CONVERSATIONS IN A DEAD LANGUAGE by Thomas Ligotti

Ligotti's other Halloween story--besides Alice's Last Adventure--well before the holiday arrives this coming fall. Couldn't help it. A subscriber prompted me to read and consider it, and I just did so too soon, I guess. It's a splendid one.

This is the final "definitive" version (2011) from the NOCTUARY collection. Excuse the slight frog in my throat at the start when I read the title. Forgot to re-record that bit before finalizing this recording. Kind of like the blemish anyway.....
