    None sing hymns to it, praising the good #air, breathed by king and beggar, master and dog alike.
    But, oh, to be without it!"

  12. Just reread "A Night in the Lonesome October" by Roger Zelazny. It is entirely as good as I remember, and this is probably at least the tenth time I've read it over the years. Really, really holds up well. Just magnificent.

  13. Another classic by Roger Zelazny, and another one I had in my reading list for years.

    The book follows Conrad Nomikos, the titular immortal, as he wanders a future Earth which has become a shadow of her former self, with a tiny population and overrun with mutated and alien lifeforms.

    Well, I say wander, but actually Conrad is accompanying some aliens tourists on a visit to Earth’s historic […]

  14. This book kept being mentioned to me for a decade or so, and I thought I should give it a go, as it falls into a category I think I enjoy, a sci-fi retelling of mythology or religion or classic stories.

    The book takes on hinduism and buddhism, and describes a world where the Hindu gods (which are actually people) rule (unjustly) over a world where Buddhism, in the form of the protagonist Sam, […]

  17. This Immortal by Roger Zelazny, his debut novel, tied with Dune for the 1966 Hugo Award. Blending Greek mythology, humor, and poetic prose, it showcases Zelazny's signature style—mixing the ancient and futuristic in a fast-paced, philosophical adventure

  19. Today on our podcast Re-Creative Mark A. Rayner and I talk to author Peter Darbyshire, who joined us to champion the classic Roger Zelazny fantasy series The Chronicles of Amber. I've loved Zelazny's fiction from the moment I first encountered the Amber series, and Mark's a fan as well, so Peter was in good company.

  24. Nearing the end of my annual October reread of "A Night in the Lonesome October" by Roger Zelazny. And enjoying it as much as always. It is a fantastically creative piece of gothic storytelling, richly imaginative, and so much fun. Perfect for the run up to Halloween each year. #books #reading #bookstodon #fiction #horror #gothic #halloween #RogerZelazny

  26. “I took Jack his slippers this evening and lay at his feet before a roaring fire while he smoked his pipe, sipped sherry, and read the newspaper. He read aloud everything involving killings, arsons, mutilations, grave robberies, church desecrations, and unusual thefts. It is very pleasant just being domestic sometimes.”

  27. It's almost October, which means it's almost time to start my annual re-reading of one of my all-time favorite books, A Night in the Lonesome October by #RogerZelazny. With 31 chapters, one for each day of the month, it is a fantastic mash-up of creepy seasonal goodness wrapped into a compelling story, a kind of literary advent calendar for #Halloween. 🎃

  28. Insofar as I may be heard by anything, which may or may not
    care what I say, I ask, if it matters, that you be forgiven for
    anything you may have done or failed to do which requires
    forgiveness.

    Conversely, if not forgiveness but something else
    may be required to insure any possible benefit for which you
    may be eligible after the destruction of your body, I ask that this, whatever it may be, be granted or withheld, as the case
    may be, in such a manner as to insure your receiving said
    benefit.

    I ask this in my capacity as your elected intermediary
    between yourself and that which may not be yourself, but
    which may have an interest in the matter of your receiving as
    much as it is possible for you to receive of this thing, and
    which may in some way be influenced by this ceremony.
    Amen.

    -- Roger Zelazny, Creatures of Light and Darkness, 1969

  29. #StephenColbert's production company #Spartina has joined #SkyboundEntertainment and #VincentNewmanEntertainment to develop a TV series adaptation of one of #GeorgeRRMartin’s favorite fantasy novels, #TheChroniclesOfAmber by #RogerZelazny. No outlet has been lined up yet, but Spartina has a first-look deal with #CBSStudios, so #ParamountPlus seems to a a logical first choice.
