Book Reviews of Some of Your Blood
Book Review: A short character study that's quick and to the point, much like a knife to the throat
Summary: 5 Stars
Meet George. George is a fellow from about as far back into the woods as you can get, and boy is he a monster. His story probably won't take you much more than an evening to get through, but it'll be a damn creepy evening.
The novel is based primarily around the conversations between doctors and other officials concerning George's condition, followed by a short autobiography on the man. We learn more and more of George's issues as the conversations progress, and it's capped with a resolution that's much like a punch to the gut. It's unsettling stuff, but I'm not going to spoil a thing.
From what I've gathered, Sturgeon was much more prevalent in the science fiction field than he was in psychological horror. Some of his classic offerings, such as the labyrinthine "More Than Human" remained in print while "Some of Your Blood" tumbled into general obscurity. I find that almost criminal, but what can you do. Millipede Press released a hideously over-priced version of this tiny novel awhile back, but you'll more than likely have to special-order it from the bookstore nonetheless.
Not only is "Some of Your Blood" as chilly as a meatlocker, it's also an effective and thought-provoking character study that's bound to linger with the reader for a good deal of time. Read it and weep.
