内容説明
The fifth of ten volumes that will reprint all Sturgeon's short fiction covers his prolific output volume contains 15 classics and two previously unpublished stories, including "Quietly." The Perfect Host provides enough of a representative sampling of Sturgeon's "greatest hits" to give the uninitiated a good sense of what all the fuss was about way back when. At the same time it offers a generous selection of alternate takes and rarities, notably several of Sturgeon's best forays into other forms of genre writing, plus previously unreleased cuts and liner notes.

NOT the anthology-- just one story, but a good one
2010/8/24
形式:Kindle版|Amazonが確認した購入
Most of the reviews that appear for this book are of a paperback anthology of Theodore Sturgeon stories. The Kindle book is not that anthology, it is just the single story (albeit of novella length) called "The Perfect Host." That's the bad news; the good news is that is an __excellent__ story. It is more horror (or "dark fantasy," if you prefer) than science fiction, but, unlike most dark fantasy, it does not deal in familiar themes such as vampires or werewolves. In fact, I was more than three-quarters of the way through the novella before I had any idea of where it was going. The story is told in a series of chapters, each narrated by a different character. The narrators do not contradict each other (this is no "Rashomon"), but each of them tells their part of the story so strangely that you start to wonder which of them is crazy, or if they all are. At one point, author Theodore Sturgeon himself appears as one of the narrators, and even he can't figure out what is going on. The ending wraps everything up, in a surprising and chilling way.

Love me tender, love me true
2001/2/24
形式:ペーパーバック
I now have all 7 volumes - all 7 available currently. But I only got volume 5 about a month ago, much later than 6 and 7. And the biggest problem I am facing now - how am I going to make it last till they print the 8th?! I read one story per week - though I die to gulp them down and make a feast of reading this book. Each precious tender love story - only one a week. Once in a week I sit down and switch the world off and read about love - because that is what Sturgeon have been writing about all his life. He takes you by hand and shows you that somebody's Eden is always somebody's else Hell; and makes you walk beside a quiet girl - quietly.. Or sit and listen to a slow dialogue of two cowboys near the fire - and at the last words to burst out laughing only to smile sadly and tenderly a minute later... Theodore Sturgeon makes you love life - and that is the best compliment I could pay any writer.

Bring more Sturgeon to Kindle
2009/5/1
形式:Kindle版|Amazonが確認した購入
For some reason, the other reviews for this novella seem to be for other books. Like nearly all Theodore Sturgeon material, this one (The Perfect Host) is thought provoking with a bit of a twist. The lack of other Sturgeon books for the Kindle is one of my biggest disappointments in the Kindle library. This one gives you the flavor of his writing. You'll want more.
