Thomas Ligotti Quotes

When I First Read Lovecraft Around 1971, And Even More So When I Began To Read About His Life, I Immediately Knew That I Wanted To Write Horror Stories. I Had Read Arthur Machen Before I Read Lovecraft, And I Didn't Have That Reaction At All. It Was What I Sensed In Lovecraft's Works And What I Learned About His Myth As The "recluse Of Providence" That Made Me Think, "That's For Me!" I Already Had A Grim View Of Existence, So There Was No Problem There. I Was And Am Agoraphobic, So Being Reclusive Was A Snap. The Only Challenge Was Whether Or Not I Could Actually Write Horror Stories. So I Studied Fiction Writing And Wrote Every Day For Years And Years Until I Started To Get My Stories Accepted By Small Press Magazines. I'm Not Comparing Myself To Lovecraft As A Person Or As A Writer, But The Rough Outline Of His Life Gave Me Something To Aspire To. I Don't Know What Would Have Become Of Me If I Hadn't Discovered Lovecraft.
