Any other character- and personality driven Ligotti stories like ''The Spectacles in the Drawer''? He's at his funniest when depicting caricatures like Plomb in the aforementioned story.
I bought one of his books but never read it.
If I've already read Schopenhauer, Cioran, Mainlander and Zapffe, is there any point in me checking out Ligotti or is he just reruns
>>24919689Ligotti is a horror fiction writer not a philosopher.
>>24919728I know. Now answer the question.
>>24919739No your question is stupid.
>>24919778>i haven't read any of themThat's fine, maybe someone smart will find this thread and answer it for me.
I've read The Red Tower, and The Last Feast of Harlequin. Didn't enjoy either that much honestly. I did buy a copy of Songs of a Dead Dreamer/Grimmscribe though, is that better?
>>24921310Noctuary is his best collection but is one of the harder ones to get ahold of
>>24918078My Work Is Not Yet Done is his most character driven story (it's a novella). Maybe you'll find it funny. It's full of seething misanthropy.
>>24918078What about Teatro Grottesco? Is it a good start?
>>24920946Not that anon but he’s right, your question is stupid. He writes fiction so if you find value in pessimistic philosophy presented as horror literature then he’s worth reading, if not then he isn’t worth it. But the fact that you need others to tell you this because you can’t figure it out yourself means you’re a complete retard.
