From Publishers Weekly
The Doors of His Face, the Lamps of His Mouth, a new edition of multiple Nebula and Hugo award winner Roger Zelazny's (Chronicles of Amber series) acclaimed short fiction, features the title story, "A Rose for Ecclesiastes," "Divine Madness" and 14 others, including some not in the original collection. In "Devil Car," a man and his highly armed, artificially intelligent car track the black Cadillac that killed his brother; in "The Great Slow Kings," two quarrelsome subterranean rulers try to keep up with evolving humankind, which annihilates itself with atomic weapons before the kings issue even one proclamation.
