(English description below)
 
Thomas Ligotti er en af weird-litteraturens mest originale og roste forfattere i moderne horror siden H.P. Lovecraft. Dette værk markerer forfatterens første udgivelse på dansk.
 
Teatro Grottesco indeholder 13 ildevarslende noveller, der på hver sin vis introducerer læseren for Ligottis tågesvøbte mareridtsverden. Her regerer kun den gruopvækkende absurditet, der strækker sine lange fingre gennem tomme gader, livsforladte karnevaller og endeløse kontorbygninger – og altid, lige under overfladen, lurer truslen om en afgrundsdyb indsigt, som måske bedst lades uforløst (hvis læseren ønsker at bevare sin sindsligevægt).
 
Thomas Ligotti er kendt for sin nihilistiske og excentriske prosa, hvis atmosfære vækker mindelser om andre mestre af det besynderlige, lige fra Lovecraft til Franz Kafka, David Lynch og Kōbō Abe for blot at nævne nogle få.
 
Novellesamlingen akkompagneres af 13 smukke illustrationer, tegnet af John Kenn Mortensen, der selv nærer en stor forkærlighed for forfatteren.

Thomas Ligotti is one of weird literature's most original and acclaimed writers of modern horror since H.P. Lovecraft. This work marks the author's first publication in Danish. 
 
Teatro Grottesco contains 13 ominous short stories, each of which introduces the reader to Ligotti's fog-shrouded nightmare world. Here reigns only the horrifying absurdity that stretches its long fingers through empty streets, abandoned carnivals and endless office buildings – and always, just below the surface, lurks the threat of an abysmal insight that is perhaps best left unresolved (if the reader wants to maintain his or her equanimity).
 
Thomas Ligotti is known for his nihilistic and eccentric prose, whose atmosphere is reminiscent of other masters of the odd, from Lovecraft to Franz Kafka, David Lynch, and Kōbō Abe, to name but a few. 
 
The short story collection is accompanied by 13 beautiful illustrations, drawn by John Kenn Mortensen, who himself has a great love for the author.
