Define Ligottian/Ligottiesque

[Mr. D.]

Transendental absurdity is a great phrase. There's also a the magical way that Mr. Ligotti focuses on the things that we usually don't observe which those things on which we usually focus are slightly off-centered and vague. I'm sure that someone can come up with a better term but right now I'm using metaphysical parallaxism. One more thing to consider is that even when a story takes place during daylight hours everything seems to take place in the dark. Only a very few things in any story appear to be in the light and that is often only in comparison to the dark background. It's something akin to theatrical lighting but I can't come up with an accurate term. Can anyone think of a good phrase for this central concern?
