Yes, the vampire meme has been all over the joint. Another YA vampire book out this fall is Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. And of course there was The Historian, by Elizabeth Kostova, a hugely hyped book which is still on the charts.

It all feeds the PEEPS beast, I figure.

Yeah, for some reason, the whole SF /vampire thing seems to be happening right now. Peeps (that’s PEEPS!) is the first, but there’s the Butler. I also just got a story from Garth Nix that has something similar. Not sure why, though. It’s like the zombie thing. Everyone’s doing zombies all of a sudden, and now sfnal vampires (from PEEPS).

It’s a really fine book (I read an advance copy a few weeks ago), with a wonderfully engaging narrative voice, and I’ll certainly nudge people toward reading it.

I hear Octavia Butler’s new novel deals with vampires/symbiosis as well. There’s life in the old bloodsuckers yet…

Kudos on the release of Peps, though I doubt I can use the word more than once in passing without getting flogged my self, though I surely will make the attempt.
I must say that ‘teen’ fiction is sorely lacking in the vampire novel genre and hopefully yours will live up to the insane exceptions I hold for it.
No doubt because of The Midnighters and So yesterday’s (( I did read the uglies but I enjoyed the whole jumping of of building’s thing combined with hovering skateboards way more that the actual plot- sorry.)) amazing success in my mind. I’m looking forward to peeps [oh, by the way thought I would mention that I would have filled this comment with the word peeps as much as posable just so you could see how fun the word really is- but I didn't, unfortunately.] and hope it is not like a few other vampire novels that I have been unfortunate enough to read. Though I am assured by the ‘Young adult’ that it can’t get to corny or tacky. [Though I'm just assuming.]

That’s as good as my flogging gets. **Best of luck **
