Teatro Grottesco by Thomas Ligotti

Teatro Grottesco by Thomas Ligotti

In his stories, Ligotti has followed a literary tradition that began with Edgar Allan Poe, portraying characters that are outside of anything that might be called normal life, depicting strange locales far off the beaten track, and rendering a grim vision of human existence as a perpetual nightmare.

An accomplished conjuror of nightmares in the tradition of HP. Lovecraft * The Times *
Ligotti is wonderfully original; he has a dark vision of a new and special kind, a vision that no one had before him * Interzone *
A generous serving of Edgar Allan Poe, a dash of Franz Kafka, a smidgen of Robert Aickman: These comprise the components in the cauldron of creativity of Thomas Ligotti. . . . His descriptive powers are mesmerizing. * Hellnotes *
Quite unlike anything else being published ... One of the most unique voices in the field ... His imagery is breathtaking * Science Fiction Chronicle *
(Ligotti uses) restrained, lyrical prose and subtly disturbing images that Poe himself might well have admired * USA Today *

Thomas Ligotti's first collection of stories, Songs of a Dead Dreamer, was published in 1986, and he has since established a cult following. He is also the author of several other story collections. Ligotti is the recipient of several awards, including the Horror Writers Association Bram Stoker award for his omnibus collection The Nightmare Factory (1996) and short novel My Work Is Not Yet Done.
