Some of Your Blood

Horty Bluett is eight when he runs away from home. He¿d been cruelly punished: Junky, the ugly old toy with the jewel-like eyes, the only thing that really belonged to him, had been deliberately smashed. And that hurt even more than having three fingers accidentally severed. Horty finds a new home among the freaks of a travelling carnival, protected by the beautiful midget, Zena. For Zena knows the truth about Junky and the jewels. She knows that Horty is one of the ¿jewel people¿, and she knows what others would do to him if they found out that the jewels are living, thinking alien crystals from outer space.

The Dreaming Jewels

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 known for being very ahead of its time in advocating gay rights.

To Here and the Easel

By the winner of the Hugo, the Nebula, and the World Fantasy Life Achievement Awards, this latest volume finds Theodore Sturgeon in fine form as he gains recognition for the first time as a literary short story writer. Written between 1957 and 1960, when Sturgeon and his family lived in both America and Grenada, finally settling in Woodstock, New York, these stories reflect his increasing preference for psychology over ray guns. Stories such as "The Man Who Told Lies," "A Touch of Strange," and "It Opens the Sky" show influences as diverse as William Faulkner and John Dos Passos. Always in touch with the zeitgeist, Sturgeon takes on the Russian Sputnik launches of 1957 with "The Man Who Lost the Sea," switching the scene to Mars and injecting his trademark mordancy and vivid wordplay into the proceedings. These mature stories also don't stint on the scares, as "The Graveyard Reader"—one of Boris Karloff's favorite stories—shows. Acclaimed novelist Jonathan Lethem's foreword neatly summarizes Sturgeon's considerable achievement here.

65 Great Tales of Horror

Bizi duymazlar... Duymazlar, sadece çığlık, sadece gürültüler. Erkekler ondan uzaklaşır, kadınlar ona bakmaz, çoculara durup onu izlerdi... Becerebildiğinde karnını doyurur, beceremezse aç kalırdı... Kaçardı. İlk darbede kaçmaya başlar ve darbeler durana dek kaçmaya çalışırdı. Fırtınalardan böyle kaçtı, düşen taşlardan, insanlardan, köpekler, trafik ve açlıktan... Bir hayvan gibi öldürürdü, nefret ve zevk olmasızın. Babası ona bir kadınla yalnız kalan bir erkeğin nasıl çılgına döndüğünü, vücudunda zehirli terin nasıl oluştuğunu, erkeğin bunu nasıl kadının üzerine sürdüğünü ve bunun kadının teninde nasıl bir dehşete neden olduğunu alatmıştı. Ayrıca öğrenmişti ki yeterince uzun bir süre hareketsiz oturursan bedenin acımaya başlar, ama sonra acı diner. O zaman hiç kımıldamamalısın, azıcık bile, çünkü kımıldamak her şeyden daha fazla acı verecektir....
