Nacido para el miedo: Entrevistas a Thomas Ligotti
Podemos afirmar sin temor a equivocarnos que, a día de hoy, Thomas Ligotti, nacido en Detroit en 1953, se ha convertido en el maestro de la literatura extraña y de horror de nuestro tiempo, a pesar de su escasa obra. Su pensamiento nihilista radical, puesto de manifiesto en el ensayo La conspiración contra la especie humana –en esta colección–, aporta un tono más genuino y persuasivo a sus perturbadoras pesadillas literarias. Como ocurre con la obra de sus autores favoritos, Poe, Lovecraft, Kafka o Bruno Schulz, la ficción de Ligotti se funde de forma indisoluble con su visión de la existencia.
El lector de este volumen de entrevistas encontrará no solo detalles significativos de la poco conocida biografía de Ligotti, sino todo un tratado sobre el género del horror, sus maestros, su futuro, la inspiración de sus relatos...
«Descubrí que el universo sin sentido y amenazador descrito en los relatos de Lovecraft se correspondía íntimamente con el lugar en el que yo vivía por aquella época, y en el que he vivido desde entonces [...] Unos años más tarde, cuando me interesé por escribir ficción, nunca dudé de que no escribiría otra cosa que relatos de horror», comenta Ligotti sobre sus comienzos.
«Los relatos de Poe no representan el llamado mundo real [...] sino que tienen lugar en un mundo cerrado y anormal. Este aislamiento es quizás el secreto de la atmósfera en las obras de horror [...] cuando sueñas, sientes que no existe nada fuera de tu entorno más cercano», explica.
«Nací para el miedo. Tan sencillo como eso. Como escribe el narrador de mi novela corta Mi trabajo todavía no está acabado: “Siempre he tenido miedo”. Si alguna vez escribiera una autobiografía, la comenzaría con la misma frase», concluye.

About the author
Thomas Ligotti
200 books3,208 followersThomas Ligotti is a contemporary American horror author and reclusive literary cult figure. His writings, while unique in style, have been noted as major continuations of several literary genres—most prominently Lovecraftian horror—and have overall been described as works of "philosophical horror", often written as philosophical novels with a "darker" undertone which is similar to gothic fiction. The Washington Post called him "the best kept secret in contemporary horror fiction"; another critic declared "It's a skilled writer indeed who can suggest a horror so shocking that one is grateful it was kept offstage."

In his introduction to this volume, editor Matt Cardin opines that "Thomas Ligotti is to his interviews as H.P. Lovecraft is to his letters," which, as far as observations go, I would say is on the money. I've always enjoyed Ligotti's interviews, to the extent that a few of them I've actually preferred to some of his stories. This book, which collects 17 of his interviews from the years 1988 to present day, is a great item to have to those who don't like reading interviews on a computer screen (bear in mind, Ligotti's answers to questions can be quite long, even going on for pages at a time, and seeing as how many of the websites that some of his interviews appear on feature white text on a black background, eye strain could sometimes be an issue for me). Having said that, I do have some issues with this book. At only 243 pages, it doesn't feel as exhaustive as it could have been, and I think a 300 page book collecting maybe, say, 20 interviews, would have made it more definitive. The book focuses mostly on interviews from the year 2000 on, with very little from the 1990's (such as David Tibet's 1998 interview, or the "Triangulating the Demon" interview of 1999, which has long been a favorite of mine: I always liked Ligotti's answer of "Sickness of the body and the mind" as to what his muse was, and his rant about his strong dislike for anything in the southern hemisphere). Because most of the interviews are culled from the period where he was writing "The Conspiracy Against the Human Race," the reader is treated to a number of somewhat repetitious discourses on antinatalism, the curse of existence and being, and so forth, a little of which goes a long way. In some regards this could be Ligotti's most depressing book: in his stories, at least, one can admire the craftsmanship of fiction, the artistic metaphors, and so on, which makes his grim view of the world bearable. But in these interviews, one is constantly beaten over the head with it, and stripped of the artifice of art, it can get a little tedious at times (incidentally, his vision of what he thinks would be an ideal world is, to me, almost more nightmarish than any of his fictional efforts).
Far more interesting to me are some of the more irrelevant details, such as how he was usually picked first for sporting events in gym class at school, or how he first came across a copy of an Algernon Blackwood book at a K-Mart, or the image of a stoned Ligotti lying facedown in the grass and giggling to his fellow stoners about how he was fucking the world. The interviews that focus on his approach to writing are quite helpful, and it's always interesting to read his thoughts on writers such as Bruno Schulz, H.P. Lovecraft, and others, some of whom I've never even heard of but which I know I'll have to check out now (though I find his appreciation of the frankly unreadable Samuel Beckett mystifying). Also, his being upfront about how he gleefully steals from writers he admires is admirable. I even like how he can estimate how much fans he probably has (his guess is around 2000).
Finally, I question some of the edits: for example, the 1988 interview from "Dagon" at the very start of the book eliminates the last 4 questions and answers from that interview, which I think is unfortunate because the answers are pretty interesting (such as Ligotti's remark on how he was planning on doing a whole series of stories set in the world of "Vastarien"). Still, despite these quibbles, this is a book that every Ligotti aficionado or lover of weird fiction should have in their collection.

