Review # 1 was written on 2020-12-18 00:00:00 Paicu Alexandru This is a very good reprint anthology of stories about unusual aliens. Judging by the B.E.M. cover, it may have been aimed at what we now call the Y.A. market. The stories range from a David H. Keller story originally published in the 1920's to one that Carr himself wrote (in collaboration with his wife Carol) from the 1970's. I especially enjoyed Mimic by Donald A. Wollheim (founder of DAW books), Dear Devil by Eric Frank Russell, and The Street That Wasn't There by Clifford D. Simak and Carl Jacobi. (The only story I can recall that Simak wrote collaboratively.) The most notable story is Theodore Sturgeon's It, which was the inspiration for comics icons like Solomon Grundy, Swamp Thing, Man-Thing, and The Heap.

Review # 2 was written on 2011-12-30 00:00:00 Mike Sherwood Hard to rate - in a different mood I might have given it four stars. Not really so much BEMs; more worth reading than that. The Worm by David H. Keller - almost Lovecraftian; not my thing Mimic by Donald A. Wollheim (as by Martin Pearson) - short and clever It by Theodore Sturgeon - well-written, but not sure if the story makes sense Beauty And The Beast by Henry Kuttner - a bit like 'Iron Giant' in that a "monstrous" form does not necessarily mean that the creature is a monster Some Are Born Cats by Terry and Carol Carr - light, and, yes, cat lovers will enjoy it most I think Full Sun by Brian W. Aldiss - too ambitious for the length & just didn't read well The Silent Colony by Robert Silverberg - very short, undeveloped The Street That Wasn't There by Clifford D. Simak and Carl Jacobi - clever little horror Dear Devil by Eric Frank Russell - I've seen this elsewhere but it's worth the reread, though imperfect
