Review
"Ligotti has written another colorful collection of horror stories . . . which spring on the unsuspecting reader the combination of supernatural characters, natural props, and "weird" circumstances . . . snapshots of horror that demonstrate Ligotti's command of language and rich imagination. Starkly colored images keep the reader gasping." Library Journal on Noctuary
Review
"If there were a literary genre called 'philosophical horror,' Thomas Ligotti's Grimscribe would easily fit within it . . . provocative images and a style that is both entertaining and lyrical." New York Times Book Review
