For me Ligotti is among the most imaginative writers ever to grace fiction. Just as talented in the details and point of view as Octavia Butler, Phillip K Dick, Ursula K Le Guin, M John Harrison, China Mieville, Jeff Vandermeer, Thomas Pynchon, Italo Calvino, and Jorge Luis Borges. They're all very careful how they play characters off setting and leave just enough out to let you play around with your own ideas.

Thinking bout that death nonsense

Those people who say that this story is a mockery of racist prejudice don't really understand what Thomas Ligotti is. This is a rather lazy and vulgar interpretation, in the spirit of modern mass media.

Once you let them Smalls move in next door, they ruin all the property valyuhz.

Play this at 1.25 speed and it is a good narration thanks for uploading this man

Thanks for the reading! 😊

Very good!!

This reader's voice is exactly what I hear when I read Ligotti. Sharp, literary, and totally unhinged. He absolutely nails every demented phrasing

I love the way you smack your huge lips

It's par for the course, but I similarly dont like it when artists speak for themselves, i find it enormously destabilizing to the artist's body of work and the 'relationship' I've developed with the artist through their work.

Is Property Tax legal?

Great story, thanks. I hate to be bitchy but coulf i suggest that you read a teensy bit quicker, like dont drag the words out quite so much. Im sorry, i hate seeming ungrateful, im not.

Candy land

What is life but outrageous nonsense?

I think this story is far more subversive than it's given credit for

Disgusting voice and disgusting reading.

Who's reading it?

Les fluès? How can you mess up pronounciation worse than japanese speaking english 😭

sounds like someone worked an insurance company during the great smog of london ;-]

Commencement" by Joanna Parypinski. This is a marvelous book and YOU are a Marvelous reader. Commencement" by Joanna Parypinski.Your perfect style of reading is perfect for Thomas Ligotti and on these Ligottian Weird Fiction by Other Authors I enter as easily as Ligotti, B.T.Y. I am 73 and getting senile, my tenuris grip on life depends on books.

This is pure genius ~and WeirdFictionFan666 is The Perfect Reader! I usually awoke from such a dream in a state of agitated annoyance both with the deranged experience I had just undergone and with my ranking as a defective human being which is to say a human being as Shh as a dreaming organism I had long ago abandoned obsessing over scenarios and details of a symbolic standing tediously auditing that which I allowed

The narrator is an autistic neurotic, like Ligotti himself. He met his match in this story, though: another neurotic autistic. Two ret@rds trying to hump a doorknob. I bet they are "alchemists", too.

Hey Sister how you doing? When are you coming to Texas again? Daddy is dead so he won't molestate you no more.

You should ask the farmer how it is farmers are enjoying record net income under the Biden administration.

This narrator sounds like Damon Verial.

There's nothing like having a Ligotti reading interrupted by the omnipresent ukuleles n' cvckenspiel chimes of an incredibly timely, wanted, needed, relevant and enjoyable advertisement. Oh Google. How sweet of you. Since your AI seems to swing that way, I think I'll sing it some theatre major treacle. To mock it. As I harm it. In front. Of you. Twinkley dinkely a-hipsterydoo / why are the corvids now circling vouz?

Both HBO and True Detective’s creator have responded to allegations of plagiarism. Nic Pizzolatto has been accused of lifting dialogue from horror novelist Thomas Ligotti for character Rust Cohle’s (Matthew McConaughey) philosophical musings. “True Detective is a work of exceptional originality and the story, plot, characters and dialogue are that of Nic Pizzolatto,” HBO said in a statement, according to Entertainment Weekly. “Philosophical concepts are free for anyone to use, including writers of fiction, and there have been many such examples in the past. Exploring and engaging with ideas and themes that philosophers and novelists have wrestled with over time is one of the show’s many strengths-we stand by the show, its writing and Nic Pizzolatto entirely.” Writer Pizzolatto followed up with his own denial. “Nothing in the television show True Detective was plagiarized,” the writer said. “The philosophical thoughts expressed by Rust Cohle do not represent any thought or idea unique to any one author; rather, these are the philosophical tenets of a pessimistic, anti-natalist philosophy with an historic tradition, including Arthur Schopenhauer, Friedrich Nietzsche, E.M. Cioran and various other philosophers, all of whom express these ideas. As an autodidact pessimist, Cohle speaks toward that philosophy with erudition and in his own words. The ideas within this philosophy are certainly not exclusive to any writer.” Pizzolatto has previously said that the works of Ligotti and others have been an inspiration to him.

*MENES: The Hands of Fate*

Hot dogs dipped in mayonaise anyone? Vile.

I could really go for some of that euthanasia by anesthesia.

Git on down there with them Smalls and help carry our... wait, you're one of them, aintcher? Guddamn passers.

Take a shot every time he mentions my good ol pal... Alb Indus.

This is based on a true story.

The families of Ralph Yarl & Kailyn Gillis never once did anything to deserve this grief. The countless families of children murdered by guns are never going understand why we, as a country, chose to sacrifice their kids for the Republicans sake. If there is a hell, we’re there. Mar 30 Sadé - John's sister. Fundamentally Black @Sadenochill · 20h Our government watches children be murdered by guns, & does nothing for poverty, but has the energy to attack trans children. This Country is so sick. Are the protestors at the Tennessee Capitol armed? Are they disrupting certification of a democratic election? No, because what you have is a legitimate protest protected by the First Amendment. So cut the cutesy, flip bullshit before more innocent children are murdered by guns.

I have never liked this Much: however IT IS REAL in 2023. Michelle @Michell33650674 Apr 8 IF YOU WORRY ABOUT YOUR CHILDREN BEING MURDERED IN SCHOOL BY MASS SHOOTERS, YOU NEED TO STOP VOTING REPUBLICAN! Only Republicans prevent reasonable gun restrictions and the banning of AR-15's! How can you not understand that?

This is a fantastic narration...when you say "Apex predator..like me" I laughed my head off...thanks for this love your work.

wee woo money not real weewoo

What is this picture? Is this a real location?

"To be a head on a stick, held in the wooden hand of Mrs. Pyk... forever. Forever."

My life is filled with extraordinary nonsense

I keep coming back she root of evil is greed indeed and greed makes me listen to these readings, Bravo!

I really don't like it when academics talk about artists whose work I enjoy
