Taiwan publisher Nautilus has released their Chinese translation of Robert McCammon’s The Wolf’s Hour. The trade paperback can be purchased from various Taiwan bookselling websites now. The cover art below has been added to the Book Cover Gallery.

From 1989 to 1991, I published six issues of Lights Out! – The Robert R. McCammon Newsletter. Five of those issues have been available to download as PDF files from this site for years, but the last issue was a subscriber-only issue—copies weren’t sold by book dealers at the time, and it’s been difficult to find. Now, 29 years later, we’ve decided to make a PDF of that issue available as our holiday gift to you!
Issue six was published in October 1991 and is most notable because it contains a lengthy excerpt from The Address, a novel about a house in Hollywood that Robert McCammon abandoned in 1990. In a preface to the excerpt, he describes the book, what it would have been, and why he gave up on it. The issue also includes a lengthy interview with Robert McCammon that I conducted. That interview has long been found in the Interviews section of this site, but you might enjoy seeing it in context.
So download the file, kick back, and enjoy reading a Robert McCammon piece that most readers have never seen before!
Happy Holidays, and Happy New Year!

Artists Craig Purdon and Alexander have sent in new artwork. Craig sent in two sketches of Usher’s Lodge from Usher’s Passing, while Alexander submitted an illustration of Lord Cornbury from The Providence Rider. You can see these and much more artwork in the Fan Artwork gallery.
Bulgarian publisher CIELA Books recently released a translation of The Listener, and they asked for a photo of Robert McCammon holding the book. This photo was taken a couple of days ago.
Cemetery Dance has updated their production page to include this information about their limited edition of Usher’s Passing:
The printer is on schedule with a delivery date of very late December for the books. Reminder: this Limited Edition will still need slipcases made, which can take up to 14 weeks. Our slipcase maker is already working on an “approval case” based on estimated sizing generated by the printer. As soon as we have the first finished book, we can use that approval case to confirm the sizing. If the sizing is correct, the slipcase maker can then start rolling right away. We will post the publication date the moment it is finalized, but spring 2021 is looking very likely. Thank you for your patience!
The limited edition was announced in 2018 and has been long sold out, though I’m sure copies will be available on the secondary market once it has been published.
If you haven’t seen them, Cemetery Dance has posted the interior art pieces by Vincent Sammy on their Usher’s Passing page:
Italian publisher Fanucci has acquired the Italian translation rights to Swan Song and Boy’s Life. Both books were previously published in Italy in 1991 and 1992. Presumably, the Fanucci editions will be new translations.
Last year, Fannuci published Il grande libro degli Zombie, a translation of Otto Penzler’s Zombies! Zombies! Zombies! anthology.
More info when it’s available, which probably won’t be until next year, at the earliest.

Happy Halloween!
Here’s a fun little Robert McCammon piece that few people know about. Well, until now. Back in 2008, Robert McCammon’s then-16-year-old daughter, Skye, hosted a podcast with her friend Brent Irwin. Their Halloween 2008 podcast featured a poem called “The Ballad of Cletus Fredrick.” The poem was written by Robert specifically for Skye’s podcast.
Skye and Brent have re-recorded the poem, and it can be found on Spotify at the link below!
“The Ballad of Cletus Fredrick”
Just a reminder that there are some free Robert McCammon short stories here that are particularly appropriate for this time of year! All three can be read here on the website, or you can download AZW3 (Kindle), MOBI, EPUB (Nook), and PDF files.
German publisher Luzifer Verlag has released a Halloween treat for German readers! They’re offering a free ebook download of the Matthew Corbett short story “Death Comes for the Rich Man.” The story was originally included in the Subterranean Press limited edition of The Providence Rider, and it can also be found in the German translation of that book, Matthew Corbett in den Fängen des Kraken.
For English-language readers, the story will be included in the planned short story collection Seven Shades of Evil, but that likely won’t see print until 2022.
Here’s what Luzifer Verlag posted on Facebook:
