"'Creatures of Light and Darkness' (1969) specifically repeats some of the effects of 'Lord of Light' in a desolate galactic milieu haunted by warring Ancient Egyptian deities, in this case Equipoisally unexplained, a confusingness that F Brett Cox argues in Roger Zelazny (2021) deliberately Parodies the New Wave with which he had been uneasily associated." - John Clute in "SF Encyclopedia" (online, accessed March 2024). .
Sinopsis
Creatures of Light and Darkness is a 1969 science fiction novel by Roger Zelazny. It is currently out of print, and a reprint promised for the end of 2006 has not appeared. It has been reprinted so many times that a given copy has accumulated numerous typographical errors, due to re-keyboarding the entire text at each printing, with minimal proofreading and no editing. It shares this property with paperback reprints of the original Dune novel.
