The Cosmic Rape
Theodore Sturgeon’s The Cosmic Rape (1958) is an unusual and refreshing take on the alien invasion trope — especially for a 1950s novel. Unlike many other reviewers, I found that the mechanics of the work (innumerable characters, short length, and ramshackle structure) do not detract from the overall result. Sturgeon’s prose is, as always, admirable. Although the novel can feel like an outline rather than a fully fleshed out novel like his earlier masterpiece of the genre, More than Human (1953), the end result is a poignant exploration of collective conscious/individuality.
The Synthetic Man
At the age of eight, Horton “Horty” Bluett is a lonely, unhappy adopted child whose best friend is Junky, a crudely made jack-in-the-box with strange-looking jewels for eyes. His sadistic stepfather, Armand Bluett, subjects the boy to relentless psychological and physical abuse, on one occasion cutting off three of his fingers by slamming a closet door on his hand. Horty decides to run away, taking Junky with him.
