really great. history, comix, practical apps, and a new novel from alan all in one book

only just started but looks amazing. proper follow up to promethea's teaching, moores grimoire was first talked about in like 08 so to finally have it is something special. will keep me reading for months, this is a TOME

just finished these brilliant essays. on to the Gazetteer!

finished volume 1 on boxing day 2022

this is awesome and not at once. 200p in and i feel like arthur's voice is buried between all these other facts about the downtown scene. its thoroughly researched, i'll give it that.

i've had this shelved for more than a year, need to get back to it proper, but flipping thru it shows the quality of the plates here! just dope

becoming an all time favorite
i've ordered a private hardback edition, without isbn, so i won't log /it/ exactly, but its twin from 'zon, when i go into that ver

this has been toilet reading for years. i'm now about half way through? some great bands among a bunch of dreck but i like the way most of the editors write. hmu for rec's if you just want to hear the highlights.

what would the soul of an owl look like?

a few retreads so far but the names of the latter stories aren't familiar. i'm hoping for high stimulation from the title track.

still loving it, but b. has a lot to wrap up in a couple hundred pages. hoping for the best.

wtf is this building to? (in a good way)

excellent so far, and they're not even to the treeline~

full review in time

"this will be very hard for you"

oh lucia i am so sorry i had no idea what i was getting into

Bunyan's afterlife; Satanic flight and encouragement for life, childish hideouts in the soiled wardrobe; the attics of breath; the grey ghost-seam; ghost storms, ghost drunks, stoles of putrefaction, WWE angle fight; suicide bombers are allowed up here, too; Cromwell and The Great Fire; 17th cent. free will smack-talk: this is the real Lost Boys (and Girl)

this is rough going, but soo good. everything i've wanted so far, perspectives from 6 angles (much more on that inside) and the prose....mmmnnm goddamn wow. connections are being made; i'm thinking of this during my day-to-day and its pretty engrossing so far.

not sure what i'm getting into here; at 25pp/hr--i'll see you at xmas!

this page hit all the right points for me and it was hard not to get choked up on it.

goddamn this is probably the most brilliant set of stories i've read from ligotti. it has two stories i have in other comps but even assuming the last two stories are duds this would still be certifiable in the illest regard. full review later i think.
