![]() ![]() With more than 1,500 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Ligotti's stories are adapted by writers Stuart Moore and Joe Harris and Ligotti.įor more than sixty-five years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. Like the greatest writers of cosmic horror, Ligotti bends reality until it cracks, opening fissures through which he invites us to gaze on the unsettling darkness of the abyss below. His raw and experimental work lays bare the unimportance of our world and the sickening madness of the human condition. Ligotti’s stories take on decaying cities and lurid dreamscapes in a style ranging from rich, ornamental prose to cold, clinical detachment. Influenced by the strange terrors of Lovecraft and Poe and by the brutal absurdity of Kafka, Ligotti eschews cheap, gory thrills for his own brand of horror, which shocks at the deepest, existential, levels.
