Lividian Publications Production Updates
Updated May 26, 2026
Please always feel free to drop me a line if you have any questions or concerns: brian@lividian.com
We now have four unannounced Limited Editions moving forward at our various printers, including our next Dean Koontz project, but will ease back to sending one book to the printer per month now that we’re catching up from our “production pause” during the move this past summer.
* Our next Limited Edition to announce will be ready to ship in June. Watch for that announcement at 10 AM eastern time on Friday, May 29.
* The Resort by Bentley Little was scheduled to ship in late May but actually shipped a few weeks ago.
* The Spite House by Johnny Compton is shipping now.
* The Town by Bentley Little will begin shipping in very early June.
* Speaks the Nightbird (Limited Edition) by Robert McCammon is rolling at the printer and we’re aiming for a September shipping date, but we’ll confirm that once the books are done and slipcases are started.
* NOS4A2 by Joe Hill is on track to ship this fall as planned, and just before we started it 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 is from 2013, and some of the exciting topics discussed included 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 upcoming projects like Horns and The Fireman.
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!)
Summer: 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.
Fall 2026: a brand new children’s book, to be published for supporters before anyone else in the world
December 2026: a couple of really interesting options including a new novella or a new mini-collection or maybe a new book of non-fiction
