- References to Butler’s unpublished manuscripts use the Huntington Library’s catalogue system, the code OEB plus a number denoting its place in the collection. As in Octavia E. Butler, I have made the editorial decision to correct spelling and syntax in the unpublished manuscripts to reflect the work Butler would have meticulously done had she lived to see them published.
