THOMAS LIGOTTI: DEATH POEMS "CARPE DIEM" PIN/BADGE
Some people have asked where the free badge accompanying this book is to be found. The pin/badge was taped to the bubble-wrap packaging that the book was wrapped in--PLEASE don't throw the wrap away before checking for the badge! Many thanks --DAVID TIBET/DURTRO/godislove

Today I received these words by David Tibet and was asked to put them on-line:
THOMAS LIGOTTI: DEATH POEMS/BOOK-RIBBONS STATEMENT
Those who have received DEATH POEMS may have noticed that there are only two book-ribbons in the book, as against the three book-ribbons advertised on durtro.com. This is NOT an error!
This late change to the book's specifications occurred as I was advised by the printer and binder of the book that three ribbons would be too many to fit neatly into the spine. I was unable to announce this on durtro.com as my webmaster is on holiday, though the site will be updated with this information as soon as he returns. -- David Tibet
 Etwas spät, aber hoffentlich nicht zu spät: Die originale, amerikanische Ligotti-Website TLO (Thomas Ligotti Online) verfügt seit kurzem über ein Forum, wo man mit anderen Ligotti-Aficionados über Werk und Wirken des Meisters diskutieren kann. Auch ansonsten sind umfangreiche Änderungen und Neuheiten auf der Website angesagt, so gibt es z. B. jetzt einen neuen, auf Flash-Technologie basierenden Chat. Unbedingt mal reinschauen: Thomas Ligotti Online >> www.ligotti.net >> click "Nightmare Network"

Somewhat belated but hopefully not too late: The original, first, American Ligotti web site TLO (Thomas Ligotti Online) has now an own forum added where you can discuss works etc. of the maestro and talk to other Ligotti aficionados. And there have been other revisions and more are planned for the future. E.g., there's a new, Flash-based chat engine now, and the proprietors told me they have many ideas in store.
Must give it a look: www.ligotti.net >> click "Nightmare Network"
 New book by Thomas Ligotti: DEATH POEMS - This beautiful and tragic new masterpiece from Thomas Ligotti is published on 1 July, when it will be added to the shop. The book is 80 pages long, and is printed as a cloth-bound deluxe hardback with marbled endpapers and with blocked spine and front and back covers. All page-edges are gilt, and the book has head- and tail-bands and a marker ribbon. This is Durtro's most beautiful publication yet. Each copy of the book comes with a free CARPE DIEM enamel badge made especially for this book. The book is limited to 333 copies and will be priced £33. As with all items in the shop, copies cannot be reserved. (This text was copied from the Durtro Website

CHARNEL WINE, a collection of twenty-three tales of the macabre by Canadian
author Richard Gavin, is now available through Rainfall Books of England.
Here is what Thomas Ligotti had to say about this collection: 'With
the debut of Richard Gavin's first collection, it seems clear that a
renaissance of the horror story has been secretly taking place in the
small presses. These are stories that bear witness to a Golden Age of
the past and evidence a new resolve in the present. Gavin's writing
serves as a testament that great masters once crafted great stories
... and as evidence that they shall do so again.'
CHARNEL WINE is available through www.shocklines.com
or directly from the publisher. For more information contact John B.
Ford (Rainfall Books' proprietor) at John.B.Ford@btinternet.com

Thomas Ligottis I HAVE A SPECIAL PLAN FOR THIS WORLD - eine Sammlung
von 13 Prosagedichten, die leicht von den Texten auf der gleichnamigen
Current 93-CD abweichen - ist in Griechenland als bilinguale Ausgabe
bei Dardanos/Typotheto
erschienen (ca. 40 Seiten, ISBN: 960-402-091-9, Preis: 5,00 Euro).
Der Band enthält die englische Originalfassung und die griechische
Übersetzung sowie ein Nachwort (beides von Katerina Golemi)
und kann unter kyriakos@dardanosnet.gr
bestellt werden.
I HAVE A SPECIAL PLAN... wurde erstmals im April 2000 bei Durtro
Press/UK in einer auf nur 125 Exemplare limitierten, signierten
Auflage veröffentlicht, die natürlich im Nu vergriffen
waren und inzwischen hohe Liebhaberpreise erzielen. Die griechische
Neuauflage bietet Ligotti-Fans nun endlich eine günstige Alternative,
um an diese gesuchten Texte zu kommen.
Thomas Ligotti's I HAVE A SPECIAL PLAN FOR THIS WORLD - a collection
of 13 prose poems that differ slightly from the lyrics on the Current
93 CD with the same title - has been published in Greece as a bilingual
edition at Dardanos/Typotheto
(ca. 40 pages, ISBN ISBN: 960-402-091-9, price: 5,00 EUR.) The volume
contains the English original as well as the Greek translation and
epilogue, both by Katerina Golemi. It can be ordered via email at
kyriakos@dardanosnet.gr.
I HAVE A SPECIAL PLAN... has first been published in April 2000
at Durtro Press/UK in a limited edition of only 125 signed copies,
which were sold out very soon (naturally!). This Greek edition offers
a welcome chance for Ligotti aficionados to get a copy of these
rare texts for a very good price. |

 A new essay by Mark Samuels, author of "The White Hands" and "Black Altars" (see below), has been published in the Wormwood magazine by Tartarus Press. The essay is titled "Everything Ends in a Greater Blackness: Some Remarks on the Fiction of Thomas Ligotti".
