I think that everything Butler ever wrote deserves 5 stars.

This book is much too short (as was Butler's time on this earth).
It includes five previously published stories, an autobiographical essay, an essay on writing, and two new-to-this book stories.
As well, it includes brief 'afterwords' by Butler about each piece.

Everything in the book is superb, thought-provoking and fascinating.

Contents:

Stories: Bloodchild, The Evening and the Morning and the Night, Near of Kin, Speech Sounds, Crossover

Two Essays: Positive Obsession, Furor Scribendi

New Stories: Amnesty, The Book of Martha
