Russian publisher Azbooka has released the cover art for their upcoming translation of The Queen of Bedlam. This will be the second time The Queen of Bedlam has been published in Russia. The book will also include the Matthew Corbett short story “Night Ride,” which was originally published on this website. The translation is by Victoria Yakovleva.

The book will be published in December 2021.

Azbooka released Boy’s Life, Swan Song, The Listener, Speaks the Nightbird, and The Border earlier this year. They currently also hold the translation rights to They Thirst, Stinger, and Mister Slaughter. Azbooka has announced that They Thirst and Stinger will be published in 2022.

Back in April 2021, I posted that Italian publisher Gruppo Editoriale Fanucci would be publishing their translation of Robert McCammon’s Swan Song. The translation is by Francesco Vitellini, who posted on Facebook, “Presto in libreria una delle cose migliori che abbia mai tradotto!” (“Soon at the library one of the best things I’ve ever translated!”)

Fanucci recently posted on Facebook that the book will be published in January 2022, and it features cover art by British Fantasy Award-winning artist Daniele Serra. He posted his original cover art today, which you can see below.
