Default Some of Your Blood

I'm about to start Some of Your Blood by Theodore Sturgeon. At 190 pages, I hope to post my review in the next few days.

Anyone have any impressions?

I was reading a little bit about the writing techniques in the novel, and I found it interesting that Sturgeon actually directs the reader to perform certain action, such as removing a file from a cabinet. Interesting, and I look forward to your review of the book.

You're going to enjoy Some of Your Blood. Sturgeon is one of the greatest science fiction writers of all time. Some of Your Blood made my list of 10 classic horror novels you can finish in one evening too. It's an epistolary novel, too, which makes it part of the same grand horror tradition as Carrie, Dracula, and Fangland.

Oh, wait. Fangland sucked. It WAS an epistolary novel though.

Seriously, Some of Your Blood is great.
