Critics Review

Kuttner was exceptional. [He] died in 1958 at the ripe young age of forty-three. Our own minds were extinguished a little in response

Kuttner has power, a way with words, and grasp of technique … brings life and reality to his stories. - New York Times

A pomegranate writer: popping with seeds - full of ideas.

Fury shows how under conditions incomprehensibly different from those we now experience, mankind once again starts up the long climb from decay to greatness

One of the most able and versatile of modern sf writers - Encyclopedia of Science Fiction

About The Author

Henry Kuttner

Henry Kuttner (1915 -1958)

Henry Kuttner was born in Los Angeles, in 1915. As a young man he worked for the literary agency of his uncle, Laurence D’Orsay, before selling his first story, ‘The Graveyard Rats’, to Weird Tales in early 1936. In 1940 Kuttner married fellow writer C. L. Moore, whom he met through the ‘Lovecraft Circle’“, a group of writers and fans who corresponded with H. P. Lovecraft. During the Second World War, they were regular contributors to John W. Campbell’s Astounding Science-Fiction, and collaborated for most of the 40’s and 50’s, publishing primarily under the pseudonyms Lewis Padgett and Lawrence O’Donnell. In 1950 he began studying at the University of Southern California, graduating in 1954. He was working towards his masters degree but died of a heart attack in 1958, before it was completed.
