“There is a Shadow Guard…a
great, sprawling place of high, torch-lit halls, underground labyrinths and
many towers. There are things of great beauty there, and things of incalculable
worth."
--Jack Of Shadows (1971)
Behold the (unofficial)
Roger Zelazny Memorial
Library, a private collection dedicated to collecting all of Zelazny’s
published works in one location.
This effort
serves as my memorial for Roger, whom I regret never having met. I had the
chance, once…you can read all about life’s little pitfalls here.
The background
midi is the heroine’s own theme from Miyazaki’s classic anime, Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind <Kaze no
Tani no Naushika>. Voted number 1 anime film by the industry magazine Animage
seven years running, it was the first one I ever saw, and it kicks total butt.[1]
Who am I? Just
call me Jack.
Most of my favorite characters in art have been Jacks: Jack of Shadows, Jack
Skellington (see below), Jumpin’ Jack Flash, Jack-in-the-Green, Jack of All
Trades, Wolfman Jack, Jack Daniels, Jack (the Ripper) from A Night in the
Lonesome October, Jack Frost, One-Eyed Jack, and, most recently, Captain
Jack Sparrow:

What Nightmare Before Christmas Character Are You?
brought to you by Quizilla
More importantly, which Elder
Amberite are you? I, to no ones’s
great surprise, am Corwin:
You are Prince Corwin, the hero
of the Zelazny novels.
Everything in the first five novels is presented to us from
your point of view. You are the main character in a melodrama somewhat of your
making.
Advantages:
You are handsome and charismatic (when you want to be). You're a heck of a swordsman,
especially since you posses the Pattern blade Greyswandir. And, not only that,
but you're a bard as well, and famous for it around Amber. To top it all off,
you even created your own Pattern!
Disadvantages:
You are a broody bastard, and inclined to sit around getting drunk when things
don't go your way, which can be a lot sometimes. You also have an inherent
knack of pissing off everyone in the family (but they usually forgive you).
