A Whisper of Blood: A Collection of Modern Vampire Stories has landed

[ellen_datlow]

I received my author's copies yesterday, but didn't say anything because pub date is tomorrow (August 1st) and the book wasn't on the BN.COM website yet. I just checked and now it is:
A Whisper of Blood

The book, which contains both Blood is Not Enough and A Whisper of Blood looks fantastic! In addition to the gorgeous wraparound cover, the front of which I've posted here earlier, the book has black endpapers and decent paper quality...better than some of my other anthologies. It's $9.98 for 588 pages of fiction. It's under the Fall River imprint of B&N and presumably is available in the bargain areas of the store.

I'll be receiving contributor copies soon but to anyone in the book reading this, it'll take awhile to send out the 36 or so copies. A few I'm grabbing from my own batch to hand carry to Denvention to La Cadigan (who has two stories--one from each volume) and Edward Bryant.

Just called the local store. They do NOT have any copies yet, & the computer is showing it as OOP, though w/ a release date of 8/11. The young man w/ whom I spoke was a little confused how to proceed, but he's going to try to order a copy anyway & mentioned that the books ARE listed as being in the warehouse, so I should have one before too long. But not today, alas *pout*

Oops. Yes. The release date IS the 11th; the book is in the warehouse not stores...maybe what's online is a "preorder option." Sorry for the confusion.

Tease. ;-P

Really, I'm looking forward to it!!
