The Conspiracy Against the Human Race by Thomas Ligotti Returns in Paperback

Thomas Ligotti's forceful case against life, The Conspiracy Against the Human Race, has recently re-launched in paperback, thanks to high demand and a decision from Hippocampus Press. After darkening the minds of countless readers and disappearing off the shelves, the hardcover book remained elusive and out-of-print for several months. Look for the affordable new edition to pop up in oppressive coffeehouses and ride along in mysterious backpacks.

Whether you see the glass as half full, or vacant and encrusted with mud, Conspiracy is a thought provoking read from an author who continues to command a serious following in contemporary weird fiction. If the odd copy ever makes it into a second hand bookstore, I suspect it will form one of the strangest philosophic Trojan Horses that an unsuspecting reader could ever encounter.

This paperback edition will surely introduce new readers to Ligotti, and serves as field notes for those who are already positioned against life or wedded to bleak, strange fiction. Read my extended review from 2010, or check out The Conspiracy Against the Human Race on Amazon.
