Can we get a thread on Ligotti? Favorite works? Any idea of what it's supposed to mean besides crushing nihilism and clowns?

Tbh there are too many favorites to recount.
This is from The Spectacles in the Drawer 'Even the most esoteric ecstasy, when it comes down to it, requires the prop of vulgar pain in order to stand up as an experience. Having acknowledged the truth, however provisional, and the reality, if subject to mutation, of all the strange things in the universe - whether known, unknown, or merely suspected - one is left with no recourse than to conclude that none of them makes any difference, that such marvels change nothing: our experience remains the same. The gallery of human sensations that existed in prehistory is identical to the one that faces each life today, that will continue to face each new life as it enters this world... and then looks beyond it.'
