Liens de sang #[nn]

The cover of this French-language edition speaks volumes before a single page is turned: two chained hands strain upward against a blood-red backdrop, while a pale hand grips the chain from below — a stark, arresting image that captures the brutal heart of Octavia Butler's story. Adapted by Damian Duffy and John Jennings, Liens de sang brings Butler's landmark novel to francophone readers through Presque Lune, translated into a visual language that is both unflinching and deeply human. A powerful addition to any shelf, this 2019 edition reminds us why Butler's voice continues to resonate across languages and generations.
