imperfectletter34. A Night in the Lonesome October by Roger Zelazny (280)
I love this book. I think this is one of my favorite books. It's told from the perspective of a watchdog, Snuff, and it's a gathering of all sorts of fantastical literary characters - some I recognize, some I don't. It's easy to figure out who the Count, the Good Doctor, the Great Detective, and Jack (who is under a curse and keeper of "the Knife") are. There are half a dozen more that are probably just as recognizable, if you've read the right books. They are all gathered together to participate in a sort of ritual on Halloween night - some trying to let the Elder Gods into the world, others trying to keep them closed out. The book is about October, preparing for Halloween and then at the end performing the rite. From the perspective of the dog. It's really pretty hilarious.
