Review # 1 was written on 2018-09-21 00:00:00 Peter Barrows This short story collection from one of science fiction's finest writers is a solid 4, maybe a 4.5. Each and every story had its moments of beautiful writing, even those one or two stories that I didn't particularly care for. Theodore Sturgeon writes from the heart and is quite capable of taking you along for the ride. In my eyes he is as good at making the common place seem strange and the strange seem commonplace as Ray Bradbury ever was.

Review # 2 was written on 2021-01-05 00:00:00 Randall Merager Fantastic classic sci-fi. This is a fine collection of short stories by Sturgeon, with an introduction by the author to each piece. I'm not sure I could pinpoint a theme that is common throughout the stories, but that's not surprising or a detriment as these span his career. In general, I would say the locus of Sturgeon's stories is human interconnection. This collection ranges from the poignant ("The Golden Helix") to tongue-in-cheek ("Yesterday was Monday") to horror ("The Dark Room").
