I read somewhere that this was not as good as some of her others and that it was too depressing. I actually really like this one as it took off with another of Butler's very original ideas, while still being tied to the other earlier Patternist series books. I think most if not all of her books are rather depressing, but interesting anyway. I think the depressing aspect springs from her work being largely social commentary. I love her writing.

Her writings (date published):

**Xenogenesis Trilogy**
Dawn (1987)
Adulthood Rites(1988)
Imago (1989)

**Patternist Series**
Wild Seed (1980)
Mind of My Mind (1977)
Patternmaster (1976)
Clay's Ark (1984)
Survivor (1978)

Other Works:

Kindred (1976)
Parable of the Sower (1994)
"Speech Sounds" -- appeared in Asminov's Dec. 1983 and Blood Child and Other Stories (1995)
"Blood Child" -- appeared in Asminov's Jun 1984 and Blood Child and Other Stories (1995)

---Blood Child (1984)
---Evening and the Morning and the Night (1987)
---Near of Kin (1971)
---Speech Sounds (1983)
---Crossover (1971)

Octavia Butler always writes wonderful books, especially about post-apocalyptic America. Highly recommended.
