Save:A wild, grotesque ride through Hell with imaginative scenery and plenty of action, but don’t expect the same depth or development as City Infernal. Great for horror fans craving more of Lee’s nightmarish playground, but might disappoint those wanting a richer, more complex narrative.

Save:A fun, fast-moving collection of fantasy tales - demon horses, sorcery, and vengeance galore. Not Zelazny’s finest, but a must for fans and a cool slice of old-school genre adventure.
'Dilvish, the Damned' is a collection of short stories that form a prequel to 'The Changing Land'. The book follows the adventures of Dilvish, a soldier who spent two centuries trapped in hell and is now seeking vengeance against the dark mage who sent him there. Each chapter presents a new adventure for Dilvish as he searches for the wizard who condemned him to hell, with some chapters being more engaging than others. The writing style is described as insouciant, reckless, and slightly world-weary, with witty dialogues and a touch of philosophical depth. The stories don't always flow seamlessly into one another, as they were written over the years for fantasy magazines, but together they form a loosely connected novel that offers a good high fantasy romp.
