Octavia Butler - The Authors List

Octavia Butler. On my Authors List with 7 books read. The author here was an amazing science fiction horror novelist who wrote from a African-American and focused on stories of Afro-Futurism spiritualism.

I had been aware of her science fiction novels for a long time and she has been on my to read list for decades. Finally the first book I read in 2020 was the last she wrote before passing away in 2006. The Fledgling was a gripping science fiction horror novel about a vampire. I would go on and read five more of her books during that year. Then I read Parable of the Sower in 2024 and was planning to read the sequel last year but didn't get to it. I will read it this year.
