Frost and Fire Kindle Edition

See all formats and editions
Frost and Fire is a triumph of style and vision. The collection opens with “Permafrost” which won both the Hugo and Nebula Awards and the final story in the collection is “24 Views of Mt. Fuji, by Hokusai” which won the Hugo Award and was nominated for the Nebula Award. These two stories alone represent an amazing achievement; but this collection is filled with gems such as “Mana from Heaven” and “Night Kings.” a land mark collection by one of the best writers science fiction and fantasy has ever known.


Roger Zelazny was a science fiction and fantasy writer, a six time Hugo Award winner, and a three time Nebula Award Winner. He published more than forty novels in his lifetime. His first novel This Immortal, serialized in The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction under the title ...And Call Me Conrad, won the Hugo Award for best novel. Lord of Light, his third novel, also won the Hugo award and was nominated for the Nebula award. He died at age 58 from cancer. Zelazny was posthumously inducted into the Science Fiction Hall of Fame in 2010.

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Whether exploring the vampire's place in the food chain ("Dayblood"), speculating on the possibility of life on Saturn ("Dreadsong"), or contemplating the ultimate mysteries ("24 Views of Mt. Fuji, by Hokusai"), Zelazny's approach to sf is always fresh and innovative. Although most of the ten stories in this collection have been previously published, this volume represents a solid contribution to sf literature. For most libraries.

4.0 out of 5 stars 24 VIEWS OF MT. FUJI, BY HOKUSAI was the most challenging and most rewarding story in the collection.
Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2014
Most of the stories here grabbed me and drug me along, and those that didn’t were brief and over quickly. Only one was challenging, but all were entertaining. MANA FROM HEAVEN was great rollicking two-fisted pulp. Zelazny does good action and delivers here. DAYBLOOD is a fantastic take on vampire mythology.

24 VIEWS OF MT. FUJI, BY HOKUSAI was the most challenging and most rewarding story in the collection. This novella is broken into 24 sections, following a pilgrim on their way to Mt. Fuji. Each of these 24 scenes is inspired by one of the woodcut prints from the set “Views of Mt. Fuji” by Hokusai. I received a nice art lesson at the same time as an engaging story without feeling like an education. Everyone is familiar with the Great Wave, although I never knew it was a view of Mt. Fuji from the sea. The waves become a recurring metaphor in the story, as waves are wont to do.

The basic format for the novella is to have the print set the scene, followed by a deviation from the scene, and finally melting back into the story. Our pilgrim is utilizing the last of their physical strength to draw spiritual power from these views in order to fight a great evil and save the world. Does it really matter if they are saving the world from a post-human Cthulhu cultist? Not really. This introspective hero’s journey with ripples of action and tension is worth visiting and revisiting. I will be back again.

I really appreciate that the cover art of this book has a view of Mt. Fuji through the path in the woods. It’s subtle, but it’s there.
