Treated myself to a new book today. I would never have discovered it if it hadn't been for the wonderful @neilhimself . Can't wait to start reading it but I have The Dark Is Rising sequence to finish first. #Bookstodon #Books

The back cover. It says "All is not what it seems. In the murky London night, a knife wielding gentleman named Jack prowls the streets with his faithful watchdog Snuff - gathering together the grisly ingredients they will need for an ancient and unearthly rite. For soon after the death of the moon, black magic will summon the Elder Gods back into the world. And all manner of Players, both human and undead, are preparing to participate. Some have come to open the gates. Some have come to slam them shut. Now the dread night approaches - so let the Game begin.

I have several friends who read this every October chapter-by-chapter, day-by-day; I don't have that level of discipline; if I start it, it's getting finished same day!

Zelazny was a very underrated writer; I sometimes think he's omitted a lot in libraries, who always seem to have a lot of Asimov, simply because of his alphabetical positioning.
