I LOVED Ligotti until I read that long, bizarre essay of his about how the universe is meaningless and there is no god. Even if you are an atheist, you’ll be put to sleep by his endless rehashing of high school-level cliches about meaninglessness.

Almost every talented artist is a completely inept philosopher, because artists mistake their own idiosyncratic emotional landscape for objective, reasoned analysis.

Ligotti, in real life, is probably clinically insane. Not psychotic - simply not in touch with reality.
