🌕“I felt a strong desire to howl at the moon. It was such a howlable moon. But I restrained myself.” ❓Do you like books with non-human protagonists? Which one is your favorite? I recommended A Night in The Lonesome October on my short SFF list. But I know that Roger Zelazny is not very popular on bookstagram right now, so it seems like a good idea to share my review of this book as well. So this is a really curious book. Our main character is a watchdog named Snuff and he is a good dog. He is reliable, smart, and friendly. He cares about his master Jack and helps him in his endeavors. We are in London, it's gloomy and murky, and Halloween is coming soon. And with it, some dark ritual will come into place. As readers, we don't understand what is going on from the beginning, but with every chapter, we get more and more clues about the ritual, and "the game". We meet vampires, magicians, sorcerous, and shapeshifters. But most importantly we have a lot of time to get to know Snuff better and it's a great experience. Instead of a spooky and dark story, it could be from the premise and setting it becomes a cosy story about friendship and loyalty. It still has some elements to make in a proper spooky season read, but it's not the main focus for sure and it isn't scary, but atmospheric. This book has 31 chapters - from October 1 to October 31, so you can read it chapter per day for a perfect October reading experience, or you can pick it up right now and read it really quickly because it's short and engaging. 📖“I took Jack his slippers this evening and lay at his feet before a roaring fire while he smoked his pipe, sipped sherry, and read the newspaper. He read aloud everything involving killings, arsons, mutilations, grave robberies, church desecrations, and unusual thefts. It is very pleasant just being domestic sometimes.” #rogerzelazny #anightinthelonesomeoctober https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn_3tZHLmx4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It's time to read along. Roger Zelazny's Masterpiece is a must read for me every October. Start it on Sept 30th every year. Pick up a copy as it just came back in print. #ANightInTheLonesomeOctober #halloween #October #EerieTravels #eeriereads #spookybooks (at Hellview Cemetery) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjJfZ78MAD1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Time spent reading is always time well spent 📖 I just finished A Night in the Lonesome October by Roger Zelazny, which is a rather inteteresting and short holiday read! It's a day by day account throughout the month of October, wherein a secret "game" is being played to either alter or maintain the fate of humanity—all told through the perspective of a dog, because why not? This novel is quite fun so long as you don't take it too seriously, and honestly the animal perspective is much more interesting than I expected when it was recommended to me. Not to mention, it includes many classic monsters! ° ° ° QOTD: Classic or modern horror? 👻 ° ° ° #authorscommunity #authorsofinstagram #authorslife #authorssupportingauthors #bookstagram #bookcommunity #readingcommunity #creativity #storytelling #horror #writerscommunity #writersnetwork #writersofig #readersofig #bookpost #writersofinstagram #writerslife #writer #writing #writingadvice #writingcraft #writinginspiration #writingprocess #bookstore #anightinthelonesomeoctober #rogerzelazny #sciencefiction #octoberreads https://www.instagram.com/p/CkL_1VgAEZr/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I’ve had this recommended a few times, heralded as a lost classic, so I’m excited to start the Spooky Season a little early this year. #anightinthelonesomeoctober #genremashup #horror #book #rogerzelazny #spookyseason #everydayishalloween (at Waikiki) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSay-U3LJYO/?utm_medium=tumblr
