Cover Art - "Love Bites" edited by Trisha Telep

Here is the UK cover for Love Bites which will probably be released here in North America as The Mammoth Book of Vampire Romance 2. Due out August 27, 2009 in the UK (no US/Canada release date yet).

UPDATE (0304): Final versions of the US and UK covers have been posted here.

Another bestselling collection of original Vampire Romance stories from the finest writers of the genre.

A wonderful variety of compellingly original vampire stories, many of them wholly unexpected, from award-winning, New York Times bestselling authors.

There are typical vampires who would be right at home in a horror story or a gothic romance; historical vampires; contemporary, gritty, urban vampires; fang-in-cheek comedy; boy-meets-girl sweetheart stories (if a little bloodier!); and erotic tales of inhuman passions and midnight pleasures.

Look out, too, for stand-alone stories relating to existing series and characters of contributing authors, or stories which develop more fully characters who have only walk-on parts in those authors’ longer fiction.
