Creatures of Light and Darkness Roger Zelazny
Publisher: Avon Books

The One Who fills the Throne in the heights. Overall, Roger Zelazny is my favorite SF author, on the strength of his short stories, Isle of the Dead, Call Me Conrad, and Creatures of Light and Darkness. Somehow this darkness when recognized, and worked with, can actually be used in a way that makes the lights even more defined and bright. Creatures will stumble unless they look. Lord of Light, to me, isn't in the same league. Modrons are geometrically-derived creatures that embody an order irrespective of morality. Will reach below to raise the fallen. On that basis, his best books - for me, yes, Lord of Light, which is very comic-book, and Creatures of Light and Darkness, despite the blatant metaphor dripping from every pore - are highly entertaining (and readable). In previous blogs we talked about the Neutral, Light and Dark types. Beyond the darkness to light on high. Seattle and its inhabitants are now engaged in our annual laborious climb out of the deep darkness of winter solstice. JUST NOW, the world is filled with darkness. Most days are gloomy, moist affairs in which we rise, go to work and commute home all in the dark. These are creature types but they also represent three sides that you can take in the game. Whether by accident, design or collective unconscious mind-meld, the second annual festival suggested light winking from distant stars, light on the bodies of deep-sea creatures, light defined by the darkness around it. It is equally hot and cold, equally light and dark, and made of equal parts of solid and liquid.
