Portrait of a Monstrous Human: “Bright Segment” by Theodore Sturgeon

Sam Reader is a literary critic and book reviewer currently haunting the northeast United States. Apart from here at Reactor, their writing can be found archived at The Barnes and Noble Science Fiction and Fantasy Book Blog and Tor Nightfire, and live at Ginger Nuts of Horror, GamerJournalist, and their personal site, strangelibrary.com. In their spare time, they drink way too much coffee, hoard secondhand books, and try not to upset people too much.
