    [synopsis] => There was a period, from 1961-1967, when Roger Zelazny was magic, and every new story of his was an event. He was a tremendously variable writer.  The heart-wrenching "A Rose for Ecclesiastes" (written October 1967) was nothing like the passionate "Graveyard Heart," which was completely different from the mind blowing "The Ides of Octember," serialized in Amazing as "He Who Shapes," which was altogether different from the post-nuclear holocaust romp, "Damnation Alley," published in Galaxy and released as a film ten years later.
Zelazny had style, his language sang, his prose flowed like poetry. There was really no one else quite like him when he exploded onto the scene. Collected here together in one volume are the ten long stories that made Zelazny a legend. The impact of these ten stories cannot be denied. Reading them together gives one a sense of how rare an accomplishment Zelazny's early career was.
