I had planned on printing the labels for LEVIATHAN today, but our shipper isn’t quite ready, so instead we’re going to handle a different bit of logistics. (This edition will still begin shipping next week, though.)

There are copies of the LEVIATHAN Limited Edition now available on a first come, first served basis, and it’s always tough to know what to do with the “extras” in this situation because they’re real numbers of a beautiful edition but also… it’s the 10th book in a series. Hard place to start a collection, you know?

I personally don’t like putting this sort of edition in a Grab Bag because it doesn’t seem fair to someone who hasn’t read the series or doesn’t own the other Limited Editions, even if it’s just a general “get a random Limited Edition so you can see what the fuss is all about” Grab Bag. A book deep in a series doesn’t feel like a good deal for the collector/reader, and I always want those Grab Bags to be a win for the people who take a chance on them.

Instead, I’m just going to say: this is a big beautiful Limited Edition of a really fantastic novel, and if you missed out early or want one for any reason, here’s the link while supplies last:

Please feel free to share that with any Robert McCammon friends in your life! Maybe they’d just like a special SIGNED version of this extremely important book in McCammon’s acclaimed career.

More news soon!

Best,
Brian

French publisher Monsieur Toussaint Louverture has acquired the French rights to publish a translation of The Wolf’s Hour. The deal was just signed, so there are no publication details yet.

Monsieur Toussaint Louverture previously published French editions of Boy’s Life in 2022 (and 2024) and Swan Song in 2023.

French editions of The Wolf’s Hour were previously published by France Loisirs (1989), Presses de la Cité (1990), Presses Pocket (1992), and Milady (2008). Presumably, this will be a new translation, but time will tell.

From the SST website:

“McCammon delivers terror with skillful ferocity.”—Publishers Weekly

The basis for the Peacock TV series Teacup: An extraterrestrial bounty hunter turns a Southern community into its private hunting ground in “the ultimate horror novel” (The Philadelphia Inquirer).

The West Texas desert towns of Inferno and Bordertown have been slowly dying. The Snake River isn’t the only thing that divides them. Racism and gang wars have turned the sun-scorched flatlands into a powder keg. If anything can unite them now, it’s the UFO that comes crashing through the clouds.

It brings with it a young alien named Daufin, a fugitive who has taken human form. She knows the terror that awaits this planet—because it’s looking for her. Stinger is an alien bounty hunter with an infinite capacity for death and a devious plan to find Daufin. Entombing the region in an inescapable dome, Stinger unleashes a violent fury unknown to humankind. Now, the few remaining survivors must come together to protect Daufin, themselves, and the world beyond.

From Robert McCammon, the New York Times–bestselling and Bram Stoker Award–winning author, Stinger is “one of the best suspense novels of recent years” (Science Fiction Chronicle). It has now been adapted into one of the most hotly anticipated horror series on television: Teacup, premiered on Peacock in October 2024.

At the Leviathan book launch, Robert McCammon told me that, now that the series was complete, he would love to see other people write Matthew Corbett fan fiction.

Author Pete Mesling submitted “Troubling the Past” in February.

Now, author Amanda Desiree has contributed “To Slay a Dragon.” From Amanda:

The idea for this piece came to me several years ago, after I had watched the movie Dragonwyck. Vincent Price’s character, Nicholas Van Ryn, has a line stating that his family has owned the Dragonwyck estate since 1630. That means it would have existed in Matthew’s time, and, since Dragonwyck is in the Hudson River Valley not terribly far from Matthew’s Manhattan, it’s entirely possible that a Van Ryn ancestor (who would have looked and sounded just like Vincent Price, naturally) might have hired him to solve a problem. I kept turning over the possibility, coming up with an old-dark-house-style mystery story,complete with unexpected guests getting stranded on a stormy night. Now that fan fiction is allowed, I’ve finally given the plot a shot.

You have several options available to read the story:

Because the story is fairly lengthy (58 pages in the PDF), it is not presented as a web page.

We’d love to see more! From Robert McCammon: “The fun and interesting thing here is that you can do straight mystery stories, character studies, or delve into the supernatural as much as you please.” Submissions can be sent to the webmaster.

Ukrainian publisher Zhorzh has just published a translation of Boy’s Life, and it was one of their bestsellers at Book Arsenal in Kiev, a large book event.

They also recently published a new interview with Robert McCammon:
