KharBevNor:
From the damnable shadows of madness,
From the corpse-ridden hollow of Weir,
Comes a horrible message of gladness,
And a ghost-guided poem of cheer -
And a gloom-spouting pupil of Poe sends the pleasantest wish of the year!
May the ghouls of the neighboring regions,
And the curséd necrophagous things,
Lay aside their dark habits in legions,
For the bliss that Brumalia brings -
And may Druids innum’rable bless thee, as they dance on the moor’s fairy-rings!
So, Galba, may pleasures attend thee
Thro’ all thy bright glorious days;
May the world and the mighty commend thee,
And the cosmos resound with thy praise -
And may all future ages be brilliant with the light of thine intellect’s rays!
Insignificant:
Fungi from Yuggoth. The whole thing. Especially "Alienation".
Speaking of cosmic horror, anyone here a fan of Thomas Ligotti? Ramsey Campbell? T.E.D. Klein?
rynne:
Oh hell yes, Thomas Ligotti. I’ve got everything I can find that doesn’t cost a shit-ton of money: The Shadow at the Bottom of the World compilation, Teatro Grottesco, and My Work Is Not Yet Done. He’s pretty amazing—the only author I’ve come across that can exactly capture the bizarre mix of horror and uncanniness of a nightmare.
As for the other two, I’ve been interested in them but haven’t read anything. What would you recommend as a good introduction?
SonofZ3:
Check out William Hope Hodgson too.

re: Joshi's annotations, where do you think my gibberish black metal project (Ruins of Istakhar) got its name?
