From back cover: Science fiction's most argumentative writer, Mr. Del Rey, is an authority on music, religion, biology, witchcraft, extra sensory perception, flying saucers and worse. In fact, he would probably be unbearable if it were not for his sense of humor, wit and love of fallible humanity. This is what makes him a good writer. In fact, very good indeed. Science fiction fans have long known this.
MORTALS AND MONSTERS provides a splendid opportunity for the rest of the world not to be left out...
***
That blurb pretty much covers MORTALS AND MONSTERS, except that I ought to add that this collection is classic science fiction at its best, and includes the stories below:
And the Truth
The Years Draw Nigh
And it Comes Out Here
The Seat of Judgment
The Dwindling Years
No Place Like Home
Lady of Space
Instinct
Return Engagement
The Course of Logic
Spawning Ground
Recessional
