Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: fine. First and Limited Edition. First hardcover edition, one of 125 copies, octavo size, 101 pp., signed by Thomas Ligotti and Michael Shea. Per Wiki, Thomas Ligotti (b. 1953) "is an American horror author, lay philosopher, and writer. His writings are rooted in several literary genres - most prominently weird fiction - and have been described by critics as works of philosophical horror, often formed into short stories and novellas in the tradition of gothic fiction. The worldview espoused by Ligotti in his fiction and non-fiction has been described as pessimistic and nihilistic. 'The Washington Post' called him 'the best kept secret in contemporary horror fiction'." The nineteen stories in this collection are divided into eight sections: "Three Scientists", "Two Immortals", "Leading Men", "Gothic Heroines", "Loners", "Shut-Ins", "A Poe Anthology", and "The Works & Death of H.P. Lovecraft". ___DESCRIPTION: Bound in full black cloth over boards, decorated vertical rule along the left of the front board stamped in black, publisher's device on the back board stamped in black, red lettering on the front and spine, tipped-in tissue-guarded frontispiece, title page with wide decorative border, the Introduction by Michael Shea in poem form, each story opens with a four-line floriated initial, limitation statement at the colophon, this no. 61 of 140 hardcover copies, signed by both Thomas Ligotti and Michael Shea; binding octavo size (8 1/2" by 5 5/8"), pagination: [i-v] vi-[xiv] [1-2] 3-86 [1, colophon].
