Jack of Shadows, 23
Jack of Shadows, 23 | Roger Zelazny
1 post | 8 read | 5 to read
In a world half of light, half of darkness, where science and magic strive for dominance, there dwells a magical being who is friendly with neither side. Jack, of the realm of shadows, is a thief who is unjustly punished. So he embarks on a vendetta. He wanders through strange realms, encountering witches, vampires, and, finally, his worst enemy: the Lord of Bats. He consults his friend Morningstar, a great dark angel. He is pursued by a monstrous creature called the Borshin. But to reveal any more would be to spoil some of the mindboggling surprises Jack of Shadows has in store. First published in 1971 and long out-of-print, Jack of Shadows is one of fantasy master Roger Zelazny's most profound and mysterious books.

70s sci-fi is so bonkers 😂 weird little book about an alternate Earth which is stuck on its axis - one side perpetually light & led by science, and one in constant darkness, governed by magic. Enjoyable. Plus #ScarathlonDailyPrompt (magic) and more pts for #Scarathlon #TeamMonsterMash Has also got me into a perpetual loop on #PromptMaze but hoping my next book gets me out of it 😬
