'The Octavia Butler novel for our times' THE ATLANTIC
'My book of the year . . . completely devours the genre which gave rise to it' JUNOT DÍAZ
The final ground-breaking novel from renowned, bestselling author Octavia E. Butler.
A young girl wakes up in the woods, gravely injured and alone, with no memory of what happened or who she is.
As Shori heals, she realises that she isn't like the people around her, which leads to a shocking discovery. She is a fifty-three-year-old vampire, and in terrible danger.
To save herself, Shori must learn anew everything about the power and desires that she holds, the life that was stolen from her - and those who want her dead.

'One of the most significant literary artists of the twentieth century' JUNOT DIAZ
'Octavia Butler was a visionary' VIOLA DAVIS
