This is the first of six volumes that cover his entire writing career, and I plan to buy all six. It's the short stories I am after as much as the novels; though the Big Z was an excellent novelist, his short stories are often gems. Even the ones that are now too outdated to be believable as science fiction ("A Rose for Ecclesiastes" and "The Doors of His Face, the Lamps of His Mouth" take place on Mars and Venus respectively, and Zelazny wrote them knowing that his window of opportunity to do so was closing) are readable, enjoyable, fifty years on. Zelazny was a well-educated person in terms of both fiction and poetry, and it shows in his work.If you are new to Zelazny, see if you can find a one-cent+$3.99 copy of "The Doors of His Face, the Lamps of His Mouth," a collection of his short stories that includes both "Doors" and "Rose," and see what you think. If you liked it, this collection might be worth investing in.If not, well, I've kept my copy of "Doors" for almost 45 years now. It's falling apart. When it does, I'll find another copy, maybe, if I don't have all six of these volumes by then.Update: I bought two volumes and decided I'd had enough. The extremely extensive annotation of each story is annoying; the annotation of Zelazny's writing to other authors or editors about the stories...I guess I'm a fan of Zelaany's writing, and not really interested in Zelazny himself. I'll buy that second copy of "Doors" when I need it, and that'll be good enough. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ First of a great series *by A***S on Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2012* The first and I would say the best of the 6 volume series - I've just finished the last of the volumes so can state an informed personal opinion. The volume contains some well-known classics, together with early works that show the development of Zelazny. It contains my favorite Zelazny story - He who shapes, together with some of his other best stories (Graveyard heart, Rose for Ecclsiasties, etc). There is more unpublished stories here than the later volumes - some are very good (On the road to Splendoba) while other stories show themes and directions that Zelazny was to follow more successfully later. In particular the previously uncollected Nine starships waiting featured a super-powered assassin who had lost his memory - not a great story but signs of things to follow. The poetry did little for me. The other features include commentary on all the stories, an explanation of some of the more unusual language used in each story, articles by and about Zelazny, and the the first part of the biography based mainly on his own words from articles and interviews. I thought this really placed the stories and novels in context although there was some repetition between the various sections.Just the idea of collecting all of an important writers works together allows the reader to make a full assessment. Even some of the lesser stories gain importance in the wider picture. This is a wonderful project and will hopefully keep the memory of Zelazny alive. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic, a must read for Zelazny fans *by J***N on Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2009* This is a fantastic look into his work. This book is the first of 6. At $30 each, it may seem steep, but they're worth every penny. I've got the first 4 now & am reading the second. It's hard to put down.There are excellent notes about allusions & metaphors in the stories as well as personal notes from Zelazny & other authors at the end of each story. When & where the story was published is also included. The order the stories are presented in is quite well done, too. It's not chronological by writing or publishing. They flow well.Many of the stories are unpublished or not readily available any more. As a whole, the work promises to include every short that he ever wrote. These are many of his early ones. A couple are partials, but most are complete & as Zelazny preferred them. There is discussion about Zelazny's versus editorial preferences.There is also a lot of his poetry, much of it previously unpublished. Several poems were published incorrectly, even in the hard to get, "PussyWillow" or "Views of Mt. Fuji". You'll find the corrected versions in this set.If you're a Zelazny fan, I think this is a must read. I have almost every book he's ever written or edited & there is a lot of material here I've never seen. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/47411518-threshold-the-collected-stories-of-roger-zelazny](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/47411518-threshold-the-collected-stories-of-roger-zelazny) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
