They blow them up by feeding them bombs, and then Kevin Bacon tricks the last one into falling down a cliff.

Teatro Grottesco by Thomas Ligotti.
I don't quite get what everybody seems to be so excited about. Those short stories, while pretty well written, remind me of my teenage attempts to channel Kafka. Much less sucky than that, the guy has talent, but ultimately not very satisfying.

I always make a point of reading some classic horror at this time of year. Last year, it was The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Currently, it's Dracula, which is (so far) hands down one of the best books I've ever read.

NOBODY SPOIL IT BECAUSE I HAVE NOT YET FINISHED THE BOOK.

Spoiler for Where I am:

That's the only one of his that I've read, but yes it is really great. Take what he says with a shakerful of salt though.

RebelliousTaco · 10-20-2015, 10:47 PM

I know people that are huge fans of all his stuff, this just seemed like a good place to start being his most popular. The Merry Pranksters were awesome though, i wish i was alive at that time to be part of that

I was terribly disappointed by Dracula.
The beginning is awesome, but at some point it just gets messy, sappy and annoying.
But see for yourself.

But I ****ing loved The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. What an awesome book. Too bad literally everyone knows they are the same person. It must have been such a mindblowing twist for readers back then.
