A collection of SF stories with elements of fantasy and horror, an American classic of fantasy literature. A charming story about an intergalactic adventure, witches, vampires and a mysterious journey of a man to the stars... Featuring man's staggering journey to the stars... In a Tenn's-eye view of the world, "staggering" can be interpreted in more ways than one, of course. Notably - The warm, human interpretation The feminist interpretation The green-transparent-bubble interpretation The man-in-the-street interpretation Mr. Tenn has included a charming witch tale, a really delicious vampire item, and a superior machine (intergalactic hit) story. These have nothing to do with man's staggering journey to the stars. They are simply here to add to the confusion. Then again, why couldn't they have something to do with the square root of man?
