I'm reading the Xenogenesis trilogy by Octavia Butler, written in the 80's. It's... weird. The premise is basically "after a catastrophic nuclear war the survivors have sex with tentacled aliens and bear hybrid babies". Which sounds like bad porn or pure horror, but the books are actually perfectly serious science fiction (well, social and psychological SF, not sciency SF) and pretty good besides, with fascinating aliens. I'm really enjoying it. But yeah... it's weird.
