The main thesis of this book is that humans ought never to have been born. I read the 2018 paperback version published by Penguin Books.Ĭonspiracy Against the Human Race falls into the category of Ethics and Moral Philosophy in a subcategory of pessimism.


The book was originally published in 2010. The Conspiracy Against the Human Race is Ligotti’s first work of non-fiction. I’ve not read any of his work and haven’t read much fiction in ages. He is a published writer in the horror genre in the vein of Lovecraft’s atmospheric horror. I’ll close with my review and perspective. I haven’t done any book reviews, but since I tend to read a lot of books, I figure why not share my take and see how it’s received? If you like these reviews, click the like button and I’ll consider creating more.įirst, I’ll be providing a little background, and then I’ll summarise some of the content and main themes. In this segment, I’ll be reviewing a book by Thomas Ligotti, The Conspiracy Against the Human Race, A Contrivance of Horror.
