Oh, right, I had forgotten about the original. I meant a series by
Roger Zelazny that starts with a book called Nine Princes of Amber.
There was a scene in one of the later books where a guy with the
ability to travel to any sort of alternate world is slipped acid. What
he thinks he sees sort of happens. Not the kind of guy who should be
tripping. The bar turns into an Alice in Wonderland scene, complete
with the Cheshire Cat of course. And the Bandersnatch.
I miss Zelanzy, he was a very good writer.
