Praise for A Saucer of Loneliness: Volume VII: The Complete Stories of Theodore Sturgeon…
"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
