BEST AUDIOBOOK NEWS EVER! The first two books in Roger Zelazny’s classic Amber series, Nine Princes in Amber and The Guns of Avalon, are now available as unabridged MP3 downloads.
From the audiobook intro: “This was read by Roger Zelazny himself shortly before his untimely death in 1995. The original unedited master recordings of this unique performance, long thought to have been lost or destroyed, were located in 2006, and have been digitally remastered.”
You can listen to a sample of the audio on YouTube.
You might also check out my story “Family Tree,” which has a strong Amber influence:
FUCK YESSS!!! I do have the old, abridged recordings, but the quality of them is pretty bad at times… They’re a nice thing to own, but pretty hard to listen to. This is great news!! Made my day.
The first five Amber books are unbeatable, imho.
Pulp noir + trickster myths + philosophy = WIN
