Topic Winner PICTURES OF APOCALYPSE by Thomas Ligotti



Quote
Chiroptera Press is pleased to announce its publication of Pictures of Apocalypse, a new work by horror legend Thomas Ligotti. A stylistic successor to previous efforts such as I Have a Special Plan for This World and This Degenerate Little Town, this volume is a cycle of lyric and narrative poems that share the common theme of what Ligotti designates as the Great Going from both individual and collective perspectives. In his introduction to the forenamed collection, Ligotti considers what purpose is served when we “wallow” in representations of the end of things—as, of course, we have throughout our existence as a sentient species—a query that complements that posed in his book The Conspiracy against the Human Race, namely, “Is being alive all right?” Richly illustrated throughout with illustrations by Jonathan Dennison, Pictures of Apocalypse expands upon and updates a signature theme that is developed throughout Ligotti’s writings, one which may be justly described as the wrongness of being.

Standard edition of 700x - $70 each - 550x copies are available

Specs:

* 6"x 9"

* 110 pages

* Smyth-sewn binding

* Head and tail bands

"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.”

Re: PICTURES OF APOCALYPSE by Thomas Ligotti
Isn’t this this first major Ligotti work in a while that isn’t a revision? I can’t wait.

Re: PICTURES OF APOCALYPSE by Thomas Ligotti
I have been waiting for months for an update. This is great.
Your fall should be like the fall of mountains. But I was before mountains. I was in the beginning, and shall be forever. The first and the last. The world come full circle. I am not the wheel. I am the hand that turns the wheel. I am Time, the Destroyer. I was the wind and the stars before this. Before planets. Before heaven and hell. And when all is done, I will be wind again, to blow this world as dust back into endless space. To me the coming and going of Man is as nothing.

Re: PICTURES OF APOCALYPSE by Thomas Ligotti
Have pre-orders been bumped to a later date? I can't find anything on the whole webz except this thread.

Edit: Sorry, I got lost in time and thought for some reason that Halloween had come and gone.

Re: PICTURES OF APOCALYPSE by Thomas Ligotti
I rushed in ordering "Paradoxes from Hell" thinking it was "Pictures of Apocalypse" I had the feeling it was too good to be true.
"Tell me how you want to die, and I'll tell you who you are. In other words, how do you fill out an empty life? With women, books, or worldly ambitions? No matter what you do, the starting point is boredom, and the end self-destruction. The emblem of our fate: the sky teeming with worms. Baudelaire taught me that life is the ecstasy of worms in the sun, and happiness the dance of worms."
---Tears and Saints, E. M. Cioran

Re: PICTURES OF APOCALYPSE by Thomas Ligotti
Also note to overseas customers: Tibet should be releasing his edition of the book some time in 2023, though I don't know any details.
