The Best of Henry Kuttner

Henry Kuttner is an undeservedly overlooked writer from science fiction's formative years. He came aboard after the "golden age" and was a large part of the transition to the "modern era" of SF. It is true that his writing at times could be pedestrian, due more or less to the fact that to make any kind of living by writing in the 40's and fifties, a writer had to write pretty much non-stop. It is also true that at times, Kuttner was writing some of the best SF of his day. Sadly he died early. He was felled by a heart attack at the young age of 42. Towards the end, he was taking advanced psychology courses going for his Master's Degree. There will always be a void in SF of just what may have been.

This book contains 17 stories spread fairly evenly throughout his career.
