We have here an anthology of Tenn's short stories, mostly drawn from "Galaxy" Magazine.
The Human Angle contains the following stories.[1]
• "Project Hush" (Galaxy 1954)
• "The Discovery of Morniel Mathaway" (Galaxy 1955)
• "Wednesday’s Child" (Fantastic Universe 1956)
• "The Servant Problem" (Galaxy 1955)
• "Party of the Two Parts" (Galaxy 1954)
• "The Flat-Eyed Monster" (Galaxy 1955)
• "The Human Angle" (Famous Fantastic Mysteries 1948)
• "A Man of Family" (original)[2]
Very worth reading, as his character development was a cut above the bulk of 1950's Science fiction.

This is a review of the title story 'The Human Angle' written in 1948. It is in fact a rather simple and uninspiring pulp vampire story with a very predictable ending, neither good nor bad. The rest I have not read as yet.
The writing style is extremely dated and the "SURPRISE! IRONY!!" endings become too predictable. Couldn't finish it.
