Henry Kuttner has long been a favourite writer of mine, but somehow in a reading career spanning almost five decades I have managed to overlook Fury.
Kuttner does a good job of differentiating their experience from the common human one, and succeeds very well at making them into something more than human.

Henry Kuttner (l9l4-l958) was alone and in collaboration with his wife, the great science fiction and fantasy writer C.L. Moore, one of the four or five most important writers of the l940's, the writer whose work went furthest in its sociological and psychological insight, to making science fiction a human as well as technological literature.
In the early 1950's, Kuttner and Moore, both citing weariness with writing, even creative exhaustion, turned away from science fiction; both obtained undergraduate degrees in psychology from the University of Southern California and Henry Kuttner, enrolled in an MA program, planned to be a clinical psychologist.
Henry Kuttner died suddenly in his sleep, probably from a stroke, in February l958; Catherine Moore remarried a physician and survived him by almost three decades but she never published again.

Henry Kuttner was one of the more prolific science fiction authors of the middle 20th century.
Kuttner also wrote science fiction for Thrilling Wonder Stories, and it was there, in 1940, that he published the novella Dr. Cyclops.
Ironically, although Kuttner was a highly respected and popular writer during the 1930s, '40s, and '50s -- and the couple often used his name or a male pseudonym for their joint work (he commanded higher fees than his wife) -- he was overshadowed to some extent in later years by Moore.

And although Kuttner's direct influence on movies was limited to a small handful of stories, it lured producers and was felt for decades after his death.
A somewhat longer version (which Kuttner denied was his work), credited to the pseudonym Will Garth, appeared at a later date in hardcover (and was reprinted in 1976), also led to some confusion.
Kuttner's health began to decline during the late '40s, and the couple, who had been living in Red Bank, NJ, moved back to the gentler climate of Laguna Beach, CA.

 In Memoriam, Catherine Lucille Moore, 1911-
I believe, she was the first female swords and sorcery writer, with her exciting tales of Jirel of Joiry, flame-haired warrior maiden, who never submitted to her male conquerors with any grace at all, and frequently roused the Hosts of Hell to fight on her side.
Catherine wrote several novels in collaboration with Henry Kuttner, and after 1954 she wrote mostly screenplays and mystery stories, but her best science fantasy work is all short stories.
In addition to all these, she and her husband Henry Kuttner collaborated on dozens of stories that appeared under pseudonyms too numerous to mention in virtually every pulp sf magazine published during the forties and early fifties.

Kuttner wrote prodigiously for the pulps during the forties, under his own name and a multitude of pen names.
One odd thing is that stories written with Kuttner's byline paid more than those written with Moore's.
Kuttner set the best of his science fiction and fantasy in timeless places well beyond the bounds of the mundane 20th century, and so it holds up pretty well, and does not seem dated when we read it now almost 60 years after it was written.

Henry Kuttner is one of my favorite sci-fi writers of all time (see my article about Kuttner).
Kuttner died early and his signatures are very rare, fetching upward of $500.

I don't remember the name, but I have been told it was written by Henry Kuttner.
Henry Kuttner was, simply put, the best short story writer of his era, with the possible exception of Theodore Sturgeon, who outlived him by many years.
My sister, Marion Zimmer Bradley, noted that everything she ever wrote was because she had read his novel "Fury." Although Sturgeon exceeded him in the end, Sturgeon never wrote with the outrageous sense of humor that Kuttner displayed while, at the same time, working is way into the dark levels of the subconscious.

Henry Kuttner (1915-1958) met his wife, C.L. Moore, when he wrote a letter to Weird Tales praising Moore's classic short story, "Shambleau." After their marriage in 1940, the two achieved great success in the science fiction field, collaborating on every story they published.
Kuttner's greatest Weird Tales contribution is his March 1936 tale of gruesome horror, "The Graveyard Rats."
Henry S. Whitehead (1882-1932), a Harvard graduate and an ordained deacon of the Episcopal Church, was a favorite staple of the early Weird Tales, imbuing many of his stories with a West Indies background gleaned from his years as Acting Archdeacon in the Virgin Islands.

The novel was scheduled and written so quickly Moore said, that the first part (of a three part serial) was in print before they had completed the final installment.
The novel was half-written before the Kuttners themselves truly understood its plot and characters.
Paradoxically, this urgency and improvisation led to a novel with great spontaneity, with high-wire intensity and unpredictability and Fury has been acclaimed as perhaps the only novel at the level of the great Kuttner and Moore short stories which dominated Astounding in the 1940's.
