Roger Zelazny - "Damnation Alley"

already knew this, about an asshole doing a crazy drive to Boston in a dystopian violent America.


Still a fun read.

Roger Zelazny - "The Last Defender of Camelot"

  •  "He Who Shapes"
    using dreams to fix neuroses. Intriguing.
  • "Auto-Da-Fe"
    my old classic from the penguin short sci-fi books. Still good.
  • "Damnation Alley"
    Pretty amazing post-apocalyptic work.
  • "For a Breath I Tarry"
    An almost poetic worded story of Frost, controlling the northern hemisphere after the last humans have died.
  • "The Stainless Steel Leech"
    Well executed. Can learn from this.
  • The Engine at Heartspring's Center"
    Strange story about a cyborg living near a euthanasy centre.
  • "The Last Defender of Camelot"
    Amazing story about a thousand year old Lancelot.

Roger Zelazny - "He Who Shapes" (in: The Last Defender of Camelot)

Intriguing story. If it teaches anything, it is building up to the climax.

Roger Zelazny - "Roadmarks"

blurb: The Road runs from the unimaginable past to the far future, and those who travel it have access to the turnoffs leading to all times and places - even to the alternate timestreams of histories that never happened.

Small pocketbook and one clearly distinguishes the ideas of Amber leaking through... I wrote, before checking dates. First print is 1979, which places it right in the middle, between the Corwin Cycle and the Merlin Cycle.

Is it original? Less so, when you know Amber, but still a really good read, a quick pocketbook for on the beach.
