The audiobook edition of Roger Zelazny‘s classic, Hugo Award-winning LORD OF LIGHT has been re-issued today by W. F. Howes! Narrated by Matt Godfrey, here’s the synopsis…
The boundaries between gods and mortals blur in a futuristic world where ancient Hindu deities reign supreme, not by divine right, but through advanced technology and manipulation of human consciousness. Enter the protagonist, Sam, who dares to challenge these self-proclaimed gods by resurrecting the forgotten concept of Buddhism, symbolizing a cosmic rebellion against tyranny and the timeless struggle for spiritual and intellectual freedom. As Sam channels the essence of the Enlightened One, he ignites a revolution that promises not only to destabilize the pantheon but also to redefine what it means to be human.
Dive into this richly woven tapestry of myth, philosophy, and science fiction, where the fate of humanity teeters on the edge of an epic confrontation between ancient beliefs and the relentless quest for liberation.
A UK print and eBook editions of LORD OF LIGHT is available as part of Gollancz’s SF Masterworks series.

The new audiobook edition of Roger Zelzany‘s A NIGHT IN THE LONESOME OCTOBER is out now in North America! Published by Recorded Books, the novel is narrated by Matt Godfrey. Here’s the synopsis…
Loyally accompanying a mysterious knife-wielding gentleman named Jack on his midnight rounds through the murky streets of London, good dog Snuff is busy helping his master collect the grisly ingredients needed for an unearthly rite that will take place not long after the death of the moon. But Snuff and his master are not alone. All manner of participants, both human and not, are gathering with their ancient tools and their animal familiars in preparation for the dread night. It is brave, devoted Snuff who must calculate the patterns of the Game and keep track of the Players — the witch, the mad monk, the vengeful vicar, the Count who sleeps by day, the Good Doctor and the hulking Experiment Man he fashioned from human body parts, and a wild-card American named Larry Talbot — all the while keeping Things at bay and staying a leap ahead of the Great Detective, who knows quite a bit more than he lets on.
Boldly original and wildly entertaining, A Night in the Lonesome October is a darkly sparkling gem, an amalgam of horror, humor, mystery, and fantasy. First published in 1993, it was Zelazny’s last book prior to his untimely death. Many consider it the best of the fantasy master’s novels. It has inspired many fans to read it every year in October, a chapter a day, and served as inspiration for Neil Gaiman’s brilliant story “Only the End of the World Again.”
Godfrey has also narrated the new audiobook editions of Zelazny’s ROADMARKS, CREATURES OF LIGHT AND DARKNESS, and LORD AND LIGHT (all published by Recorded Books).
The print and eBook editions of the novel are published in the UK by Farrago Books.

The Road runs from the unimaginable past to the far future, and those who travel it have access to the turnoffs leading to all times and places — even to the alternate time-streams of histories that never happened. Why the Dragons of Bel’kwinith made the Road — or who they are – no one knows. But the Road has always been there, and for those who know how to find it, it always will be!
Dizzying in its virtuosity, gripping in its kaleidoscopic treatment of time, character and action Roadmarks is a dazzling achievement.

In two weeks, Recorded Books are due to publish a new audiobook edition of Roger Zelazny‘s classic novel CREATURES OF LIGHT AND DARKNESS! Narrated by Matt Godfrey, here’s the synopsis…
Two gods, two houses, one quest, and the eternal war between life and death
To save his kingdom, Anubis, Lord of the Dead, sends forth his servant on a mission of vengeance. At the same time, from The House of Life, Osiris sends forth his son, Horus, on the same mission to destroy utterly and forever The Prince Who Was a Thousand.
But neither of these superhuman warriors is prepared for the strange and harrowing world of mortal life, and The Thing That Cries in the Night may well destroy not only their worlds, but all mankind.
As Zelazny did with the Hindu pantheon in the legendary, groundbreaking classic Lord of Light, the master storyteller here breathes new life into the Egyptian gods with another dazzling tale of mythology and imagination.
Godfrey also narrated the recent ROADMARKSaudiobook, published by Recorded Books.
