the shadow at the bottom of the world
Every story plays like an unholy amalgam of deeply nihilistic philosophy, poetic prose, and fantastic genre storytelling, every one of which bleeds into the effectiveness of the others to create the most deeply affecting and unforgettable collection of shorts I've read since I picked up King's.

The stories for the most part were interesting if basically all about the same thing. My only complaint is that the cover of the book, while fine in itself, is somewhat cheesy-looking for a Ligotti book; seems evocative of Christ and the Wizard of Oz all in one. There was a problem loading your book clubs.
short stories w/hints of poe and lovecraft but far more haunting and unsettling. Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2012. Summing up his output from the early and overtly Poe-influenced "Songs of a Dead Dreamer," up to his increasingly concrete and. I first encountered Ligotti's writing in the "Call of Cthulhu" series as "The Last Feast of the Harliquin" (included in this book) and "The Sect of the Idiot" (unfortunately not included in this book). coll: Daniel Govar : The Shadow at the Bottom of the World: 2006-05-00: Thomas Ligotti: Subterranean Press: 1-59606-057-3: $50.00: 270 hc? I picked up a copy of the short story collection Teatro Grottesco and devoured it.

That brought these writers a well deserved exposure to a mass audience. Welcome back. I think you have to read them to understand, because I think each reader is going to find something that resonates on an individual level. Various inanimate objects, including a scarecrow, appear to come to life and move of their own accord, and even the human inhabitants begin to fall under its malevolent influence, spelling doom for any hapless travelers unfortunate enough to stumble upon the accursed place. Trade paperback. A great selection of Ligotti's stories from his four volumes of published work. Very well done, and highly recommended, although mainstream horror readers may not like it because there are no gory parts or whatever it is that a lot of modern horror fiction readers are looking for.
