Which is to the good, if you ask me. <BR/><BR/>Ligotti apparently never read a lot until he was perhaps in his 20s and randomly picked up a horror book at a drug store. He was hooked tothe genre, and it was HPL who clinched the deal JPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01544406500208399638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6501457.post-81502826589904421782007-03-02T15:16:00.000+08:002007-03-02T15:16:00.000+08:00Heh yeh I consider myself lucky in finding these t...Heh yeh I consider myself lucky in finding these things (or in Ligotti's case, Booktopia bringing it here). <BR/><BR/>Strangely enough, both Ligotti and Klein supposedly have some writerly ties to Lovecraft.
