"Zelany's" _Lord Demon_

Fri Dec 12 13:58:20 PST 2003

I liked most of Zelazny's stuff, including one of my personal favorites, 
_Doorways in the Sand_ and _This Immortal_.  I realize that he is likely 
best known for his short stories (which were excellent) and the Amber 
series, but I was a lifelong fan, regardless.
