Wow, a vampire anthology that I'll actually read!

[orrin]

I guess I should say "another one," since I also read Blood is Not Enough and Whisper of Blood.

[ellen_datlow]

LOL. It's told from teen age points of view but is nicely varied (and probably not as sparkly as our editor would have liked ;-) )

That is one good looking TOC. I look forward to reading it.

[ellen_datlow]

hi Jennifer,
Hope you're not disappointed ;-)

[jennifer_brozek]

When you are editing, I rarely am. :)

I heard some of "Late Bloomer" at ICFA. It was pretty funny!

[ellen_datlow]

Suzy tweaked it a little when she got back, but yeah, being a vampire isn't all fun and games--we're hoping to lure the readers in with good stories despite the somewhat lack of "oh what fun it is to be a vampire" material ;-)

I heartily second all the comments; what a line-up (and, I can't help it), what a pitch.

I spoke at a high school Vamp Fest the other day, and a few of the students were clearly fed up with sparkle-pires. They want vampires with fangs--let's hope they find the anthology.

[ellen_datlow]

That's very good to hear...and let's hope they're still interested in a year :-)

I was just talking with my client, who's writing a true vampire tale - fangs, gore, lore, the whole bit - about how half a year ago, we were anticipating just this probability - how by right about now, people would be getting really tired of the sparklepires and ready for some real vampires again. I think I saw the first online evidence of this two weeks ago. It's definitely starting!

That is a brilliant TOC! Delights me to see our Kaaron Warren in there (and our Garth, but I haven't personally published him so it's not quite the same excitement!). I can't wait to read this - would be very cool if it was available at Swancon/Natcon next year :)

[ellen_datlow]

It should be going into copy edit shortly--I'll ask my editor on Monday if she has any idea of a pub date. It would indeed be terrific if it could be out for Swancon.