If there were some form of Olympics for nicheness, Born to Fear would be at least a medal contender. This is pretty obviously a book for the most hardcore Ligotti fans or else the most determined collectors of supernatural horror and weird fiction (Hello everyone, is this the support group?). My copy is number 90 of 250 signed hardcovers. The ebook is restricted from sale in Australia so can we please get over this antiquated region-locking nonsense? Ligotti might insist everything is a form of nonsense but that’s decidedly one of my least favourite.
If you’re one of the infinitesimally small number of people this book will appeal to then it’s excellent for what it is. Well, mostly. It’s a little odd that they couldn’t put more effort into copy editing for such a high quality edition and there are far too many odd typos like ‘mmd’ instead of ‘mind’ and ‘whi’ instead of ‘who’. Perhaps they were in the original interviews, but if they had permission to include them then surely they had permission to run a spell check?
The obvious appeal here is to have insight into the mind of a genius in terms of appreciating his own work and gaining context for its deeper appreciation. There is also however much food for thought in Ligotti’s observations on other literary greats and his thoughts on the various permutations of the horror and weird genres. He has a unique perspective on these matters which allows him to identify the crux of questions on literary philosophy and to express his opinions with admirable clarity.
There’s plenty of talk about the obvious names here, including Arthur Machen, Algernon Blackwood and M.R. James. He spends rather more time however on his most important influences, which are perhaps less immediately obvious to many of his readers. These include Vladimir Nabokov, Thomas Bernhard, William S. Burroughs, Emil Cioran, Jose Luis Borges, Franz Kafka and Bruno Schulz among others. He also discusses some of his contemporaries and immediate predecessors such as T.E.D. Klein and Ramsey Campbell.
Above all though, he likes to discuss his two ‘idols’ Poe and Lovecraft and especially the latter. Oh boy, does he ever bang on about Lovecraft. Not that I mind of course. Heck, this is exactly the kind of thing I want more of. It all serves to illustrate the extent to which the two authors were on the same page philosophically and artistically, or at least in the same book. One might say Ligotti has written the next chapter.
Also to be found is a substantial emphasis on his general worldviews which, while not explicitly literary, undoubtedly inform every line of his prose. At length he discusses his philosophies on pessimism, anti-natalism, determinism, nihilism, atheism, socialism and liberalism. One shan’t go short on ‘isms’ reading this book. There’s plenty with which I disagree but it’s intriguing to witness such an uncommon mind express itself so calculatedly.
In the unlikely event that this book interests you then I recommend it.

La valutazione bassa non si riferisce ai notevoli contenuti (determinati dal pensiero di Ligotti in merito alla vita, letteratura, arte etc.) ma al progetto di questo libro (versione americana, IlSaggiatore ha solo tradotto): una serie di interviste organizzate secondo dubbi (poiché quasi inesistenti) criteri. Il mancato impegno nella strutturazione di questo libro porta ad una ripetizione imbarazzante delle stesse domande, ad un deja-vu continuo che stanca velocemente il lettore.
Per il resto è un testo pieno di spunti interessanti, forse un po' troppo gemello bastardo de La cospirazione contro la razza umana, ma comunque un libro valido che ci illustra il pensiero di Ligotti e la sua "stronzaggine": "Igiene dell'assassino" in the real life, lo definirei io. Per appassionati di Ligotti o per chi non lo conosce ancora, una droga che, nonostante si divori, andrebbe letta, per i suoi problemi, a spizzichi e bocconi.

