Edward Hamilton Waldo, a renowned American science fiction writer, published his work under the pseudonym Theodore Sturgeon, a name change he adopted following his mother's divorce. Born on Staten Island, New York, Sturgeon's writing career began in 1938 when he sold his first short story.
Sturgeon is perhaps most famous for his novel "More Than Human," published in 1953, as well as his chilling short horror story, "IT," which has been anthologized numerous times over the years. In addition to his literary work, Sturgeon contributed to various television projects, including "Tales of Tomorrow" in 1951, "The Invaders" in 1967, "Star Trek" in 1966, and "The Twilight Zone" in 1985.
Sturgeon's short fiction has been featured in prominent publications such as "Astounding Science Fiction," "Unknown," "Argosy," and "Ellery Queen." His influence can be seen in the work of notable authors like Ray Bradbury and Kurt Vonnegut Jr., and he has been praised by the Grand Master, Stephen King.
