I haven't read Zelazny in many years so it was delightful to return to a collection of his work that I had never read before. Though I wouldn't say this is his best collection, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I would definitely recommend it to any Zelazny fan, but also anyone who enjoys short stories with fantasy, science fiction, or mythological twists.
this is an excellent collection of 21 short stories from the '60s, '70s and '80s by one of the masters of science fiction. besides the wonderful title tale, the book includes hugo winner "home is the hangman," and the author's brief intros to each story. highly recommended for those who don't know zelazny, and for those who do, too.
