Henry-ish plot twists, sparkling character development, and almost archetypal, Why didn't I think of that? story ideas. Early Sturgeon masterpieces include It, a story about the violence done by a creature spontaneously born from garbage and mud, and Helix the Cat, about an inventor's bizarre encounter with a disembodied soul and the cat that saves it.

This novel gained critical praise from critic H. R. F. Keating: " had almost finished writing Crime and Mystery: the 100 Best Books, in which I had included The Player on the Other Side . Placing the book squarely in the Queen canon" when he learned that it had been written by Sturgeon. Similarly, William DeAndrea, author and winner of Mystery Writers of America awards, selecting his ten favorite mystery novels for the magazine Armchair Detective, picked The Player on the Other Side as one of them. He said: "This book changed my life . And made a raving mystery fan (and therefore ultimately a mystery writer) out of me. . The book must be 'one of the most skilful pastiches in the history of literature. An amazing piece of work, whomever did it'." " (from Wikipedia).…

He sold his first story, "Heavy Insurance", in 1938 to the McClure Syndicate, which bought much of his early work. It appeared in the Milwaukee Journal on July 16th. At first, he wrote mainly short stories, primarily for genre magazines such as Astounding and Unknown, but also for general-interest publications such as Argosy Magazine. He used the pen name "E. Waldo Hunter" when two of his stories ran in the same issue of Astounding. A few of his early stories were signed "Theodore H. Sturgeon". Although the bulk of Sturgeon's short story work dated from the 1940s and '50s, his original novels were all published between 1950 and 1961. Disliking arguments with John W. Campbell over editorial decisions, Sturgeon only published one story in Astounding after 1950."
