Praise for LORD DEMON
"Filled with offbeat humor and sparkling images,
Zelazny's last novelтАФcompleted by his friend
and biographer Jane LindskoldтАФprovides a
last glimpse into the font of creativity and
brash imagination that made Zelazny
one of sf's memorable writers."
Library Journal

"Lindskold effectively captures the voices of

"Light-footed, twinkling, and fun."
Kirkus

"A thoroughly absorbing tale, full of delicately
nuanced language and a credit to both authors."
Booklist



For Jim, with much love.
And for Paul DellingerтАФ thanks for all the letters.
