Greek publisher Klidarithmos has acquired the rights to produce a Greek translation of Robert McCammon’s Swan Song. The deal just happened, and no other information is available at this time. As soon as I know more, I’ll post it!
Klidarithmos published a Greek translation of Boy’s Life in February 2024.

At the Leviathan book launch, Robert McCammon told me that, now that the series was complete, he would love to see other people write Matthew Corbett fan fiction.
Author Pete Mesling submitted “Troubling the Past” in February.
Now, author Amanda Desiree has contributed “To Slay a Dragon.” From Amanda:
The idea for this piece came to me several years ago, after I had watched the movie Dragonwyck. Vincent Price’s character, Nicholas Van Ryn, has a line stating that his family has owned the Dragonwyck estate since 1630. That means it would have existed in Matthew’s time, and, since Dragonwyck is in the Hudson River Valley not terribly far from Matthew’s Manhattan, it’s entirely possible that a Van Ryn ancestor (who would have looked and sounded just like Vincent Price, naturally) might have hired him to solve a problem. I kept turning over the possibility, coming up with an old-dark-house-style mystery story,complete with unexpected guests getting stranded on a stormy night. Now that fan fiction is allowed, I’ve finally given the plot a shot.
You have several options available to read the story:
Because the story is fairly lengthy (58 pages in the PDF), it is not presented as a web page.
We’d love to see more! From Robert McCammon: “The fun and interesting thing here is that you can do straight mystery stories, character studies, or delve into the supernatural as much as you please.” Submissions can be sent to the webmaster.
GraphicAudio productions feature a narrator, a voice cast, music, and sound effects to bring stories to life (“A Movie in Your Mind,” as their slogan says). This deal was just announced, so there are no details available yet.
GraphicAudio previously produced adaptations of The Wolf’s Hour, The Hunter from the Woods, and the Trevor Lawson novellas.
