Quote by Octavia Butler
What I'm working on now - I'm back to fantasy, although considering that it's me, I'm turning it into a kind of science fantasy. It's a vampire story - but my vampires are biological vampires. They didn't become vampires because someone bit them they were born that way.
Summary
In this quote, the speaker explains their current project, revealing that they are currently exploring the genre of fantasy. However, they add their own unique twist by infusing elements of science fiction, creating a subgenre known as science fantasy. They specifically mention working on a vampire story, but deviate from the traditional vampire narrative by presenting the vampires as biological beings rather than individuals who were turned through biting. By establishing this distinction, the speaker brings a fresh perspective to the vampire lore, emphasizing that their vampires are born with vampiric traits instead of acquiring them through external means.
