Octavia E. Butler: H is for Horse explores the juvenilia of the renowned Black science fiction writer. Drawing on unpublished manuscripts from Butler’s archive, the first-person chapters illustrate how young Octavia’s love of horses shaped her understandings of slavery, racism, and the environment growing up in segregated Pasadena, California.

Chi-ming Yang is Professor of English at the University of Pennsylvania, where she teaches 18th-century British poetry, animal and monster studies, and histories of race, abolition, empire, and Orientalism, per her previous book, Performing China: Virtue, Commerce, and Orientalism in Eighteenth-Century England.
