Oct 17, 2026
A moonlit soundscape for Zelazny’s Victorian London: uncanny electronics and ominous orchestral pieces evoke the gathering of occult players, while the songs bring out the story’s sly humor, shadowy creatures, and looming Halloween reckoning. The sequence moves between menace and mischief, with nods to Snuff, Jack, Dracula, and the strange company around them.
