<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Boldly original and wildly entertaining, <i>A Night in the Lonesome October</i> is a darkly sparkling gem, an amalgam of horror, humor, mystery, and fantasy. An epistolary novel from Jack the Ripper's dog Snuff with one diary entry for each night of the month of October, this story features major Gothic characters from the 19th-century--including Dracula, Sherlock Holmes, Victor Frankenstein, and the Wolf Man--along with their beloved animals, trying to piece together a frightful and ingenious puzzle that will decide the fate of the world. First published in 1993, and Zelazny's last book prior to his untimely death, many consider it the best of the fantasy master's novels; it inspired Neil Gaiman's brilliant story "Only the End of the World Again," as well as fans to read a chapter a day, every October.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A cheerful, witty, well-crafted fantasy. . . .

There aren't many authors who would set out to write a novel in which the Wolfman and Jack the Ripper were the two heroes. . . . And I'm not sure anyone else could have made it work." --<i>Science Fiction Chronicle</i><br><br>"Bewitching . . . a supernatural romp." --<i>Philadelphia News</i><br><br>"Jack the Ripper meets Dracula, Dr. Frankenstein, Sherlock Holmes, and a few other choice individuals in this romp through the annals of literary horror and mystery. . . .
