Have you read him? What's good? Any gaming potential? |

He's amazing. His stuff is unsettling to say the least. I heartily recommend reading anything by him that you can lay hands on. The Shadow at the Bottom of the World and Teatro Grottesco are great anthologies. My Work is Not Yet Done is a novel that was good, but I think reading his short stories first is the way to go. My opinion, anyway. Ligotti writes unlike anyone else I've read (and I read a lot). I first came across his work in horror anthologies; a story here or there. I liked it so much that I bought several anthologies of his work alone (see above). I would say the potential for miniatures gaming based on his work is limited, as the horror is more psychological than anything else. But his work could inspire some pretty creepy RPG sessions for sure. PM me if you want to discuss further. |
