So glad I saw your post

I've got to read more of his stuff

Have you read any Lucius Shepard? I think you'd really dig "The Man Who Painted the Dragon Griaule"

Every time I read about something Sturgeon did, it turns out to be not only amazing, but ahead of his competition in weird ways. The Dreaming Jewels was, when I read it, weirdly contemporary with the YA horror I was also reading. Motherfucker wrote it in 19-fucking-50.

Yeah! This one's from . . . 1959

Just an amazing, tragic, hopeful story that's revealed to you, layer by layer in a stream of consciousness narrative, just amazing stuff

Thanks for posting! What a great story, I had to re-read it.
The title reminded me of Damon Knight's "The Beachcomber", only because there is the Sea!
cheers

Oh nice! I'll have to check that one out!
