He sucks
>>
>>24733482
He’s comfy and spooky. You on the other hand are not.
>>
>>24733519
He's overwrought and dramatic like a teenage girl. Just like you.
>>
>>24733519
His prose is atrocious
>>
>>24733527
How is he overwrought when most of his stories are barely ten pages
>>
>>24733534
Bro, you can be overwrought with just a few words. It's not about length. Do you know how language works?
>>
>>24733393
the town manager becomes more real every day. Top 10 short stories of all time.
>>
>>24733541
Explain how he is overwrought then.
>>
>>24733574
Man, are you joking? read his fucking words. He makes Lovecraft - who specialized in over-stressing how horrific his creations were - look understated.
Like here's a quote I pulled from goodreads:
>And yet, somehow concealed in the shadows of what you can see is something that is not yet visible, something that is beating like a thunderous pulse and promises still greater visions. All else is merely its membrane enclosing the ultimate thing waiting to be born, preparing for the cataclysm which will be both the beginning and the end. To behold the prelude to this event is an experience of unbearable anticipation, so that ecstasy and dread merge into a new emotion, one corresponding perfectly to the exposure of the ultimate source of all manifestation.
Fucking awful. He is awful, and so are you.

Each line builds on the last. What begins as a shadow grows (like a symphony) line by line into an ‘unbearable experience’. Maybe spend a little less time on tiktok and you’ll have the attention span needed to enjoy a single three line description

Last night I when to bathroom and light when out and after few minutes moonlight came in and suddenly The Bungalow House's dreams on the cassette tape started playing in the air and I truly felt the weird. Fucking Ligotti

IT'S HAPPENING

>>24733393
What's up with this kind of "male lesbian" phenotype? The Dutch?
>>
>>24734051
bet you wouldnt say that to his face
>>
>>24734054
It's not really an insult and no one would gain anything from it; You're right.
>>
>>24733519
He is repetitive and dry
>>
>>24733531
His prose is the one thing about him that stands out compared to the swathes of modern speculative fiction writers.
