Thomas Ligotti is an American horror writer widely considered the greatest living writer in the tradition of Lovecraftian cosmic horror. His short stories, collected in The Nightmare Factory and Teatro Grottesco, deploy an uncompromising philosophical pessimism as the engine for genuinely terrifying supernatural fiction.
