A Night In The Lonesome October

This book is an old friend. I read it again every October, though I never manage to restrain myself to the day-a-chapter pace I envision. It's always fun to check in with Jack and Snuff and the rest of the horror story gang, not to mention The Great Detective. Zelazny artfully pulls together a plethora of well-known characters, all against a Lovecraftian backdrop, while evoking a fun Halloween spirit.

I confess that, just as I do when reading Lovecraft himself, I skim the more Dreamquest-y passages. Still, it's a fun romp, and of course where else would a supernatural cat's home base be, than the lands that house Ulthar?

Update 2016-11-02 - Finished two nights ago, right on schedule, and it was as fun as it always is!

Update 2017-10-25 - I cheated and listened to the rest of the book last night. It was a lot of fun hearing Zelazny read his own work. Too bad it's only available on CD right now. Audible, get on that!
