He had a rare ability to mix the dream-like, disturbing imagery of fantasy with the real-life hardware of science fiction. His vivid imagination and fine prose made him one of the most highly acclaimed writers in his field. Three times he won the Nebula Award, and six times the Hugo Award, for excellence in novels and short fiction. Roger Zelazny possessed a unique, dazzling talent; his visions of the future, of other worlds and of other realities are, by turns, enchanting and disturbing, and always memorable. From PUBLISHERS WEEKLY: THE DOORS OF HIS FACE, THE LAMPS OF HIS MOUTH, a new edition of multiple Nebula and Hugo award winner Roger Zelazny's (CHRONICLES OF AMBER series) acclaimed short fiction, features the title story, "A Rose for Ecclesiastes," "Divine Madness" and 14 others, including some not in the original collection. In "Devil Car," a man and his highly armed, artificially intelligent car track the black Cadillac that killed his brother; in "The Great Slow Kings," two quarrelsome subterranean rulers try to keep up with evolving humankind, which annihilates itself with atomic weapons before the kings issue even one proclamation.
