Robert McCammon asked me to post this video of author Pete Mesling performing his original composition “Remembering Fount Royal.” Pete wrote:

This is a piece I wrote recently. It’s inspired by the setting of Robert McCammon’s first Matthew Corbett novel, SPEAKS THE NIGHTBIRD. I call it “Remembering Fount Royal.” It’s by no means a definitive recording, but I hope you dig it.


Robert McCammon’s classic post-apocalyptic novel Swan Song is currently available in print only as a mass-market paperback. That will change on April 4, 2023, when Simon & Schuster will re-release Swan Song in a trade paperback format via their Saga Press imprint. Though it’s still far away, pre-order links for the book have already shown up on Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

As we previously announced, Lividian Publications will release the trade hardcover edition of The King of Shadows in December 2022, after trade paperback releases of the five Matthew Corbett books between Mister Slaughter and Cardinal Black from July through November.

However, the limited edition of the book—which has long been sold out—will begin shipping from Lividian around the end of June 2022.

The trade hardcover edition can be pre-ordered from Lividian Publications. Amazon, B&N, and other pre-order links will be available in the coming months.

I can also now announce that Open Road Media and Audible will release the ebook and audiobook editions of The King of Shadows on Tuesday, June 28, 2022! The audiobook will once again be narrated by Edoardo Ballerini.
