Frost and Fire [Hardcover]

Roger Zelazny (Author)

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Whether exploring the vampire's place in the food chain ("Dayblood"), speculating on the possibility of life on Saturn ("Dreadsong"), or contemplating the ultimate mysteries ("24 Views of Mt. Fuji, by Hokusai"), Zelazny's approach to sf is always fresh and innovative. Although most of the ten stories in this collection have been previously published, this volume represents a solid contribution to sf literature. For most libraries.

This review is from: Frost and Fire (Paperback)

Roger Zelazny is one of a few great prose stylists of the Fantasy and Science Fiction genere, along with Ray Bradbury and Jack Vance. His style is fierce and lyrical. This evident in all his stories, but especially in the two Hugo winners collected here "Permafrost" and "24 Veiws of Mt. Fuji, by Hokusia". The former is the story that convice me that Zelazny is great writer, giving us a tale of Love and Hatred, Revenge and Betrayel of cosmic proportions. The latter mixes philisophical musings, martial arts, Japanese methology, and cyberpunk speculations. Also there are two essays on science fiction and fantasy along with ten other treats.
