Synopsis
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.
