One thing's for sure there's no justice when so many bad Science Fiction Authors are still here and Octavia E. Butler is gone - where's the justice? Every interview with her seems to have been a Gem: I firmly believe if she had more of an outgoing personality she'd be up there with Stephen King, maybe carrying Science Fiction the way he carries Horror.

@SearcherForETI Not dead. Just transformed. And as us nerds know, just because you can't SEE something(subatomic particles) doesn't mean that it isn't there. She's evolved into the next stage of our journey. have peace:)
