A review by tlaynejones
Bloodchild and Other Stories by Octavia E. Butler

adventurous dark emotional tense fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Plot
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated

5.0

I didn’t realise there would be essays, by Butler herself, sharing insights/ her thoughts about many of the stories. I loved the short stories (although some are very dark), and hearing the background or context behind the stories made them even better. Love love love.
