GRIMSCRIBE - FIRST HARD COVER. London: Robinson, 1991. First Edition. 6 X 9. Hard Cover. Fine / Fine. ISBN: 1954870904. Grimscribe is the faceless scientist of nightmare: an addict of the paranormal who relates his awesome adventures to the denizens of a shadow world that is at once half-mad and inescapably ours. In this account of his lives and works, Grimscribe tells us of strange encounters with a multitude of characters and occurences including Friar Sevich, the priest from the old country; the mystics of Muelenberg; the shadow at the bottom of the world and the last feast of Harlequin. It is a masterpiece of psychological unease and a disturbing record of that small slice of the human brain inhabited by demons. In the realms of the supernatural, Tom Ligotti is the master of stylish, eerie writing of the highest quality. This new book confirms his position of the most exciting writer to emerge in horror since Clive Barker.
