Another favourite Black author for #BHM of mine is Octavia E. Butler. Mind you, I’m struggling to choose one book so am going for both #Kindred and #Bloodchild

If you don’t know where to start check out Parable of the Sower

Just finished #octaviabutler book #bloodchild the last paragraph hit me like a brick

Alt text Title: Blood Child by Octavia Butler Title is in white thin letters against a honey mustard yellow and black design. Below the title is a long, solid black rectangle, and next to it is a deep red square with a spidery looking hand reaching downward. Below this is a smaller white rectangle bordered in black with black letters, 'and other stories.' Below that is a gray background with a white egg made to look like old film. Across the bottom of the egg is 'Octavia Butler' in black letters and yellow letters of editor(s) against a fuzzy outline black rectangular shape.
