The Chronicles of Amber
The Dark World is a science fantasy novel credited to Henry Kuttner, although his wife C.L. Moore may have been an uncredited collaborator, or possibly even the author. The novel was first published in the July 1946 issue of "Startling Stories", then reprinted in the Winter 1954 issue of "Fantastic Story Magazine". Its first book edition was issued by Ace in 1965, followed by a British edition by Mayflower Books in 1966. A French translation appeared in 1972. The novel was reprinted in full in Issue #5 of Amberzine in 1992, and also collected in a 1997 paperback omnibus, "The Startling Worlds of Henry Kuttner". Roger Zelazny, author of "The Chronicles of Amber", credits this book as being one of his primary influences during his youth.
