What They're Saying
Critics Review
“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

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
