Overview
All is not what it seems . . . In the murky London gloom, a knife-wielding gentleman named Jack prowls the midnight streets with his faithful watchdog Snuff gathering together the grisly ingredients they will need for an upcoming ancient and unearthly rite. For soon after the death of the moon, black magic will summon the Elder Gods back into the world. And all manner of Players, both human and undead, are preparing to participate. Some have come to open the gates. Some have come to slam them shut. And now the dread night approaches so let the Game begin. AUTHOR: Roger Zelazny was one of the most revered names in SF and fantasy. During his lifetime he was honoured with numerous prizes, including six Hugo and three Nebula Awards. He died in 1995.

Reviews
'Sparkling, witty, delightful. Zelazny's best for ages, perhaps his best ever.' * Kirkus Reviews * 'A madcap blend of horror tropes and 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.' * Science Fiction Chronicle * The last great novel by one of the giants of the genre. -- George R.R. Martin
