Subterranean Press has posted this update for The Five:

Robert McCammon’s new thriller, The Five, the one called “his best novel ever” by Stephen King, and “infused with power and passion, and laced with psychological horror and razor-sharp tension” in a Starred Review in Publishers Weekly, is headed into its second printing, less than a week after it started shipping.

(Important Note: For those have ordered signed or inscribed copies, Mr. McCammon will be here in early June to sign your books, which will ship immediately thereafter. Even though we just ordered a second printing, we have held back a number of firsts so individual customers may still order the more collectible printing of this major novel.)

The Five
may be in short supply out in the world for a few weeks. We’re sitting on purchase orders for thousands of copies, which will be filled as soon as the second printing arrives in our warehouse.

Robert McCammon’s new contemporary novel, The Five, will soon be available (some Amazon pre-orders have already been shipped).  If you’d like to help promote The Five, here are image files for bookmarks and a “shelf-talker” (when printed and folded in half, the “shelf-talker” can be inserted under books on a shelf in a bookstore, with the bottom half of the image displayed).  The files are 300 DPI images, suitable for high-quality printing.  If you can print these and take them to bookstores, conventions, etc., for distribution, that would help spread the word of the book’s release.

Thanks to Vincent Chong for the use of his artwork and to Dave Ballard, who put these together!
