As you know, the librarian-narrator becomes obsessed with an unknown artist's work, in which a ".feeling of being in a trance in the most vile and pathetic surroundings was communicated to in the most powerful way, by the voice on the tape, which described a silent and secluded world where one existed in a state of abject hypnosis." This communication between librarian and artist is uncanny he is taken with awe that ".another person shared love for the icy bleakness of things." For me, Ligotti’s story is specifically and explicitly invoking the artistic relationship/connection between an author and a reader. Requests for or links to unauthorized / pirated intellectual property, like books, music, videos, etc.As for how “The Bungalow House” speaks to me: I feel a unique sense of being inside the story whenever I've read it.
