When I first discovered Thomas Ligotti’s stories a few years ago I was extremely impressed. At the moment I’m reading the stories in Songs of a Dead Dreamer (very early Ligotti these stories are) and I’m finding them just a tiny bit disappointing. They’re definitely uneven. I thought The Frolic was particularly unimpressive. On the other hand Alice's Last Adventure and Dream of a Mannikin are excellent. They’re both truly weird, and the weirder Ligotti gets the better he is. So does anyone else have any opinions on Ligotti’s work?
