Anon, he's a man who uses deep references such as rick and morty and tim burton insults, he clearly knows what he's talking about.

I really enjoyed Teatro Grottesco (especially the last section and the corporate horror pieces) and then went on to read Songs of a Dead Dreamer and Grimscibe but liked neither one. Songs of a Dead Dreamer has a few good pieces but most of them are pretty conventional and thus not interesting, which isn't surprising considering it's one of his collections, while Grimscribe, on the other hand, is too concerned with concepts instead of plot and horror and reads more like some kind of horror Borges. Last Feast of the Harlqeuin is great, though.

Judging by my taste in Ligotti, what else by him should I read?

Weird fiction is the only representation of reality we had since we began to speak and tell stories like "metaphorical" *wink* *wink* nawha-aimean? history by jumping Jesus, a snake big as this, I swear. Argh. Fucking land wastrel without taste, nor the ability to expand his taste beyond the safe ones ... by-god yessush, doesn't stop clean the carpet with his stoney glare, got flesh wearing away tabone and only see 'em himself as penance or somesuch, haha. Fucking clown built himself a pentagone to live inside and s'been hording cannons and doomsday grains since his grandpap first came cross the Aurenlian lands that he believed anyhow, as some such beliefs go, and him too, gone, vanished, and you alone, too engaged to be lonely, too lonely to engage yourself with that past. and if you don't, you're not reading idiot, so yeah, and stuff, and I'm sure this is what you want to hear, but I respect you for your taste
