![]() ![]() I started and finished Kindred in one day. I read all five books in the Patternist series as quickly as I could buy them. Butler's work is that inspiring and that powerful.Īfter Bloodchild, I was hooked. After I finished "Furor Scribendi" and "Positive Obsession," I went home and started submitting my own stories for publication. But it was really the two essays that got me hooked. The stories entertained me, scared me, challenged me, and made me think in whole new ways. Butler started with her short story and essay collection Bloodchild and Other Stories. Once I discovered it, I was overcome with the sentiment that I should have been reading her my whole life. I didn't start reading the work of the grand dame of science fiction until my early 20s. In romantic comedies, someone always says some cheesy line about wishing that they had found their significant other earlier in life so they could have had more time with them. ![]()
