Reception
Theodore Sturgeon, reviewing the volume for Astounding Science Fiction, described it as "the most unusual science-fiction anthology to have been published to date." He noted that editor Derleth had designed the book "to present stories in the field which are good literary writing, and which have good writing's prime requisite, real characters."
