    Lonesome October Thread

    I was disappointed to find the Zelazny boards without a single Night in the Lonesome October thread, which happens to be one of my all time favorite novels. So, I guess as a basic Lonesome October question, if you were a player would you be an opener or a closer and what would your familiar be...

    Locus Awards result: #2 plus Hall of Fame plus THE IDES OF OCTEMBER

    A belated post to mention that The Collected Stories of Roger Zelazny Volumes 1-6 finished #2 in the Locus Awards for Best Collection of 2009. I'm delighted with the result; NESFA Press is a small press and its titles have much smaller print runs and circulation than titles from the big...

    This Immortal

    I always find myself going back to this book, cool characters and a nice happy "Hollywood" like ending.

    SF Hall of Fame Induction

    I just noticed via the Locus website (the link to information about their upcoming awards banquet) that Roger Zelazny will be inducted into the SF Hall of Fame in Seattle this June. That detail doesn't yet seem to be on the SF Hall of Fame's website. In part six of the "...And Call Me Roger"...

    Sons of Amber short film

    Here's a fan-produced adaptation of the early sections of Nine Princes in Amber. The guy playing Random is pretty good despite some stiff dialogue: Part 1 YouTube - Sons of Amber - Pt 1 Part 2 YouTube - Sons of Amber - Pt 2 Bloopers YouTube - Sons of Amber Bloopers Chris

These will all be on CDs. They've already released Nine Princes in Amber and A Night in the Lonesome October and plan to...

    Another 'who's similar' thread?

    Hi, Doing this to bump the subject up. Basically it's 'Amber' -- what else is like Amber? I want to read similar things, equally intelligent and entertaining and humorous and serious together. Who knows of any? One thing I noted was that 'Amber' kind of goes in a group for me of books...

    Filling the Void - Who's most like RZ?

    Ever since his death in 1995, I've been looking for an author who might cause me to recall Roger Zelazny. I haven't really found one yet. I'm sure many of you have stumbled across this before (I think a link here in the Chrons was the first time I encountered it), but you'll notice that, other...

    Roadmarks, by Roger Zelazny

    Roadmarks was published in 1979, but I hadn't previously read it and in fact wasn't even aware of its existence until it was selected as the book of the month by the Classic Science Fiction forum. It is an intriguing read and makes quite a contrast with the more conventional and commercial Amber...

    The Dead Man's Brother

    It's not SF, but a crime novel from a manuscript discovered after Roger's death and complete, or at least much more so than Lord Demon or Donnerjack. Crime novels are not really my thing but anything by Roger has to be worth reading. Amazon.com: The Dead Man's Brother: Roger Zelazny: Books

    'Lord of Light' review

    I first (and last) read this some 35 years ago, and recently dug out my dusty old paperback to refresh my memory in order to participate in the discussion of it held in the Classic SF forum. Zelazny was one of my favourite authors then, and I was curious to see how this unusual tale stood up to...
