Story
Up until one minute ago, Gurlick was merely a specimen of homo sapiens, and a substandard specimen at that. But now, this craven, seething, barely literate drunk has ingested a spore that traveled light years before touching down on our planet...a spore that has, in turn, ingested Gurlick, turning him into a host for the Medusa. The Medusa is a hive mind so vast that it encompasses the life forms of a billion planets - and it is determined to ingest Earth as well.

Story
Charlie Johns has been snatched from his home and delivered to the future world of Ledom, where violence is a vague, improbable notion and technology has triumphed over hunger, overpopulation, pollution, and even time and space. But there is a change Charlie finds even more shocking: gender is a thing of the past. This is a civilization in which tensions between male and female and the human preoccupation with sex no longer exist.

Story
Travel to other planets is now a reality, and with overpopulation stretching the resources of Earth, the necessity of finding habitable worlds is growing ever more urgent. There’s a problem though—because the spaceships are slower than light, any communication between the exploring ships and Earth would take years.
Tom and Pat are identical twin teenagers. As twins they’ve always been close, so close that it seemed like they could read each other’s minds.

An adrenaline-charged tale of unrelenting suspense that sparks with raw and savage energy... The newspapers scream out headlines that spark terror across the city. Ten murders on the New York City subway. Ten grisly crimes that defy all reason -- no pattern, no m.o., no leads for police to pursue. The press dubs the fiend the “Subway Psycho”; the NYPD desperately seeks their quarry before the city erupts in mass hysteria. But they won't find what they're looking for.

This is the way the world ends...for the last time. It starts with the great red rift across the heart of the world's sole continent, spewing ash that blots out the sun. It starts with death, with a murdered son and a missing daughter. It starts with betrayal, and long dormant wounds rising up to fester. This is the Stillness, a land long familiar with catastrophe, where the power of the Earth is wielded as a weapon. And where there is no mercy.

Not as expected but a nice, easy audio book

Publisher's Summary
Named one of the Top 40 Horror Books of All Time by the Horror Writers Association, Theodore Sturgeon’s dark and foreboding look at the vampire myth was an instant classic when it was originally published.
Army psychiatrist Philip Outerbridge receives a confidential folder containing the letters, memos, and transcripts for a young soldier named George Smith - a quiet young man with a terrible past and a shocking secret. As Outerbridge conducts George’s therapy, he gradually discovers the truth about George’s traumatic childhood, his twisted romance with an older woman named Anna, and the unusual obsession George keeps hidden from the world.
With the masterful touch that earned him the Hugo and Nebula awards, Theodore Sturgeon creates a character of both unsettling violence and irresistible humanity, eliciting both horror and sympathy.

Not what you're expecting
Throw a different title or even cover art on it and you'd be fine. This is not a vampire book, or really even horror. It's more of a psychological deep-dive into the mind of a twisted, emotionally stunted hemophage. Not a bad listen/read, almost the written version of a found footage film, just don't hold your breath for a big supernatural reveal.

Excellent non-scifi Sturgeon
I read this long ago and thought it was excellent and still think so. Its a Silence of the Lambs kind of thing, though not a serial killer story. Very much a psychological investigation with some disturbing revelations. But do not think it will be a SF novel.

Before "Science Of The Lambs" there was this.
This masterwork by Theodore Sturgeon is incredible. a hidden gem expertly written and narrated. the language and the format works well. The story creeps up on you slowly. It reads with a sense of voyeurism that allows us to get into the head of a disturbed individual as his psychiatrist discovers who this person really is. if you like horror and thrillers, I highly recommend "Some of Your Blood".

THE FATHER
With the exception of the very beginning and the very end, this story is told through letters and telegrams. It is exceptionally well written, intelligently done, and gets creepier as it goes along. I would not say it is exceptionally scary, yet it is troubling. It is a mystery. You might find yourself having empathy for a killer. I promise you will not be bored.
Narrator does an excellent job.

Not sure I get the point of this at all!
Don’t waste your valuable time on this one. The booj meandered from start to finish and I fail to see what the point of the tale was. It was categorised as a horror/thriller. I can tell you it was neither. The book was more of a sad recount by phsyciactric professionals
of a mixed up kid who grew up in a house with a drunken violent father and developed a taste for blood in to adulthood. That’s it!

Some of your Blood
"It is, it really is fiction", such reassuring words to draw the listener in from narrator Malcolm Hillgartner reading Theodore Sturgeon's book.
We hear the story of George Smith. We are given through various first person accounts how George isn't like other people, somehow strange with some issues surrounding him.
But what?
Sadly, there's a reluctance to reveal. I understand that the author is well renowned for psychological thrillers and horrors. This didn't impress me. The book doesn't get going until the latter half, but even here explanations and revelations are stretched.
Yet the Audible narrator, Malcolm Hillgartner, kept my attention. It is due to his narration that I stayed with the story. 4/10 but mainly for the narration.
Scoring: 0 bad; 1-3 poor; 4-6 average; 7-9 good; 10 excellent

I can't call this a horror story in the true sense, nor vampire story. this could have been a plot to a Law & Order: Criminal Intent as it seems to be more involved in solving than scaring.
