Reviews

"The last great novel by one of the giants of the genre."

'A madcap blend of horror tropes and fantasy . . . There aren't many authors who would set out to write a novel in which the Wolfman and Jack the Ripper were the two heroes . . . And I'm not sure anyone else could have made it work.'

'Sparkling, witty, delightful. Zelazny's best for ages, perhaps his best ever.'