January 6, 2020"Probabilmente, il fattore più importante tra quelli che mi hanno avvicinato alla scrittura in generale è l’esaurimento a cui accennavo prima. È successo nell’agosto del 1970, per colpa del consumo massiccio di droga e alcol, che in ogni caso hanno fatto solo da catalizzatori a un destino che prima o poi mi sarebbe toccato, ipersensibile e lunatico com’ero. Prima non mi interessava né leggere né scrivere, sebbene a scuola riuscissi bene in entrambe le cose; dopo, leggere e scrivere è diventato l’unico modo in cui riuscivo ad alterare il mio stato mentale senza avere paura, o perlomeno quella paura estrema, di perdere completamente il senno. La mia malattia si chiama agorafobia; in parte è ereditaria e continuo a sperimentarne i sintomi, tra i quali gli attacchi di panico e un generico senso di irrealtà."
ps. non sono sicura che l'agorafobia si possa definire ereditaria...e il senso di irrealtà è un sintomo assai serio, molto più degli attacchi di panico...my two cents

Ligotti's writing is much more interesting than Ligotti the writer. Anyone who has read more than maybe three of Ligotti's stories, especially his best-known ones, can easily grasp that Ligotti is an anti-life nihilist who suffers from depression, anxiety and a gastrointestinal disorder. He lays this out pretty transparently in everything he writes, regardless of its fictional setting or characters. As such, interviews with the author have little to add but a repetition of this same bleakness. Ligotti is a man who doesn't like anything: food, reading, television, movies, even writing itself. His life is a slog, and reading too many interviews with him can be a slog too. By all means, stick to the literature.

You've gotta know Ligotti. The Grand Decipherer. Read his other works first, however, as a primer.
Suffice to say, in one interview, he actually proves why we can't blame murderers for their crimes, or anyone else for anything. Of course, being human beings, we find it difficult to accept that counterintuitive abdication of moral responsibility-- but that doesn't make it any less valid. We all must believe in free will, because we have no other choice.

If you read the subtitle on this and become interested I can almost guarantee you will enjoy this book. If on the other hand you have to look up Thomas Ligotti before you know what this is, I would recommend you read a collection or two of his work before coming back to this if you’re still interested.

Somewhat humanises Ligotti whilst further exploring both his philosophy and his thoughts on the horror genre. Full review: https://fakegeekboy.wordpress.com/201...

Ottima raccolta di interviste dello scrittore weird antinatalista Ligotti. Una persona intelligente, sagace e acculturata. Si parla di letteratura, filosofia, orrore esistenziale e anedonia. Una buona lettura per chi condivide il paradigma di Ligotti. Tutti gli altri possono astenersi.

Come for discussions on literature, pessimism, decay, and darkness. Stay for an appraisal of hit 1989 Judd Nelson serial killer film RELENTLESS.

Wow. I can't believe my first two-star rating is a Thomas Ligotti book. It kind of blows my mind. The man is a five-star author all around; a unique, wonderful voice in modern weird fiction. I was so excited to receive it, expecting to eagerly devour it at once. The book was too damn long. Of all publishers Subterranean Press should have known better; the editing created a book where we hear the author simply repeat himself over and over again. The book would have been very good if it were cut down by half, or even 75%. Or maybe cull through the volume, pick out the best questions and answers from the various interviews and release it as a chapbook. But as it is "Born to Fear" is numbingly repetitive. After I got through about half of it I caught my self skimming, or simply skipping entire paragraphs or even pages. Each chapter is a different interview with Ligotti from a different magazine or website. Predictably many of the questions are the same or similar; and, predictably, Ligotti's answers are the same or similar. Through no fault of his own, you get sick of hearing the man talk. There are only so many times I can read variations on phrases such as "I really don't like the idea that this world, or any world, exists at all. However, what I mean in saying this is that I don't like the fact that I exist or ever existed", or "Being something of a pessimist I tend to think, in those rare moments when I really think, that existence by its nature is evil. And nothing is good." And I started to get really bored with him talking about Lovecraft, Poe, Burroughs and a handful of other more obscure writers. Apparently - though in some interviews you can tell that he is amazingly well read in weird fiction - those are the only writers he admits had any influence on him. And when interviewers predictably ask him what he reads, he goes on about those same authors - In just about every interview! Redundant and repetitive. And by no fault of Ligotti. Again, if the book was edited by picking a unique question or two from each interview - and there are quite a few of them - and then stringing them together to create a picture of this unusual man, it could have been a brilliant, indispensable book. But instead we get 243 pages of a man talking how much he has no opinion on anything, and then prattles on with some long opinion. It grates on you.
I'm just glad I got this book at an unusually cheap price and did not pay cover-price of 40$. Still, as an avid book collector, it is a welcome addition to my Ligotti and Subterranean Press collections. And also a reference for my overall horror/ weird fiction collection.

