Peking Man lives

I'm delighted to report that John Joseph Adams has just bought reprint rights to my 1996 short story "Peking Man" for his new anthology By Blood We Live for Night Shade Books.

"Peking Man" was originally published as the lead story in Dark Destiny III: Children of Dracula edited by my friend Edward E. Kramer, and it won Canada's Aurora Award for Best English short story of the year.
