The Red Tower by Thomas Ligotti

[@csj9619]

I still have one of those artificial hands that grow fingernails. My dog brought it home a while back. I never knew where it came from until listening to this.

[@CosmiaNebula]

does the Red Tower have same-day delivery?

[@grimscribe6454]

After they hooked up with Amazon they lost their edge. Good to have Prime though, with the closet or junk-pile option as well.

this is the coolest fucking thing I've ever heard

[@grimscribe6454]

Well thanks!

[@palmsofourhands]

@@grimscribe6454 :) just uncovering Ligotti after hearing about him a few weeks ago so fun - it feels like Borges oversees the animation of a Frankenstein-ghost-mutant-baby discreetly made out of the mangled flesh of Umberto Eco, Kafka, and of course Lovecraft

​@@palmsofourhands Great way of putting it! The mental image seems kind of right

[@tietjen666]

Another great addition to your channel. Your pacing is spot on. This story clung to my mind. It is difficult to leave. Thank you!

[@grimscribe6454]

Thanks so much! I really appreciate it. More coming soon

[@tietjen666]

@@grimscribe6454 I'm sure you get too many requests. However, I gotta ask: The Chymist?

Thank you!

Is it an allegory of cancer?

[@joelclark5458]

Only that most hideous of cancers; the one that insists that we love and defend it, that categoric malignancy that we call "life"

[@mendelovitch]

@@joelclark5458 I think Thomas Ligotti is a genius and that his works are beautiful, but after listening to and reading a bunch of his works, a wave of melancholy washed me away and I decided to avoid his works for the foreseeable future.

[@Geospasmic]

I was thinking it might be a zit

[@mendelovitch]

@@Geospasmic Oh? Now that's depressing… ;p
