Yeah, it's a must-buy for me.

Yes, I saw this pop up on Amazon. There's a Charles Beaumont volume due as well.

Our favorite genre is so... respectable these days.

One for the trivia buffs: the cover artist for the Ligotti volume is Chris Mars, who fans of 80s post-punk/alternative rock will remember as the drummer for The Replacements.

Yeah, I saw the Beaumont book, too. That sounds extremely promising as well.

An article on and an interview with (respectively) Thomas Ligotti from The Wall Street Journal's website:

(Sorry, but it still seems strange to type "Thomas Ligotti" and "The Wall Street Journal" in the same sentence.)
