Ligotti es el mejor escritor vivo de terror... que yo haya leído. Tiene un estilo tan marcado, una facilidad para crear una atmósfera onírica, opresora, salvaje. Sin embargo, se hace denso a veces. Tiene algunos relatos que se escapan a mi comprensión mundana. La traducción es soberbia.

Some of Ligotti’s finest and very little of his less-finest. Also some of his laugh-out-loud funniest and most enjoyable writing. The way this collection ties together in a gradually but solidly overarching whole is something many short-story collections try but few come close to achieving.

Per dire la verità l'ultimo racconto non l'ho propriamente finito di leggere. Cioè, sì, ma il livello di supercazzola è siderale quindi non ho idea di cosa ci fosse scritto o di cosa volesse dire!

Masterful.

This is the best collection of horror I have ever read. It felt as if Ligotti knew my mind - he's made a lifelong fan of me.
