Why read it?
1 author picked Bloodchild as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I'm a longtime fan of Octavia E. Butler, who often takes the reader to unexpected places with the originality of her characters and stories. Sadly, she passed much too young, age 58, leaving her fans with a fairly small number of books. Over the years I've kind of rationed my reading, not wanting to get to the point where I've nothing new of hers to read. So it's been a while since I've read any of her work, and Bloodchild did not disappoint.
