Also now available, Steve Berman’s new anthology Bad Seeds: Evil Progeny contains a reprint of Robert McCammon’s short story “Yellowjacket Summer.” The story previously appeared in the October 1986 issue of Twilight Zone and in the Robert McCammon short story collection Blue World. The trade paperback can be ordered from Amazon here.
The Bram Stoker Awards Weekend 2013 Souvenir Book included an excerpt from The Five, as well as an essay by Joe Lansdale entitled, “Rick McCammon, a True Southern Gentleman.” The cover for the book has been added to the Book Cover Gallery and can be seen here.
The Spring 2013 issue of Dark Discoveries magazine includes a new short story by Stoker Award-winner Joe McKinney entitled “The Woman Who Collected McCammon.” The story was inspired by Robert Bloch’s classic story, “The Man Who Collected Poe.” You can purchase the issue (or subscribe) on their website.
Finally, the goodie bag for the World Horror Convention 2013 included a postcard from Open Road Media, the ebook publisher of many of McCammon’s backlist titles, congratulating him on his Lifetime Achievement Award from the Horror Writers Association. The front and back of the card are shown below.
In other McCammon news, the fall release of his classic Nazi zombie novel, The Night Boat, is right on schedule.
