Night in the Lonesome October
Roger Zelazny
Join the loyal dog Snuff and his knife-wielding master Jack as they collect grisly ingredients for an unearthly rite in the dark and mysterious streets of 19th-century London. But they're not alone – a host of participants, human and not, are preparing for the dread night. As Snuff tracks the Players and keeps Things at bay, he stays one step ahead of the Great Detective's knowledge. A Night in the Lonesome October is a darkly entertaining and original blend of horror, humor, mystery, and fantasy that many consider to be the best book from the fantasy master Roger Zelazny.
