Unexpected Stories

Octavia Butler

This is a small collection: it contains just a novella and a short story. But they are previously unknown short works from sci fi great Octavia Butler, and they definitely showcase her talent. Both stories draw you in from the start, immersing you in a different world that is believable and interesting. The characters are believable, too, and both stories kept me eagerly reading to the end. If you've never read any Butler before, these stories are a fine introduction. If you're already a Butler fan, you won't want to miss them.
