Fledglingby Octavia E. Butler Hardcover with Slipcase336 pagesPublisher: Seven Stories Press Fledgling, Octavia Butler’s last novel, is the story of an apparently young, amnesiac g irl whose alarmingly un-human needs and abilities lead her to a startling conclusion: she is in fact a genetically modified, fifty-three-year-old vampire. Forced to discover what she can about her stolen former life, she must at the same time learn who wanted—and still wants—to destroy her and those she cares for, and how she can save herself. Fledgling is a captivating novel that tests the limits of “otherness” and questions what it means to be truly human. Show more
