Lividian Publications Production Updates
Updated April 17, 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.
* Ghost Inn by Bev Vincent shipped ahead of schedule in early April.
* Memorials by Richard Chizmar is ahead of schedule and will now ship at the end of April.
* The Resort by Bentley Little will ship in late May.
* NOS4A2 by Joe Hill is on track to ship this fall as planned.
Robert McCammon Library News:
* We’ll publish the first two titles in the Robert McCammon Library — Baal (preorders now open) and Bethany’s Sin (not for preorder yet) — and then we’ll publish four more books every year after that in the order of original publication. The Night Boat, They Thirst, Mystery Walk, and Usher’s Passing are already in production for 2027. Also: our plan includes the entire Matthew Corbett series, finally published in a fully matching set. Keeping to the planned schedule is very important to us.
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:
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.
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
