E Pluribus Unicorn is a collection of short stories by Theodore Sturgeon.  All of the stories were written between 1947 and 1953, though they don’t seem very dated, aside from occasional archaic-sounding language usage.

The stories are mostly fantasy, though some could be considered almost horror; many are certainly unsettling, most notably The Professor’s Teddy-Bear, with Bianca’s Hands (and perhaps A Way of Thinking) a close second.  Die, Maestro, Die! reminded me of Edgar Allan Poe, in structure, if not in style.  There’s an element of melancholy in several of the stories, including The SIlken-Swift, Scars (which has no elements on fantasy, but is simply a good story), and especially A Saucer of Loneliness.

Overall, I enjoyed the collection; I hadn’t read much by Sturgeon before, and I quite like his writing.
