I read the Book Club edition, hardcover, 10 stories.  A sampling from Sturgeon's long career, with brief introductory notes.  None of the stories really stick with me, but I did enjoy reading them at the time and look forward to the several other collections of his stories that I own. ( )

Another exceptionally satisfying collector from a master storyteller.

Half of these 10 stories (well, 9 stories and one anecdote to be precise) were new to me. Four of them take fairly conventional science fiction storylines in unexpected ways, four of them are more in the dark fantasy vein, one is a funny take on God and the nature of reality, and one a short anecdote from real life. They all connect on a very emotional level in a way that is distinctively Sturgeon.

"The Golden Helix," "The Man Who Lost the Sea," "The Clinic," "The Dark Room," and "Yesterday Was Monday" were my favorites. ( )
