Octavia Butler is the first black woman short-story writer to have been published. I have not had the pleasure of reading her other works, but Blood Child is a book I'd recommend to anyone that likes a little twist to their "nighttime" stories!

She can not only take the unreal and make it seem perfectly normal, but can take the perfectly normal and make it jaw-dropping when you least expect it!
