Roger Zelazny's A Night in the Lonesome October follows a series of literary characters and archetypes as they scramble about the London of Jack the Ripper towards a mysterious goal, as told by his dog, Snuff. Examples include: Doctor Frankenstein, druids, witches, Dracula, and Elder Gods. There is not much I can say beyond that without giving away key twists of the plot. The accompanying illustrations, by Gahan Wilson, are highly stylized and add an endearing touch to the novel.
