Ah, blissy, I'm heartened to see that my clarifications have had some salutary effect on your understanding of Bernhard's oeuvre. However, I must confess that I find it rather galling that you still persist in equating 'scary' with some sort of visceral, affective response, as if the true terror of Ligotti's work lay not in its profound philosophical and psychological insights, but merely in its ability to elicit a Pavlovian shriek. Does this reductionist approach to horror truly satisfy your own aesthetic appetites?
