Fledgling giveaway Octavia E. Butler

The 2005 novel Fledgling was the final book written by Octavia E. Butler before her sudden death. The standalone is a vampire novel unlike any other, and centers around Shori, a 53-year-old member of the Ina species. The Ina and humans have a relationship that's both mutually beneficial and violent, and Shori—who resembles a ten-year-old Black girl—is an enigma to herself, and to the humans whose blood she craves. 

This November, Grand Central Publishing is releasing a beautiful reissue of Fledgling, and we're giving away ten copies. Enter your email address to win!

Fledgling

By Octavia E. Butler

"A master storyteller, Butler casts an unflinching eye on racism, sexism, poverty, and ignorance and lets the reader see the terror and beauty of human nature." — The Washington Post

This is the story of an apparently young, amnesiac girl whose alarmingly unhuman needs and abilities lead her to a startling conclusion: She is in fact a genetically modified, 53-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.
