A review by ghosttropics
Creatures of Light and Darkness by Roger Zelazny

4.0

Sort of like the iliad, on a ton of peyote... With egyptian techno-gods and logic worshipping sex computers. The poetic prose, shifting styles, and abstract ideas made it really tough to follow at times, but when the ideas are this psychedelic and grandiose, you can't really expect complete coherence. Hugely experimental stuff, and definitely one of the most vividly colourful and thoroughly mindfucking (?) reads of my life. Also, there is a character who is literally just a shadow of a horse (with no horse to cast the shadow) who is also a black hole who can consume planets...so that's pretty sweet.
