"The Frolic" is more conventional than most of Ligotti's other work, but I admire it for its imagery and the force of that elegant final line.
Jim When I initially discovered Thomas Ligotti's stories some years back years ago I was extremely impressed. Right now I'm reading the stories in "Songs of a Dead Dreamer" (which is very early Ligotti these stories are) and I'm finding them just a tiny bit disappointing. They're definitely uneven. I thought "The Frolic" was particularly unimpressive. On the other hand "Alice's Last Adventure" and "Dream of a Mannikin" are excellent. Especially "Alice's Last Adventure"! They're both truly weird, and the weirder Ligotti gets the better he is (in my opinion anyway). So what does everyone else think of Ligotti's work?
