PC Gamer is remembering "the weird HeroQuest novel that combined Beowulf, Discworld, Dying Earth, and American Psycho", and I am reminded of the completely surreal Zork Chronicles by George Alec Effinger.

@konstantinosd i think about effinger every few months, and how frustratingly painful his short life was. few know about his books, and fewer know about his (unique) westwood/infocom rpg.

i won't say he's the best sci-fi writer i've ever read, but his books were always interesting
