Please always feel free to drop me a line if you have any questions or concerns about your orders or any projects we’re working on: brian@lividian.com
* Speaks the Nightbird (Limited Edition) by Robert McCammon shipped in September.
* Phantoms by Dean Koontz has been completed at the printer and slipcases are now in production.
* Dead Silence by S.A. Barnes has been completed at the printer and slipcases are now in production.
* Why I Love Horror: Essays on Horror Literature edited by Becky Siegel Spratfordas been completed at the printer and slipcases are now in production.
* NOS4A2 by Joe Hill is on track to ship in late fall or early winter as planned. The books will be completed by the end of October or early November, and then the cases will be completed approximately 8 to 10 weeks after we have a finished book for sizing. NOTE: Just before we started the book at the printer, we decided to add one more bonus feature even though the edition is sold out: the “Geek’s Guide to the Galaxy” interview with Joe Hill, which was conducted way back in 2013 when the book was a new release. Some of the exciting topics discussed include NOS4A2, Christmasland, Charlie Manx and the Wraith, the secret mythology connecting Joe Hill’s novels, Locke & Key, hidden Stephen King nods, the craft of suspense, and other projects like Horns and The Fireman.
Robert McCammon Library News:
* We’ll publish the first two titles in the Robert McCammon Library, which are Baal (preorders now open, shipping in late November) and Bethany’s Sin (not for preorder yet, shipping in late December). We’re still working out some finishing details that we want to get just right since they’ll carry through the entire set, but we’re aiming to ship Baal at the end of November and Bethany’s Sin to finish off the year. After that, we’ll publish four books every year 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.
