Thomas Ligotti, autor del relato "La última fiesta de Arlequín" (título original "The last Feast of Harlequin"); graduado de la Universidad estatal de Wayne, parte de su obra (como ha sucedido con Sthephen King, por ejemplo) ha sido plasmada en novelas gráficas; trabajó por varios años como editor asociado en Gale Research (Gale Group en la actualidad); según la información que obtuve, se especializa en cuentos de terror, no ha escrito novelas como ha sido el caso de los otros escritores que he presentado por acá, pero cada uno de esos cuentos tiene un brillo propio que no se desmerece ante las obras de otros escritores, material que tiene su publico por merito propio; su obra también ha sido incluida dentro del género de ficción extraña; por cierto, ha colaborado en dos albums del grupo musical Current 93.

Songs of a Dead Dreamer and Grimscribe Thomas Ligotti

Ligotti’s one of those weird giant holes in my horror literature knowledge. I mostly know him from what other people have gushingly talked about, and his collaboration with current93 and other strange music luminaries, during that time in my life where my love for coil and nurse with wound and the assorted other bands pretty much ruled my life.

He’s spoken of in hushed reverence to the point where I, well, kind of tuned out the talk. But ligotti’s often talked about in a way like he’s a modern Lovecraft - just well without all that nasty baggage that Lovecraft brings to the table.

There’s something about the way people talk about his writing though, it gives me the feeling like I imagine a cat gets when being pet backwards. Ligotti’s often talked about for this kind of arcane nihilism by moody male writers in a way that raises a bunch of alarms. He’s not some edgelord shit, you know? He’s different! We swear!

I can see the potential appeal. I equate darkness and dark topics with trauma, and our ability to process and understand trauma. that’s why particularly violent and upsetting works of art have appealed to me in the past - it’s a method of growing and understanding all the emotions that shared pain brings. Real nihilism is an almost religious experience - you are giving yourself up to nothing, the great emptiness. Instead it’s often packaged with a knowing sneer and an expensive leather jacket. If Ligotti gives off the former and eschews the latter, he’s worth investing in. Coil, the band I was talking about earlier, has its share of pretty awful people who devote a lot of love to the band, and I can separate the band from its fans.  Can I do the same with Songs of a Dead Dreamer and Grimscribe? Well, I’m gonna find out. And I’ll write the reviews here. No particular order or pressure. I’ll probably do the first one, “The Frolic”, tomorrow (spoiler alert - I eyerolled my way through it) and then the next sometime later.  Not going to try to stick to a daily schedule though, it made me hate reading last month.
