## Description

A newly expanded edition of Octavia E. Butler's only collection of short stories. """"Butler graces new mansions of thought with her eloquent, distinguished and poignant prose. Although this book is little in size, its ideas are splendidly large."""" - Booklist """"The title story is justly famous. Splendid pieces, set forth in calm, lucid prose with never a word wasted."""" - Kirkus Reviews This New York Times notable Book includes the Hugo and the Nebula awards winner Bloodchild and the Hugo Award winner Speech Shounds.

Review: Bloodchild - I’m sad to say I have only just discovered Olivia Butler’s fiction. Some of these stories were astonishing, in that themes which are so familiar to us in 2022 were written so long ago, when these concepts were original. Her writing is beautifully lucid and her scientific foundations are well researched. Her aliens, alternative worlds and challenges to humanity are wonderfully imagined. On the whole, I much prefer these short stories to the novels, where I find the number of unfinished sub-plots frustrating. A great place to begin with this underrated author.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good collection of stories by Octavia E Butler
*by A***R on 16 February 2021*

I have read a couple of books by the author. She is fantastic. The kind if stories that make you reflect on things. I liked the fact that Ocatvia E Butler adds where she got the inspiration/idea for the story. I also loved the essays, particularly the one that she talks about how she wanted to become a writer.
