Amazing! I think the bad reviews on this come from people expecting the usual Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser and ending up with a speculative, Lovecraftian story involving time-travel and parallel universes. If you're looking for sci-fi/horror this is the book though; the ending literally blew my mind - I'm still trying to wrap my head around the fifth-dimension!

A nifty little novella, and while not Leiber's best, it's a worthy addition to any weird fiction library. Time travel, resurrection of the dead, a creepy little California town where something is Not Quite Right -- what more can one want? It would have made a great Twilight Zone episode.

Billed as H.G. Wells meets Lovecraft but it never lived up to that in my eyes. More Wells than
Lovecraft which isn't necessarily bad but I was looking for something with a new twist and thought the combination might work...but it didn't for me.
5/10
