Description

Sturgeon's career was at a high point in these years thanks to the very favourable reaction to his 1953 novel More than Human and to the short fiction he published in 1953 and thereafter. But this long-awaited success was obstructed by serious episodes of writer's block in 1955 and again in 1958. Volume X shows Sturgeon doing some of his best and most powerful work in major stories like "The Man Who Lost the Sea," "The Comedian's Children," "A Touch of Strange," and "The Graveyard Reader."

Reviews

"Historically, the Complete Sturgeon is one of the most important reissues in years. In terms of reading, this is a goldmine both for those already familiar with Sturgeon's work and for a new generation of readers ready for something real."-Strange Worlds Magazine"Theodore Sturgeon has become a kind of patron saint of SF short story writers. His fiction demonstrated a love of humanity and an understanding of human emotion unparalleled in the field. At the time of his death in 1985, no short story writer was held in so high a regard."-David Brin, author of Heaven's Reach