Absorbente libro de entrevistas donde Matt Cardin y otros plantean diferentes preguntas al autor más esquivo del terror actual. Ligotti se nos presenta como un ser asocial similar a sus reverenciados Poe o Lovecraft. Una persona que ha lidiado con muchos problemas mentales: anhedonia, ansiedad, pánico o depresión que me temo que han influenciado no solo su obra sino también su vida y su manera de ver el mundo.
En este libro tenemos el desglose de sus principales influencias literarias: Bruno Schulz, Thomas Bernhard, Kafka,Poe,Lovecraft, Danilo Kis, Nabokov o Géza Csáth son algunos que Ligotti describe con pasión.
También hay momentos para el nihilismo y el antinatalismo, filosofias ligottianas que el autor nos justifica y que dan ese punto de locura sin el qual este autor sería uno más de los miles que escriben terror actualmente. Ligotti es un clásico, como Poe o Lovecraft y al igual que ellos es un outsider, alguien fuera de la sociedad o que la soporta como puede. Este libro es una magnífica manera de entrar en su psique y se lee como una conversación con el autor, La verdad es que habiendo leído toda su obra exceptuando La conspiración contra la especie humana, me parece un gran trabajo de Matt Cardin. Tanto a Matt Cardin como a Ligotti les pido que no dejen de escribir ya que me parecen de lo mejorcito del panorama actual y se prodigan muy poquito.
No sé si me leeré La conspiración contra la especie humana porque es un libro muy deprimente pero si que me releeré los relatos de Ligotti algún dia. Y eso sólo lo he hecho con dos escritores de terror en mi vida. Adivinan? Si, Poe y Lovecraft.

No puedo ser objetivo con este escritor. Es una debilidad que tengo debido a las similitudes de su personalidad con la mía (su experiencia de lo que implica estar vivo).
Las entrevistas tienen mucho contenido interesante para el aspirante a escritor que desee conocer los entresijos del arte de Ligotti a la hora de componer relatos. Menciona todas sus influencias literarias, algunas cinematográficas y pocas de otras artes.
Creo que no están todas las entrevistas existentes hasta la fecha (año 2.025). He leído algunas posteriores al año de la edición original en inglés y en estas últimas noté que los entrevistadores tenían una curiosidad más enfocada hacia la vida privada del elusivo autor. Creo que en esta esfera también hay algo de su filosofía personal que puede resultar interesante para alguien con los mismos síntomas clínicos con los que está diagnosticado (y hasta parece orgulloso de padecerlos).
A pesar de esto último el libro es una puerta de acceso a la visión personalísima e idiosincrática del autor más original que se puede encontrar al día de hoy en el mercado del entretenimiento literario.

Allora...
Questo libro è un 5 stelle nel senso che non si poteva non comprare e metterlo insieme agli altri Ligotti de il Saggiatore.
Per il resto è un due stelle. Domande e risposte, generalmente, sono poco interessanti e poco rilevanti. Semplicemente forse Ligotti non è un animale da intervista e gli intervistatori non sono comunque particolarmente brillanti. Ovviamente è da un'intervista che sembra essere nato la Cospirazione contro la razza umana e ok, bene, ottimo aneddoto ma finito il momento eziologico rimane un contenuto non davvero importante per comprende o arricchire la propria conoscenza di Ligotti... che è di base un normalone.
Semplicemente non è un Burroughs, nel meraviglioso librone di interviste del Saggiatore e Ligotti non è neanche Ballard, in quell'opera insuperabile che è Extreme Metaphors.
metto 3 stelle ma sono un due e mezzo.
