The Day the Leash Gave Way and Other Stories

New affordable edition of the first collected stories of Trent Zelazny. Includes the original twenty-four dark, quirky, eccentric tales published in 2009, plus two newly added yarns excavated from Zelazny's reprehensible vault. These stories will surprise you, entertain you, possibly upset or offend you at times, and will take you places you've never been before. Rather than trying to make a career of covering the same ground his father had already plowed, Trent Zelazny opted to do his own thing, and established right out of the gate that he was-and still is-his own man. Features a new introduction by the author. Two additional stories: The Ten-In-One and Chicken Strips. Trent Zelazny's work is as powerful as a .45 slug and as memorable and pleasing as a scar obtained during feverish sexual activity. One of the best of the new breed of writers. -Joe R. Lansdale Trent Zelazny's work is pure Punk Classicism, with a spirit and heart and ferocious inquiry that dance across multiple genres and forever change their landscape. When I first read The Day the Leash Gave Way, I literally couldn't speak for some time. I had to know more, read more...and merely scratch the surface of an SFnal dynasty to find this great friend and inspiration. He never disappoints. -Edward Morris
