Thanks for saving me the trouble of the correction.  :-)

They (and a number of other stories) are in _Manna from
Heaven_, which just came out from the Fantastic Book club,
http://www.fantasticbookclub.com/.

The title _Manna from Heaven_ is similar to _Unicorn Variations_
inasmuch as it has an almost-but-not-quite title story: "Mana from
Heaven" and "Unicorn Variation", respectively.  I don't have my
Zelazny books (other than this new one) easily to hand; were any of
his other collections titled like that?
