About this title

About the Author:

A writer who darkly imagined the future we have destined for ourselves in book after book, and also one who has shown us the way toward improving on that dismal fate, OCTAVIA E. BUTLER (1947-2006) is recognized as among the bravest and smartest of contemporary fiction writers. A 1995 MacArthur Award winner, Butler transcended the science fiction category even as she was awarded that community's top prizes, the Nebula and Hugo Awards. She reached readers of all ages, all races, and all religious and sexual persuasions. For years the only African-American woman writing science fiction, Butler has encouraged many others to follow in her path.

Synopsis:

A NEWLY EXPANDED EDITION OF OCTAVIA BUTLER'S ONLY COLLECTION OF SHORT STORIES A stunning collection of chilling fiction, including Hugo and Nebula Award winning stories, from the "grand dame" of science fiction, whose Parable of the Sower has now sold over 100,000 copies. In a field dominated by white male authors, Octavia E. Butler's perspective on the sci-fi genre is certainly unique.
