Harper Audio was founded in 1952 under the name “Caedmon.” Harper Audio still occasionally publishes under its Caedmon label but its real heyday was in the late 1970s. Uniquely, the back of each album featured unique liner notes typically written specifically for the LP. Witness this vintage magazine ad (from Unearth, Spring 1978): The Graveyard Shift with Dudley Knight. Beginning it seems in the mid-1970s Dudley Knight, a U.C. Irvine professor of drama, voiced a series called The Graveyard Shift on KPFK, Los Angeles. The purpose was to tell stories of the macabre. His broadcasts aired weekly with shows of variable length (between half and hour and two and a half hours). Here is a list of broadcast stories, with links to audio when available: Jan. 1974- The Room In The Tower by E.F. Benson (34 min.) May. 1977 – Upon The Dull Earth by Philip K. Dick (55 min.)

Radio Project X: The Other Celia [AUDIO DRAMA] Radio Project X , a great new audio drama troupe out of Toronto, makes a combination of compelling and humorous audio dramatizations – recorded live on stage. The latest one to reach my ears is centered around a terrific adaptation of a creepy Theodore Sturgeon story entitled The Other Celia (aka The Blonde With The Mysterious Body ). Like the other Radio Project X episodes already released, this program is followed by a series of skits, all funny, and all very Canadian – the kind you’d hear on CBC radio in years past. The Other Celia Adapted from the short story by Theodore Sturgeon; Performed by a full cast 1 |MP3| – Approx. 1 Hour 10 Minutes [AUDIO DRAMA] Podcaster: Radio Project X Podcast: August 14, 2012 Something drastic should happen to all snoopers – but nothing as awful and frightful as this!

Pictures Biography Sturgeon's varied creations Miscellaneous Information Reviews of Sturgeon's work Other authors Sturgeon influenced Links of related interest Thanks and acknowledgements. Picture above provided by A. Sturgeon, taken by W. Sturgeon. Biography. Theodore Sturgeon was born Edward Hamilton Waldo on February 26, 1918, at Staten Island, New York. In 1927 his parents divorced, and in 1929 his mother remarried William Sturgeon; around this time Edward changed his name to Theodore because he liked the nickname "Ted". His first story, "Heavy Insurance," was sold in 1938 for five dollars to McClure's Syndicate for publication in newspapers. The sale of "The God in the Garden" to Unknown was his first published science fiction story. Sturgeon died on May 8, 1985. His novel More Than Human won the International Fantasy Award. "Slow Sculpture" won both the Hugo and Nebula awards. He was posthumously awarded the Life Achievement Award at the World Fantasy Awards. This information was gleaned from "Theodore Sturgeon" by Lucy Menger (1981), and from the introduction to "The Ultimate Egoist: volume I: The Complete Stories of Theodore Sturgeon" (1994). Menger's book is an inexpensive biography/discussion of Sturgeon's work. I found it in an overstock/used book store for $1. Stories about Sturgeon (not by him) More biographical information is contained in the Theodore Sturgeon FAQ An obituary of Sturgeon, part of George Willick's SPACELIGHT: Vital Statistics of science fiction/fantasy authors.
