Love Not Human

Summary: Thoughts after 18 years
Review: I bought it for the cover illustration, in about 1983; a painting of a diver confronting a Plesiosaur underwater. It was for one of the many stories in the collection by various sci-fi authors. I started with that story (the final one) and found it was about a diver who meets an intelligent Loch Ness monster that cares for his injuries from an accident. I went on to read the other stories, and soon learned the meaning of the title. All of the sci-fi stories feature a love bond between a human and some non-human being or intelligence. One was about a boy and his telepathic "man-o'-war" creature. It's been about 18 years, but some of the stories have really stuck. I also like to read fiction in short bursts which made this book a great selection for me. Many stories by the big names of sci-fi: Piers Anthony, Isaac Asimov, and many more.
