Writer
Thomas Ligotti
Weird fiction of unusual bleakness, and an influence on True Detective.
Thomas Ligotti is an American horror author, philosopher, and writer. His writings are rooted in several literary genres, most prominently weird fiction, and have been described by critics as works of philosophical horror, often formed into short stories and novellas in the tradition of gothic fiction. The worldview espoused by Ligotti in his fiction and non-fiction has been described as pessimistic and nihilistic. The Washington Post called him "the best kept secret in contemporary horror fiction."

Thomas Ligotti is alive, so there is one chart here rather than two. The death chart is cast for a documented moment of death and there is nothing to cast one for, which is the point: this site does not estimate either end.
