Bloodchild and Other Stories

I've only read another book by Octavia Butler (Kindred), and that was the graphic novel adaptation. Now I'm angry at myself for not picking up this book first. Butler was a genius. She truly was. Her stories show such great mastery of the craft of writing. She was one of a kind, and truly deserves more recognition. If this collection of short stories is just a tiny piece of her work, I'm quite sure her novels will be even more fantastic!
