Mysteriarch π commented on Songs of a Dead Dreamer and Grimscribe by Thomas Ligotti (Penguin Classics)
The Lost Art of Twilight β β β β A rich, reclusive painter struggles with his identity, being neither a being of the day, nor a creature of the night. Until his family from the Old Country come visit him, those responsible for the death of his already dead mother and his unnatural birth. Forced to collapse his world of perpetual twilight. This is Ligotti's very interesting take on vampirism.
