You're absolutely right. While I've enjoyed all of his books > immensely, many of Zelazny's short stories outshine his longer works. I find that the same is true with Neil Gaiman. Gaiman masters any genre he applies himself to, and all his books are well written, but the works of his that I absolutely adore are all short stories. None of his books are as touching as Troll Bridge, as funny and sweet as Chivalry, or as creepy as Murder Mysteries. > As a sidenote, how ironic is it that my first post on a mailing list for > Steven Brust fans is about Roger Zelazny? *smiles* I don't know if it's that odd. I don't think I've written a single on-topic post here yet. - Michael patiently awaiting Gaiman's next short story collection... (okay, not so patiently).
