Summary of this Book...
An homage to Gothic and Victorian classics, this story takes place during an October of mystical significance. Set in 19th century Greater London, it is narrated by Snuff, watchdog and companion to a mysterious gentleman with a knife. With equal parts humor and horror, the narrative details the day-to-day doings of a group of misfits who want to end the world as we know it -- or preserve it.
This type of Book is good for...
People familiar with the classic horror and suspense stories of the 19th century, and like them to have a modern twist.
I especially liked...
Zelazny's descriptions are vivid but spare, making it feel real.
I didn't like...
It's too short.
This Book made me feel...
Sad that Zelazny is no longer with us.
The author of this Book...
Died shortly after this book was completed; it represents his final complete work of fiction.
I recommend this Book because...
I read this book almost every October to get me in the mood for the fall season.
Further Comments...
Zelazny is perhaps better known for the sweeping fantasy series known as the Amber novels. Some of his descriptions and settings in this book are reminiscent of that earlier work.
