OctaviaButler.net A fan blog for Octavia E. Butler, writer.

Here are two short stories published on scifi.com and in the second edition of Bloodchild, available at Seven Stories Press. I read this story and I grieved again over Ms. Butler’s untimely passing. The Book of Martha story is prophetic in its description of a writer who finds herself suddenly with God. To me, Amnesty centers around themes of sameness\difference and of colonization in a post-alien-colonization US.

Here is a list which includes Ms. Butler's 12 novels and 1 short-story collection. They are organized by series. Compilations are also listed.
