What in the world would happen If... A college professor eavesdrops on two coeds having a cat-fight over a man and finds a way to conquer the world? Some visitors from space show up just in time to solve a tricky love triangle involving two frantic females and one dumbfounded man? The man in the first flying saucer turns out to be related to the boy next door? Mixing humor and horror, everyday reality and nightmare surrealism, Sturgeon writes with excitement and inspiration, and his imagination takes us always one leap further than we ever expect. Included here are the classic "Thunder and Roses" with the unforget table "A Way Home" plus seven others, all rich in ideas and that special sensitivity that is Sturgeon''s alone.
