Review: Bloodchild - I’m sad to say I have only just discovered Olivia Butler’s fiction. Some of these stories were astonishing, in that themes which are so familiar to us in 2022 were written so long ago, when these concepts were original. Her writing is beautifully lucid and her scientific foundations are well researched. Her aliens, alternative worlds and challenges to humanity are wonderfully imagined. On the whole, I much prefer these short stories to the novels, where I find the number of unfinished sub-plots frustrating. A great place to begin with this underrated author. Review: It was a gift.

Recipient said it was very good. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good collection of stories by Octavia E Butler *by A***R on 16 February 2021* I have read a couple of books by the author. She is fantastic. The kind if stories that make you reflect on things. I liked the fact that Ocatvia E Butler adds where she got the inspiration/idea for the story. I also loved the essays, particularly the one that she talks about how she wanted to become a writer. ## Frequently Bought Together - Bloodchild and Other Stories - The Parable of the Sower (Parable, 1) - Wild Seed (Patternist, 1) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/56810368-bloodchild-and-other-stories](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/56810368-bloodchild-and-other-stories) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-09-10*
