Tom Over and 10 other people liked Curtis's review of So Tender a Killer: "Talk about a book with crazy imagery! Every scene feels like it's presented in Fear & Loathing In Las Vegas psychedelic technicolor. "The highway was filled with piles of hot garbage that flung themselves north-east towards the desert, green plastic " Read more of this review »

Rate this book Clear rating 1 of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars James Armstrong shared a highlight from Songs of a Dead Dreamer and Grimscribe by Thomas Ligotti See all James’s notes and highlights for this book And one thing we know is real: horror. It is so real, in fact, that we cannot be sure it could not exist without us. Yes, it needs our imaginations and our consciousness, but it does not ask or require our consent to use them. Indeed, horror operates with complete autonomy. Generating ontological havoc, it is mephitic foam upon which our lives merely float. And, all said, we must face up to it: horror is more real than we are.

“I think of horror films as art, as films of confrontation. Films that make you confront aspects of your own life that are difficult to face. Just because you're making a horror film doesn't mean you can't make an artful film.”
― David Cronenberg
