More about the book
Thomas Ligotti, considered "the best-kept secret of contemporary horror literature," is a writer of supernatural fiction who has become a classic. "Noctuary" is a collection of stories grouped into three parts: "Studies of Shadow," "Discourse on Darkness," and "Notebook of the Night." The tales in this "nocturnal diary," written with meticulous care, introduce us to an ominous and deranged universe filled with unhealthy dreams, sinister dolls, and strange devices, as well as hypersensitive and sickly minds. All these ghosts that make up Ligotti's strange world move between light and shadow, dream and wakefulness, the Real and the Unreal. Thus, "Noctuary" is a chronicle of Darkness, a narrative inquiry into the very essence of terror, questioning the foundations upon which reality and reason rest.
