I wrote an article for Current Affairs about the macabre American tradition of riots and deaths on Black Friday, Ligotti's unique relationship to consumerism and nihilism, and how "The Red Tower" may help us make sense of all this. Hope everyone enjoys it! Illustration is by the wonderful Mavis Figuls, a local artist from here in New Orleans.

Black Friday, Red Tower
Every year, Americans hurt and kill each other fighting over Black Friday deals. To understand why, turn to nihilist horror author Thomas Ligotti.
