Nemonymous has done a lot of good work for this forum recently and all Ligotti fans owe him a debt of gratitude.

True, Druidic. I haven't read many of Des's real-time reviews yet because it has been so long since I have read many of TL's stories that I want to read them again without "spoilers". The ones that I have read are interesting and insightful.

Thanks for comments. It was quite an experience I went through!

Just to say, I did not knowingly include any spoilers. But with Ligotti, to talk about plot spoilers seems to me to be a Ligottian nonsense in itself.

Just to confirm that I am currently re-posting on TLO the individual constituents of my real-time review (overall links above) of Ligotti's Penguin Classics collection and later of the rest of his fiction. This is because, I feel, many more readers would have since experienced these works and have become TLO members. Also, I think that my one and only Goodreads review of any author's work is now substantiated, in my own eyes, by the hindsight gestalt of these individual reviews.

The author of CATHR cites many ingredients of a depressed human's views on the world, one being that “The image of a cloud-crossed moon is not in itself a purveyor of anything mysterious or mystical;” – but what, I ask, if that cloud-crossed moon is TRULY mystical (even when the view of it by the depressed human is initially that it is unmystical), will the human then gradually feel the lifting of his depression once the moon’s intrinsic mysticism starts to sink into him involuntarily?

my on-going review of the Penguin Classics collection.)

My gestalt real-time review of most of Ligotti's fiction started a year ago today.

Reposting this in honour of what I hear to have been a successful discussion panel on Ligotti at the Providence NecronomiCon in the last few days.
I am looking forward hopefully to listening to a recording of it in due course.
