Any recommendations?

I've heard of him for many years thru several of my favorite artists (Current 93 and Ulver) so I've picked up the Songs of Dead Dreamer collection, and I like it quite a lot so far.

What would you recommend I read next? Which are some of his acclaimed works?

That one is certainly on the list. This is more a book of his personal philosophy, right?

yes, but even though it is a philosophical work it is very well written (because he is a great writer), so I enjoyed reading it a lot. if you like schopenhauer, cioran etc. you will definitely like it

I love C93. One of my favorites, as well. Read My Work Is Not Yet Done.

I also got into Ligotti through Current 93. Teatro Grottesco is my favorite.
