Speaks the Nightbird by Robert McCammon
Leviathan by Robert McCammon
New Trade Paperback Editions Published Today!

Lividian Publications is proud to be publishing the new trade paperback edition of Speaks the Nightbird by Robert McCammon, the first volume in his acclaimed Matthew Corbett series, and a new trade paperback edition of Leviathan, the final volume in the series!

Weighing in at 864 pages, Speaks the Nightbird features a new introduction by Robert McCammon, welcoming readers to the series, along with original cover artwork by Vincent Chong.

Due to increasing shipping costs, we won’t be selling this one directly to readers, but Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Million, Bookshop.org and many other stores are already accepting preorders.

For Leviathan, this 500-page epic wraps up our hero’s journey and sticks the landing better than most series ever manage. This edition can be ordered from Amazon,  Barnes & Noble,  Books-A-Million, Bookshop.org, and many other stores.

In related news, we’re revisiting the other trade paperbacks we’ve published in Matthew Corbett series, and in 2026 we will be republishing those editions with some slight cover tweaks to better indicate they are part of this epic series. Same artwork, just minor design changes.

We will also be making the interior text more readable for those of us who love print editions but aren’t getting any younger. These are the same great stories inside, but the redesign means the page counts will be increasing, and we wanted to make it clear now that you’re not missing anything if you read/own a previous edition. There is no new content.

More news on these editions will be shared closer to republication. In the meantime, the previous editions are out there, along with the eBooks and audiobooks. Now is the perfect time to start reading the Matthew Corbett series if you were waiting to make sure it was concluded in proper fashion. We’re pleased to report it most definitely was.

News from Brian Freeman at Lividian Publications!



We’re pleased to announce we’re publishing the new trade paperback edition of Speaks the Nightbird by Robert McCammon and the official on-sale date is next week: November 18, 2025!

Weighing in at 864 pages, this edition features a new introduction by Robert McCammon, welcoming readers to the series, along with original cover artwork by Vincent Chong. It also unveils the larger size, redesigned cover and spine, and the improved interior design we’re using for the reprints of the series to make these editions much more readable. (If you’re wondering how big of a book this is, I’ve stolen a photo from Hunter Goatley and posted it above.)

We won’t be selling this edition directly through our store because postage is cost prohibitive, but it’s available for preorder immediately from everywhere you buy trade paperbacks including:

Amazon
Barnes & Noble
Books-A-Million
Bookshop.org

The updated sales copy follows:

BACK IN PRINT! THE FIRST MATTHEW CORBETT ADVENTURE!

The Carolinas, 1699: The citizens of Fount Royal believe a witch has cursed their town with inexplicable tragedies—and they demand that beautiful widow Rachel Howarth be tried and executed for witchcraft. Presiding over the trial is traveling magistrate Isaac Woodward, aided by his astute young clerk, Matthew Corbett. Believing in Rachel’s innocence, Matthew will soon confront the true evil at work in Fount Royal….

After hearing damning testimony, magistrate Woodward sentences the accused witch to death by burning. Desperate to exonerate the woman he has come to love, Matthew begins his own investigation among the townspeople. Piecing together the truth, he has no choice but to vanquish a force more malevolent than witchcraft in order to save his beloved Rachel—and free Fount Royal from the menace claiming innocent lives.

Speaks the Nightbird is the first installment in bestselling author Robert McCammon’s acclaimed series of historical thrillers featuring Matthew Corbett, a brave and resourceful “problem-solver.” The series recently concluded after ten thrilling volumes, and this new edition of Speaks the Nightbird invites both new readers and long-time fans to discover the journey.

We’re also very thrilled to share two other exciting developments:

There will also be a new signed Limited Edition and Lettered Edition of Speaks the Nightbird published in 2026, designed to better match the look and feel of the special editions published over the years by Subterranean Press, Cemetery Dance, and Lividian Publications. Please sign up for our free newsletter or follow Brian’s Patreon for free to be notified when these are available.

LEVIATHAN Robert McCammon Limited Edition Opportunity

I had planned on printing the labels for LEVIATHAN today, but our shipper isn’t quite ready, so instead we’re going to handle a different bit of logistics. (This edition will still begin shipping next week, though.)

There are copies of the LEVIATHAN Limited Edition now available on a first come, first served basis, and it’s always tough to know what to do with the “extras” in this situation because they’re real numbers of a beautiful edition but also… it’s the 10th book in a series. Hard place to start a collection, you know?

I personally don’t like putting this sort of edition in a Grab Bag because it doesn’t seem fair to someone who hasn’t read the series or doesn’t own the other Limited Editions, even if it’s just a general “get a random Limited Edition so you can see what the fuss is all about” Grab Bag. A book deep in a series doesn’t feel like a good deal for the collector/reader, and I always want those Grab Bags to be a win for the people who take a chance on them.

Instead, I’m just going to say: this is a big beautiful Limited Edition of a really fantastic novel, and if you missed out early or want one for any reason, here’s the link while supplies last:

https://lividian.com/store/leviathan-limited-edition/

Please feel free to share that with any Robert McCammon friends in your life! Maybe they’d just like a special SIGNED version of this extremely important book in McCammon’s acclaimed career.

More news soon!

Best,

French publisher Monsieur Toussaint Louverture has acquired the French rights to publish a translation of The Wolf’s Hour. The deal was just signed, so there are no publication details yet.

Monsieur Toussaint Louverture previously published French editions of Boy’s Life in 2022 (and 2024) and Swan Song in 2023.

French editions of The Wolf’s Hour were previously published by France Loisirs (1989), Presses de la Cité (1990), Presses Pocket (1992), and Milady (2008). Presumably, this will be a new translation, but time will tell.
