Creatures of Light and Darkness | 
so-soTrippy. Follows a fairly traditional path for mythology: violent, power hungry male gods intermarrying and jockeying for position, females can only scheme or be victimized on the sidelines. I fear the sci fi embellishments are decorative rather than purposeful. Had enough plot for a short story, poetic/psychedelic language blew it up to novella proportions. 🤷🏼♂️ ⚠️ body horror, suicide, torture, mention of incest, SA, fatphobia, misogyny
RamsFan1963 Have you read Lord of Light by Zelazny? It's a much better book, one of my all time favorites. It's based on Hindu mythology, but it's easy to understand, and it's a good adventure story to boot. 8mo
Robotswithpersonality @RamsFan1963 I actually just put in an ILL request for Lord of Light yesterday! Crying shame my own library system doesn't have more Zelazny; hopefully it won't take too long to get it. 8mo
