In the over 200 short stories he wrote, Sturgeon dealt consistently with issues of isolation and alienation whether as a result of the modern world or simply as a response to the human condition. Warm, funny, and perceptive, he had a tremendous influence on his generation of writers, as well as on younger writers inspired by his seemingly effortless style. This book collects 12 of his best short stories, dating from 1940 to 1980.
