Think you know the good guys from the bad? Think you understand the strange energy that grows in the autumn nights, culminating when the full moon rises on All Hallows' Eve? Think again.
Let Roger Zelazny color your imagination with glorious prose, while he captures your attention with brilliant characterization and action. A bit of magic, a bit of horror, and a lot of humor combine to redraw the great characters you thought you knew... the bloody Ripper, the curious Great Detective, the sanguine Count, the loyal Werewolf... who is fighting to save the universe, and who is fighting to destroy it?
One of those rare novels that manages to pull off a creative concept with a large cast while keeping its story airtight and controlled. Nothing is left for you to wonder the āwhat-itāsā on - your questions are answered, and then some. Quite a feat for a book short enough to be read in an afternoon.
This is one of my favorite Zelazny books! I read this almost every year in October (naturally). This is an amusing book, that brings in many classic monsters and blends everything with the Cthulhu mythos.
This was the most charming little story I've read in a long, long time. I'll be rereading this from time to time, I'm sure of it.
Brilliant!
Such an awesome book. Good to read around Halloween.
