All is not what it seems...
In the murky London gloom, a knife-wielding gentleman named Jack prowls the midnight 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. And now the dread night approaches so let the Game begin.
Recenzijas
'One of Zelazny's most delightful books' Neil Gaiman 'The last great novel by one of the giants of the genre' George R. R. Martin A madcap blend of horror tropes and fantasy... There arent many authors who would set out to write a novel in which the Wolfman and Jack the Ripper were the two heroes... And Im not sure anyone else could have made it work Science Fiction Chronicle Sparkling, witty, delightful. Zelaznys best for ages, perhaps his best ever Kirkus Reviews
