Summary
Kurt Vonnegut cites Theodore Sturgeon as the inspiration for his character Kilgore Trout. This volume includes 12 stories from 1953, considered Sturgeon’s golden era. Among them are such favorites as the title story, “The Silken-Swift,” “A Way of Thinking,” “The Dark Room,” “The Clinic,” and “The World Well Lost,” a story very ahead of its time in advocating gay rights.

What They're Saying
Critics Review
“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
