I gather this title from 1980 may qualify as a "blast from the past" for some. I haven't read it myself, but the promo was blurbed at SF Signal, reportedly to last through the weekend.

Book Description
Publication Date: July 26, 2012
WORLD ENOUGH, AND TIME is the first book of this spell-binding action adventure trilogy. In a post-apocalyptic world 200 years from now, humans are a dying species. When Joshua’s wife is kidnapped by a gryphon and a vampire, he and his comrades—a centaur and an android—set out to rescue her across a surreal landscape filled with seemingly mythological creatures. But the explanation for the existence of these beasts is based in science, and informed by nightmare. And the odyssey isn’t over until they confront the evil cabal whose goal is nothing less than the extinction of the human race.
