Book blurb for a collection of short stories

Does anyone have advice on how to write a blurb for a collection of short stories (or novelettes, in my case.) I've been reading loads of articles on book blurbs and get the general idea how to go about it - but nothing really applies to short stories. My novelettes are connected but otherwise vary wildly in theme, style and genre.

The simple answer is to go to Amazon and read other people's blurbs for similar collections and see which ones attract your attention, Susannah.
