Thomas Ligotti Collections to be Reprinted

Close on the heels of mass market paperback releases of Teatro Grottesco and My Work Is Not Yet Done is Subterranean Press' announcement that they will reprint several full story collections by Thomas Ligotti. Early indications suggest the books will be durable hardcovers with Ligotti's signature--good items for thumbing through and collecting. The official announcement came in this snippet from their website:

We’ve just reached agreement with Thomas Ligotti to produce limited editions of a number of his classic works, beginning with a signed hardcover of Songs of a Dead Dreamer next year. We look forward to offering readers and collectors new sturdy editions of that classic title as well as Grimscribe, Noctuary, and others.

When combining these reprints with the two paperbacks put out by Virgin (Teatro Grottesco and My Work Is Not Yet Done), almost all of Ligotti's fiction will once again be easily accessible and relatively affordable. It appears this architect of the modern weird tale will have some of his obscurity dissipated with these new books--since it solves the worst conundrum for the prospective Ligotti reader of finding and purchasing his work. The timing is also nice if his non-fiction work of philosophy, The Conspiracy Against the Human Race, hits shelves somewhere in the midst of the Subterranean Press reprints. Thomas Ligotti is reportedly still hard at work on this pessimist tract, and it likely won't appear until it has satisfied his refined standards.
