A Dark Traveling by Roger Zelazny

shane_tiernan's review against another edition

1.0

I love Zelazny and everything but this really sucked. I've got it in this beautiful illustrated hardcover (millennium) edition but really there had to be 25 other Zelazny novellas that deserved this treatment more than this piece of crap. At a very stretched out 143 pages, the action starts at about page 120. There's the werewolf angle that goes nowhere and seems to be included for no reason other than possibly to increase page count. The dues ex machina. The main evil bad dude that shows up for about 3 pages toward the end. And then an interesting paragraph or two at the end that talks about multiple realities.

Not recommended - even for hardcore Zelazny fans.

Somehow Zelazny managed to tell a believable story that involved a werewolf, a witch, a Golem and travel between parallel universes.
