Ligotti reader here. Previously I mentioned how I was somewhat underwhelmed with the Songs of the Dead Dreamer collection which currently I'm still working through and since I had some extra time today I decided to skip ahead a bit and go for a seemingly well regarded story in Grimscribe titled, "The Last Feast of Harlequin". Going in I wasn't aware it was a sort of ode to Lovecraft but I can confidently say its my favorite story of this type not written by the man himself. In truth I was genuinely very impressed and now I'm eager to dive further into this more mature collection, though for now I'll double back to finish his first set which is starting to feel like somewhat interesting juvenilia by comparison (it does have its moments though, Alice's Last Adventure was rather amusing).
