Ten classic sci-fi and horror stories by “one of the major names in science fiction” (The New York Times).
 
From Hugo Award–nominated Henry Kuttner, one of the twentieth century’s most respected science fiction writers, comes a collection of stories described to be “just about as good as the modern magazine science-fantasy story can get” (J. Francis McComas and Anthony Boucher).
 
These ten science fiction stories include: “Or Else,” “Home Is the Hunter,” “By These Presents,” “De Profundis,” “Camouflage,” “Year Day,” “Ghost,” “Shock,” “Pile of Trouble,” and “Deadlock.”
 
“[A] pomegranate writer: popping with seeds—full of ideas.” —Ray Bradbury, author of Fahrenheit 421

Acerca do autor

Henry Kuttner was, alone and in collaboration with his wife, the great science fiction and fantasy writer C. L. Moore, one of the five most important writers of the 1940s, the writer whose work went furthest in its sociological and psychological insight to making science fiction a human as well as technological literature. He was an important influence upon every contemporary and every science fiction writer who succeeded him. In the early 1940s and under many pseudonyms, Kuttner and Moore published very widely through the range of the science fiction and fantasy pulp markets.
