Clay's Ark (1984) is a novel by American science fiction author Octavia E. Butler. The last published of her Patternist series, the novel serves as a prequel that accounts for the arrival of the Clay Ark disease that leads to the evolution of clayarks, the mutants that threaten human survival in the series debut novel, 1976's Patternmaster, and 1978's Survivor, which Butler later disavowed.
Commentary
Octavia Butler was a talent, a real writer with a formidable skill.
Clay's Ark is my favorite Butler novel.
It's one of those rare science fiction books that is accessible to mainstream readers. It's very science fictional, yet it reads like a thriller — or, if your prefer, like Stephen King. The horror is happening in our world, and every reader recognizes our world.
