Summary

Thomas Ligotti: Diary of the Night

As the fruits of a search in the realms of the night, in Ligotti's notebook we find a bizarre combination of quasi-Buddhist morals, philosophical parables, prose poems and condensed horror stories, i.e. miniatures that the less imaginative and commercially oriented would have inflated to the extent of dozens, if not hundreds of pages. In our writer of darkness, these jewels are torn from the night, from sleep, from insomnia or from the undefined hypnagogic intermediate zone between sleep and wakefulness, as if they were hastily written on the pages of a night diary before they shine before the penetration of light and reason. Again, these gems are not written after all, but are written in a carefully constructed, poetic style that even Poe would not be ashamed of. True, some of these fragments may seem frustratingly unfinished, vague, confusing to the reader who wants plot and story—just as dreams often do. And Ligotti did a great feat by transferring the language of dreams into genre-intoned but genre-transcending prose poetry.
