They make book trailers, right? Why not make a couple short films from the short stories? Post them on YouTube. Have at least one of the shorts directed by a celebrity or a famous director. The other could be from someone in film school.
Or, take one short story, have several short films based on it? Sort of like that series that was on Starz (think that was the channel), The Chair.
Several YouTube personalities, ones with big millennial followings, might be approached to participate.
Something like this might get the book in front of the younger generations.
