The vamps have hit the streets… and rumor has it they’re ready to party.

In other words, By Blood We Live is finally out! You remember, right? The John Joseph Adams-edited vampire anthology I gave you a sneak preview of back in March, the one featuring a quarter-million words of the best of the last thirty years of vampire short fiction? The one with stories by John Langan, Robert J. Sawyer, Elizabeth Bear, and Lilith Saintcrow (not to mention Neil Gaiman, Anne Rice, Harry Turtledove, Stephen King, Caitlín R. Kiernan, Sergei Lukyanenko, Tanith Lee, Joe Hill, Kevin J. Anderson, L. A. Banks, and Catherynne M. Valente, among others)? The one that includes a definitive vampire fiction bibliography for further reading. The one vampire anthology you absolutely need on your bookshelf.

It’s out! And in-stock* at Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble, and other e-tailers, and very likely on the shelves at a better bookstore near you (and if it isn’t, make ‘em order you one).

So what are you waiting for? Go get it!

And don’t forget to click on the cover above and check out the official website, with free samples, author interviews, and much, much more.
