A Night In The Lonesome October by Roger Zelazny

Review: A Night In The Lonesome October by Roger Zelazny )

This book is:
* - a fine balance of cheerful, light hearted magical fantasy and blood-rite horror
* - written from the point of view of a dog
* - one of my favourites

This book is not:
* - going to explain most of what's happening
* - serious business
* - going to give up all its references in a single reading
