I just noticed that editor Kevin J. Anderson has posted the final TOC for BLOOD LITE 2, which is due this Halloween, 2010. I find myself sandwiched in the middle of a great lineup of authors with some intriguing titles. As Anderson says, there are "31 stories…a real feast with a wide range of subjects, a half dozen New York Times bestselling authors and a host of award winners—we’ve got winners of the Bram Stoker Award, the Nebula Award, the Hugo Award, the World Fantasy Award, even the Grammy Award."
