Beskrivelse
A Night in the Lonesome October is Roger Zelazny's homage to gothic horror and early horror movies. It is at once delightful, humorous, poetic, and gleefully dark. Whenever a full moon falls on All Hallow's Eve the conditions are such that a gate may be opened to allow the Elder Gods to return from the Nether Regions to which they have been banished. Snuff, a preternatural guard dog, and his owner Jack the Ripper, are closers-that is, they and others of their persuasion arrive in the time and place where the gate might open, in order to prevent the Elder God's return. Each chapter encompasses a single day in the month of October. Many of Zelazny's fans read a single chapter each night every October. Wonderfully illustrated with 32 Gahan Wilson Illustrations this cult classic is a delightful and macabre fast-paced romp. Without a doubt one of Zelazny's best.
