Bloodchild and Other Stories by Octavia E. Butler

dark mysterious reflective medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.5

i took a long break before I finished reading this bc I only had to read part for school, but even so I remember most of the stories I read two years ago quite vividly. Octavia Butler is immensely talented in the horror, sci-fi, and dystopian genres. i am haunted by some of the imagery from these short stories, even though some others were much less memorable for me. I ended up writing an essay on my favorite, the morning and the evening and the night, and disability representation. I'm glad I finally finished the last few pieces in this book because I also really loved amnesty.
