Lividian Publications Production Updates

Updated February 24, 2026

As noted over on Patreon, our new slipcase maker also has a system in place for shipping customer orders for their clients, which we’re giving a try. This was an extremely well-timed development because we’re still working on the upgrades and renovations for our new office… plus, if someone else is able to meet the level of care and packing quality you expect from us, that frees up a lot of time for me to focus on other aspects of the business, such as getting even more books into production each year. In the meantime, please always feel free to drop me a line if you have any questions or concerns: brian@lividian.com

* We have six unannounced Limited Editions moving forward at our various printers, but will ease back to sending one per month now that we’re catching up from our “production pause” during the move this past summer.

* Our most recently announced Limited Edition, Ghost Inn by Bev Vincent, will ship in late April.

* Wraith by Joe Hill shipped in January:

* Speaking of which, NOS4A2 (unannounced and not sold for preorder yet) will be next up in the Joe Hill set, and I have some really good news on that front. Everything is ready for the printer, and we’re about to get that rolling now. I’ll share some of the incredible artwork in a “behind the scenes” post soon over on Patreon.

PATREON SPECIFIC REWARDS
As many of you know, Lividian started life as the publisher of the exclusive rewards for Brian James Freeman’s Patreon, which is now in year seven and still going strong. Here’s an update on the current rewards in progress:

1. Lividian Story Box: Volume One
Our big change for 2026 is the launch of the Lividian Story Box. Seven signed Limited Editions chapbooks, heavily illustrated in full-color, printed on a nice grade paper, perfect bound like a tiny trade paperback, and all housed together in a custom-made box with two colors of foil stamping and a pullout ribbon. Read the full update in this free Patreon post.

3. Exclusive BJF Limited Hardcovers (3 in the works for 2026!)
Spring: a new Limited Edition of a revised and updated version of The Painted Darkness featuring EIGHTEEN brand new illustrations is done at the printer and now we’re just waiting on the slipcases.

Summer 2026: a brand new children’s book, to be published for supporters before anyone else in the world

Fall 2026: a couple of really interesting options including a new novella or a new mini-collection or maybe a new book of non-fiction
