What are good books to go after him? I've read most of his

David Benatar is an option.

And Philip Mainlander if you know German.

Mainlander is new to me, thanks for the suggestion!

Zapffe is the endgame of pessimism. If you've already read him, don't expect to find anything bleaker, just maybe more effective ways of saying the same thing..

I Zapped The Last Messiah but sadly I can't really find more of his works here that doesn't relate to religious themes and such (i.e. can't freaking get On the Tragic)

You could also read non-fiction; say, about the end of the universe, planet or the worst-case scenarios of climate change.

True, although I've never felt the similarly strong impact with such literature as I did with Cioran, for example

Is there any work besides The Last Messiah that has been translated into English?

>>10005874
Isn't there? That would actually explain why I can't find more of his stuff

Logotti's Conspiracy, while weak in some respects (I still like it), surveys a ton of related literature. It would be a valuable source of recommendations, and a good recommendation in itself.

*Ligotti

Seems interesting, thanks!

Thats the only book I didn'tt finished in years.
If you have already read Zapffe and Schopenhauer theres no point in reading pages of their exerts with no real commentary.

I have tried for a long time to find a translation either in English or Dutch, and I can't seem to find any. Thomas Ligotti himself commented on how he would probably never read one of his "favourite authors", as he didn't speak Norwegian. (you know, the guy from The Human Conspiracy)

That's a bloody shame. Well, maybe ONE day.

Will look into it once I'll have it in my hands. From the sound of the excerpt it feels like nothing new but if it's just a good read, as a refresher, I'll still probably stick my teeth into it.

There's also John Gray.
And I saw a book called Nihil Unbound here sometime, but haven't read it and not sure if it is pessimism.

Heard about it. As I've understood it is mostly a reviews and critiques of Adorno, Heidegger among others. Also, way, way too dense.
