. Event fees seem more or less reasonable. Airfare, hotel accommodations, and meals boost it up quite a bit. Plus, to be honest, I tire of being around most people. | |||||||||||

Is it because you don't care for the company of others or because you find it physically draining? I'm just curious.

Individuals can be OK, although the less I know them, usually the better. I have a fondness for wackos; I have no use for souls who have no gifts. Like many of you, my days are numbered. | |||||||||||

I will be there also, along with a friend from Maine. We're staying at the Biltmore, a cool-looking old building that looks like something out of Lovecraft. | |||||||||||

I think I am going to attend. I am in Connecticut so it is a stone's throw away. Looks to be very interesting.

Re: Ligotti panel at NecronomiCon Providence 2017
Yes, I'll be at the Biltmore as well. Lovecraft actually mentioned that very hotel in "The Case of Charles Dexter Ward," incidentally, so there certainly is that connection with his work. |
