Lividian Publications Production Updates
Updated September 1, 2026
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 is done at the printer and we’re aiming for a September shipping date now that the slipcases are almost completed.
* Phantoms by Dean Koontz has reached the proofs stage at our printer and is on track for a fall publication date.* Dead Silence by S.A. Barnes has started at the printer and is on track to ship later this year.
* Why I Love Horror: Essays on Horror Literature edited by Becky Siegel Spratford is rolling at the printer and we’re aiming to sneak this one out the door to end the year if possible.
* NOS4A2 by Joe Hill is on track to ship this fall as planned. 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.
