Roger Zelazny

The Doors of His Face, The Lamp of His Mouth

Roger Zelazny

IBooks, Inc., 2005

Zelazny's surreal imagery and fanciful ideas shine throughout!
At a time when there were a lot of authors with new ideas, Zelazny stood out from the crowd. It is easy to see where how some of his later ideas developed, and it's clear in some of these stories that he was writing from the heart without being the least bit ...

Manna From Heaven

Roger Zelazny

Wilder Publications, 2003

Great book!
One of the only places to find many of the short works by this wonderful author. Definitely an enjoyable read!

The Dead Man's Brother
Roger Zelazny

Hard Crime Case, 2009

The Great Book of Amber: The Complete Amber Chronicles, 1-10 (Chronicles of Amber)

Roger Zelazny

Eos, 1999

The Chronicles of Amber
I read each of these books that originally came as a series. Yes I waiting for each of these books to come out and couldn't wait for the next one. It is great to have them all in one enormous book now. If I can only find the time to read it again!

Lord Demon

Roger Zelazny, Jane M. Lindskold

Eos, 2000

Final treasure from the Lord of Light
I was a bit surprised to read some of the scathing comments that other reviewers have posted about "Lord Demon," and from the general trend of these reviews I suppose myself to be among the minority of Zelazny fans who thoroughly enjoyed this book. So be it. "Lord ...

The Short Happy Life of the Brown Oxford (The Collected Stories of Philip K. Dick, Vol. 1)

Philip K. Dick

Citadel, 2002

Essential reading for everyone (and everything)
The Short Happy Life of the Brown Oxford collects some of Dick's earliest writing, including much of his output from 1952-1955. Even writers who don't appreciate his prose style would have to admire his fecundity: some of these stories were written within days of each ...

The Books of Magic

Neil Gaiman, Scott Hampton, ...

Vertigo, 1993

Gaiman's bittersweet best
I can't believe I'd never read the original miniseries before. (Although I've certainly enjoyed the ongoing series). Despite the age, The Books of Magic doesn't feel dated at all and maintains the uniquely bittersweet, fairy tale tone that is characteristic of ...

Lord of Light

Roger Zelazny

Eos, 2004

A perennial read
Some readers have said it better already. This is a classic. It is not about Hinduism and Buddhism, but it is about humanity, and religeon in large part. I read this book every year. I love Zelazny's prose as much as anything, but I really love the central character. ...

A Night in the Lonesome October

Roger Zelazny

Avon Books (Mm), 1994

"Carpe baculum!"
Snuff: "I am used to curses, and no one can tell when I smile." Snuff, the narrator of A NIGHT IN THE LONESOME OCTOBER, is a watchdog. His master is Jack the Ripper. They're the good guys, and this is mostly their story. SPOILERS alert. Three or four times ...

To Reign in Hell: A Novel

Steven Brust

Orb Books, 2000

Disappointed
I was looking forward to a pleasurable read. That was not to be. I may have missed something, but I had a very hard time getting through this. I like this type of story. I like to read books that make me think. But - this was a chore to read. It seemed to be repetition ...

Creatures of Light and Darkness

Roger Zelazny

Avon Books (Mm), 1970

Creatures of Mythology
I can`t believe, that this novel by Roger Zelazny was never reprinted in the USA since 1970!!! It is one of his best novels. Especially if you like "Lord of Light" and Ancient Egypt, because heroes of the novel and the poetical style of writing are borrowed from the ...

The Guns of Avalon (Chronicles of Amber, Vol. 2)

Roger Zelazny

Avon Books, 1996

Corwin establishes himself
Boy, after reading Nine Princes In Amber it's almost like eating Chinese, you want more...so, you follow up with The Guns of Avalon. The Guns of Avalon seamlessly picks up where Nine Princes in Amber left off. Corwin has survived his brother Eric and is now loose in ...

Smart Dragons Foolish

Ace, 1991

A Wonderful Collection of Short Stories
This collection of short stories is absolutely wonderful. It includes Sci/Fi stories about Hell, Trolls, and the absolute worst wish ever imagined. I've read this book a number of times and it never fails to make me burst into laughter.

Psychoshop

Alfred Bester, Roger Zelazny

Vintage, 1998

Good, thought provoking book
I picked this book up because I thought the title and the cover seemed pretty interesting. Once I started reading I couldn't stop, which is rare for me because I prefere TV. Yet i sat there for a few long sessions and finished the book. I think the books views and ...

Last Defender of Camelot (Ibooks Fantasy Classics)

Roger Zelazny

IBooks, Inc., 2005

quirky
This guy is one of the best Science Fiction fantasy writers ever. (he wrote the Amber series -- about 9 brothers and sisters who hate, love, ally with and betray each other for supreme mastery of a multi-universe) In this book this is a collection of his short ...
