Pessimistic Philosophy in Horror: Thomas Ligotti’s Literature

Описание: Discussing the horror literature of Thomas Ligotti – Songs of Dead Dreamer and Grimscribe & The Conspiracy Against the Human Race. I don’t read a lot of horror fiction (only H. P. Lovecraft and Edgar Allan Poe), but the way Ligotti impersonates the human experience with supernatural horror, giving you a taste of philosophical pessimism and existential dread, I’m very curious to explore this genre.
