A Night in the Lonesome October | Roger Zelazny, Gahan Wilson

pick

I ended up liking this book okay. I had to refresh my memory of some of spooky literature in order to get some of the references. If you are not familiar with Lovecraft, some of it won't make sense. But it was humorous, narrated by a dog, and my money was always on the cat.

4th book read for #OutstandingOctober @Andrew65

#LonesomeOct

Also, the book was written in 1993 and refers to Romani people as Gipsies. No other apparent disparagements.

Andrew65 Well done 👏👏👏 3y

MidnightBookGirl October 4th starts off with Snuff doing his rounds, and I have to say, I find the Things trapped in the house to be pretty funny. Also Snuff spies a newly joined player and his pet squirrel, Cheeter. Openers and Closers are mentioned again, and Jack captures starlight. Not sure what to make of the wolf howl (or dog howl?) of the word lost and the way it makes Snuff react. 3y

Oops, meant to post this yesterday! My thoughts on chapter 3, October 3, are in the comments under spoilers. #LonesomeOct

MidnightBookGirl Chapter 3, where Snuff is a good doggie. Jack continues to collect ingredients for some mysterious purpose, and they are chased- by competitors? Also, Snuff meets Needle the bat, who belongs to the Count (I assume Dracula, because why not). It's also the first time openers and closers are mentioned. It's been too long since I read this book and I totally don't remember the ending, so it's all only vaguely familiar, lol. 3y

Laughterhp I‘m really enjoying this book, even though we are only on chapter 3/4. They are super short so far. 3y

MidnightBookGirl Chapter 2 is short and sweet, but we meet Graymalk, cat to Jill (crazy Jill who lives over the hill). Snuff and Graymalk each give the other some important information about who else has been skulking about (and setting deadly traps for the other). A few other players and their consorts are mentioned- Nightwind, an owl, belongs to Morris and MacCab, and Quicklime, a black snake who “lives in the belly“ of the mad monk Rastov . ⬇ 3y

MidnightBookGirl And I can't help but think of Rasputin, right? 3y

Eggbeater What are all these shady characters gearing up for? They all seem to be competing for something. My money's on the cat for the win. 3y

MidnightBookGirl @Eggbeater I honestly can‘t remember! 3y

MidnightBookGirl Betting on cats is always a good idea though 3y

About to dive into chapter one of #LonesomeOct for our read-a-long! Feel free to join in any time, and I'll post my thoughts here after I'm done. First, I need to make some food!

kimmypete1 Count me in! 3y

MidnightBookGirl I read the intro and chapter one- October 1st, in which we get to meet Snuff, a most dedicated watchdog to his master Jack, who keeps Things trapped in every day items. Mirrors, wardrobes, etc. I really love the vibe of this book, the creepiness of hanging out in the cemetery whilst Jack digs up graves. Can't wait for more, although it will be hard to limit it to just a chapter a day! 3y

Eggbeater I like the loyal graveyard dog. I wonder what exactly the Things are. 3y

rubyslippersreads I‘m going to try to join in. I meant to read it last October. 🎃 3y
