'The Octavia Butler novel for our times' THE ATLANTIC 'My book of
the year . . . completely devours the genre which gave rise to it'
JUNOT DIAZ The final ground-breaking novel from renowned,
bestselling author Octavia E. Butler. A young girl wakes up in the
woods, gravely injured and alone, with no memory of what happened
or who she is. As Shori heals, she realises that she isn't like the
people around her, which leads to a shocking discovery. She is a
fifty-three-year-old vampire, and in terrible danger. To save
herself, Shori must learn anew everything about the power and
desires that she holds, the life that was stolen from her - and
those who want her dead. PRAISE FOR OCTAVIA E. BUTLER, THE NEW YORK
TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR 'In the ongoing contest over which
dystopian classic is most applicable to our time... for sheer
peculiar prescience, Butler's novel may be unmatched' NEW YORKER
'Octavia Butler was playing out our very real possibilities as
humans. I think she can help each of us to do the same' GLORIA
STEINEM 'Butler's prose, always pared back to the bone, delineates
the painful paradoxes of metamorphosis with compelling precision'
GUARDIAN 'One of the most significant literary artists of the
twentieth century' JUNOT DIAZ 'Octavia Butler was a visionary'
VIOLA DAVIS 'Her evocative, often troubling, novels explore
far-reaching issues of race, sex, power and, ultimately, what it
means to be human' NEW YORK TIMES
