My reaction was the opposite. I first read SONGS
OF A DEAD DREAMER because of the Lovecraft comparisons
but I was dissapointed in the book at the time. Then
when I read "Last Feast of Harlequin" in a Cthulhu
Mythos anthology a few years later I re-read the book
and immediately sought out anything else by Ligotti.
bye bye
