Six extraordinary stories from the author of Kindred, a master of
modern science fiction—including a Hugo and Nebula award–winning
novella. Octavia E. Butler’s classic “Bloodchild,” winner of
both the Nebula and Hugo awards, anchors this collection of
incomparable stories and essays. “Bloodchild” is set on a distant
planet where human children spend their lives preparing to become
hosts for the offspring of the alien Tlic. Sometimes the procedure is
harmless, but often it is not. Also included is the Hugo
Award–winning “Speech Sounds,” about a near future in which
humans must adapt after an apocalyptic event robs them of their
ability to speak. “The Evening and the Morning and the Night,”
another esteemed title in this collection, is a Nebula Award
finalist. In these pages, Butler shows us life on Earth and amongst
the stars, telling her tales with characteristic imagination and
clarity. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Octavia E.
Butler including rare images from the author’s estate.
