Star Trek: The Devil in the Dark was an adaptation of stills taken from the Star Trek: The Original Series first season episode "The Devil in the Dark" into a photonovel, and the ninth release in the series. Aside from an episode cast list, the book also included excerpts from reader's letters, a trivia quiz, and a glossary.
Like the previous two outings in the series, no internationally translated edition is known to exist.
