Ever since the first edition of Thomas Ligotti's 'Songs of a Dead Dreamer' appeared in 1985, it was clear that here was an author of extraordinary brilliance and originality. In following years there has been a great deal of interest in the author and his works, although, until now, articles about him have mostly been scattered in obscure journals. Now, at last, here is a book about him, a symposium of explorations and examinations of the Ligottian universe by such leading critics as S.T. Joshi, Stefan Dzimianowicz, Robert M. Price. With a complete, up-to-date bibliography of Ligotti's work, two interviews with him, and even a fascinating essay by Ligotti himself.

This review is from: The Thomas Ligotti Reader (Paperback)
If you purchase this book hoping to find out more about the personal life of Thomas Ligotti, you're out of luck. His interviews are as enigmatic and mind boggling as ever, his brilliant essay (hilariously defaming the mystique of the vampire) and a few mild speculations on 'how Ligotti came to be Ligotti' make the book worth reading. Anyone who is an avid fan of Ligotti will instantly recognize Matt Cardin's poignant essays, analysis of his stories, and longstanding interviews such as "Disillusionment Can Be Glamorous". Perhaps the highlight of the book is David Tibet's short but sweet essay on his personal relationship with Ligotti, including an excerpt from an amusing letter which Ligotti apparently wrote after watching the horrible "Mars Attacks". All in all, this is more than worth buying and putting in one's personal library along with Lovecraft's letters, Poe's stories, as are the rest of Ligotti's masterpieces.
