I talk about Blood and Other Cravings, about the mixing of genres, and a bit about marketing: http://tinyurl.com/8545xdd
There will be a group reading from Blood and Other Cravings Friday 3-4pm in the Tor suite--(no room number yet but it will be a Lanai suite).
Reading will be
Barbara Roden
Steve Rasnic Tem
Elizabeth Bear
I'm hoping Nicole Le Boef-Little will also be participating. I'll confirm once I hear back from them.

If you'd like to know what the book is about, you can read my introduction on Erin Underwood's blog: Underwords--you can read excerpts from a bunch of books and scroll down to find my entry.

Brendan Moody's blog The Stars at Noonday
Best quote:
"In fact, the stories in this latest volume are so diverse, and the theme of vampirism such a general one, that it feels more like a non-theme anthology of the first order. Ranging from psychological horror to ghost stories to dark fantasy to Lovecraftian cosmicism, Blood and Other Cravings has a first-rate story for readers of every taste."

"I truly enjoyed this. These stories are the literary equivalent of the gentleman killer who butchers you without splashing so much as a drop of blood on his perfectly tailored suit. They’re brutal and beautiful; thoughtful and nightmare-inducing."

We've gotten a few early reviews (the book won't officially be out till September 13th) and most seem to "get" the anthology, which is always a plus.
Some quotes (and links where applicable)
From Publishers Weekly: "Datlow (Blood Is Not Enough) has created another must-have anthology for discerning vampire and horror fans."
From Library Journal: "This collection of horror stories selected by an award-winning sf/fantasy editor shows that a wide assortment of fiends share vampire cravings. Several stories will leave readers feeling uncomfortable, even queasy. But for those stout of heart and eager to sample brilliant writing, this is a terrific anthology."
From Romantic Times (!) "This book is tailor-made for our post-Twilight world. Bloodsucking vampires are played out in popular culture, and it’s no coincidence that the most frightening ghoulies in Datlow’s latest collection opt to drain their victims’ life essences (souls, emotions, etc.) instead of blood."
From Shroud http://tinyurl.com/3hl5aha : "This top-notch collection takes vampirism as its theme, but each story veers far and away from the now-worn tropes of the genre."...
"Blood and Other Cravings reminds us of why we should fear those that stalk the night."
