P. Lovecraft’s influence on Ligotti’s work and thought, the nature of horror in such celebrated tales as “Nethescurial” and “The Bungalow House,” and other phases of the work of this master of the weird. And in a wide array of interviews, Cardin provides insight into his own vision and outlook, which have served as the basis of his weird tales.But Cardin is best known as a critic who has brought a formidable knowledge of philosophy and religion to the analysis of horror fiction.

In these and other papers, Matt Cardin displays his effortless mastery of the many complex issues evoked by the very nature of the weird tale. “This is the perfect companion piece to Matt Cardin’s fiction omnibus To Rouse Leviathan.”—Jon Padgett, author of THE SECRET OF VENTRILOQUISM “For my money, Matt Cardin is the most interesting voice in horror criticism of our time.”—Nathan Ballingrud, author of NORTH AMERICAN LAKE MONSTERS and WOUNDSWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
