I've started reading Jean Lorrain's The Soul Drinker and Other Decadent Fantasies, only one story in, but liking it so far.

Re: Recent Reading

Re: Recent Reading
Agree 100 percent on Evenson and Gavin contributions. I like most everything these wonderful writers do, and Gavin's "Neithernor" was particularly good. Very mannered and proper in an Aickman way...

Re: Thomas Ligotti Online - 20 Year Anniversary
20 years! That completely boggles my mind! It is comforting to read that a community such as this can stay thriving for such a long time. I have only been here a couple of months and I am thoroughly...

Re: Thomas Ligotti Online - 20 Year Anniversary
It seems flatly impossible that we've been here twenty years, and yet here we are, and there's 1998 growing ever smaller and more distant in the rearview mirror.
I could say a lot, because TLO has...

After discovering, Ligotti’s work back in 1991, I felt like the only reader alive who had a profound connection with his fiction. And I wanted to...

Re: The X-Files script that was too bleak to air
