Re: Thomas Ligotti Trigger Warning Messages

WARNING:

Ligotti's fiction might not be suitable to those who think that torture porn, descriptions of gore and gruesomeness, and a sixth grade vocabulary is the standard of excellence in horror fiction.

Re: Thomas Ligotti Trigger Warning Messages

I would use this warning, lifted from American Psycho, to discourage anyone looking for escapist fiction:

This is not an exit.

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: Thomas Ligotti Trigger Warning Messages

Do you mean you get traumatic flashbacks to earlier disappointing books that King has recommended?
