It's a lot more varied than the Lovecraftian fustor that we were attributing to Ligotti earlier; the stories are also intercut with little essays and meditations on the nature of horror writing and how to do it. Some of it is actual Cthulhu-mythos, but not all of it by any means, and there is more of the Lord Dunsany or Clark Ashton Smith about it instead. After all, a lot of HPL's outpourings were actually SF, and Ligotti is definitely on the Horror side of the fence.
