Ligotti, pessimism, religion, and horror. My interview for Rue Morgue magazine
Rue Morgue published an article on my What the Daemon Said in its recent/current November-December issue. I gave an interview for the piece (to Dejan Ognjanovic, whom I believe is known to many of you around here). Only portions of it appear in the final product. So, here is the full text of my remarks (see the link at bottom), touching on my early response to Tom's work, the question of whether horror fiction serves as a Trojan Horse for pessimism, and the deep nature of the connection between horror and religion.

This is wonderful, as I fully expected! | |||||||||||
"Thomas Ligotti is a master of a different order, practically a different species. He probably couldn’t fake it if he tried, and he never tries. He writes like horror incarnate.”
