Theodore Sturgeon
Theodore Sturgeon was born February 26, 1918 in Staten Island, New York. He was born Edward Hamilton Waldo in New York City, later adopting his stepdad’s last name and took on another first name.

He went to sea for three years, and started publishing science fiction in the year 1939 yet stopped producing it after just a few years and went abroad. In 1946 he started writing again and, during the next fifteen years, produced all of the work that he is famous for. Theodore is one of science fiction’s best writers.

Theodore held a wide range of jobs during his lifetime. While still an adolescent, he wanted to be a circus acrobat, however a bout of rheumatic fever prevented him from ever pursuing this dream. From the age of seventeen (in 1935) to 1938, he was a sailor in the merchant marines, elements of which made their way into many of his stories.

He went door to door selling refrigerators. From 1940 to 1941, he managed a hotel in Jamaica, and even worked in several infrastructure jobs (he operated a gas station and a truck lubrication center, and worked at a drydock and construction jobs, driving a bulldozer in Puerto Rico) for the US Army during the early war years.

By 1944, he was an advertising copywriter. Along with television and freelance fiction writing, he opened his own literary agency in New York City, which was later transferred to Scott Meredith. He worked for Fortune magazine as well as other Time Inc. properties on circulation, and also edited a wide variety of publications. He had somewhat irregular output, since he frequently suffered from writer’s block.

The McClure Syndicate bought his first story, and would buy many of his early work. Initially, he wrote primarily short stories, mainly for genre magazines such as Unknown and Astounding, yet also for general interest publications as well like Argosy Magazine. He used the pen name “E. Waldo Hunter” when two of his stories were published in the same Astounding issue. A few of his early stories were signed “Theodore H. Sturgeon”.

Theodore is considered one of the godfathers of contemporary science fiction and dark fantasy.

He also wrote for television and holds in his credits two episodes of the original 1960s “Star Trek” series, for which he created the Vulcan mating ritual and the expression “Live long and prosper”. He’s also credited as being Kurt Vonnegut’s inspiration for his recurring Kilgore Trout character.

He has received the Nebula, the International Fantasy Award, and the Hugo Award. “More Than Human” won the International Fantasy Award for the year 1954. And in the year 2000, he was posthumously honored with a World Fantasy Award for Life Achievement.

Two of his stories were adapted for “The New Twilight Zone”. “A Saucer of Loneliness”, which aired in 1986, was dedicated to his memory. While another, “Yesterday was Monday”, was the inspiration for the episode “A Matter of Minutes”. “Killdozer!” was the inspiration for a made-for-TV-movie of the same name, Marvel comic, and an alt-rock group of the same name, along with becoming the colloquial term for Marvin Heemeyer’s 2004 bulldozer rage incident.

Even though he continued writing through 1983, his work rate dipped noticeably during the later years of his life. He lived for several years in Springfield, Oregon. He died of lung fibrosis on May 8, 1985 at Sacred Heart General Hospital in the neighboring town of Eugene.

Theodore was a member of the all-male literary banqueting club the Trap Door Spiders, which served as the basis of Isaac Asimov’s fictional group of mystery solvers, known as the Black Widowers.

He was married three times, had two different long term committed relationships outside of marriage, divorced one time, and fathered a grand total of seven kids. Dorothe Fillingame, his first wife that he married in 1940 and divorced in 1945, and with whom he had two daughters: Cynthia and Patricia. He was married to Mary Mair, a singer, from 1949 until an annulment in 1951. he married Marion McGahan in 1953 with whom he had Robin and Timothy (son) and Noel and Tandy (daughters).

“The Dreaming Jewels” is the first stand alone novel and was released in 1950. A desperate boy escapes from his abusive home by joining a carnival and gets pulled into a dark conspiracy.

Little Horton “Horty” Bluett is just eight years old, yet still knows a lifetime of sadness. Abused and tormented by his adoptive family, he has had enough. And with this beloved and broken toy that he calls “Junky” as his only companion, the desperate young boy runs off to join a carnival. While there, among the fire-eaters, sideshow freaks, fortune tellers, and assorted “odd people”, he hopes to find some acceptance and a real home, at long last.

However Pierre “Maneater” Montere’s traveling show isn’t any ordinary slice of entertainment, and its performers are nothing like they appear. The Maneater, who is a disgraced doctor, has got some sinister plans for the world which go way beyond merely fleecing unsuspecting rubes and the other easy marks. It’s a horrible and dark scheme which requires unleashing all of the extraterrestrial power of the dreaming jewels, and the unwitting aid from a young boy that might be much more remarkable than he has ever imagined.

“More Than Human” is the second stand alone novel and was released in 1952.
One powerful entity, and sex misfits.

Individually, they’re a seemingly simpleminded young man that lives in the wood able to read the thoughts of others, twin girls barely able to speak yet able to teleport across huge distances, one runaway girl with telekinetic powers, and one infant with a mind like a supercomputer. Together, they’re the Gestalt: a single extraordinary being made up of remarkable parts, although one vital piece could be missing.

However are they really the next stage in human development or actually harbingers of civilization’s end? The answer could come when they’re joined by Gerry. He is powerfully telepathic, yet lacks a moral compass, and his hatred of the world which has rejected him might prove catastrophic.
