Cemetery Dance’s Brian Freeman posted this in the Robert McCammon Group on Facebook a few days ago:

The trade hardcover of CARDINAL BLACK has arrived in the Cemetery Dance Publications warehouse! We cannot ship customer orders for the book until the last week of the month, but we are starting to pack orders now so they all go out the same day. (There are lots of orders!)

If you ordered direct from CD, please know the shipping notice email you might receive in the next few days isn’t “real” although any tracking number will “become active” once the package is scanned later this month.

Sorry for any confusion, we just wanted to get ahead on packing so all of these trade hardcovers could ship on the same day!

More updates on all editions to come soon via email, I am pecking this out on my phone! 🙂

SST Publications is giving away a copy of their signed, limited edition of Cardinal Black over on Twitter. You must Like and Retweet their post to enter. Click here or on the image below to see their original tweet.

Copies can be purchased from SST Publications. They also still have copies of their lettered edition, featuring a beautiful wraparound dustjacket by Ben Baldwin! Their edition of The Listener, also still available from them, is a gorgeous book that drew rave reviews from readers who purchased it. I expect the same will be true of their editions of Cardinal Black.

Inspired by fellow collector Yegor Malinovskii, Paul Evans recently commissioned artist Vincent Chong to remarque every story in his limited edition of the Subterranean Press Blue World. As usual, Vincent’s work is pretty amazing!

The Athens-Limestone County Public Library broadcast a Facebook Live video for the writer panel, “Apocalypse and You,” featuring speakers Robert McCammon and AJ Coleman. The video below differs from the video on Facebook in that the audio levels have been boosted.

Reviews of Cardinal Black are starting to appear. The Publishers Weekly review can be read online (mild plot spoilers).

Review in Publishers Weekly

As usual, McCammon dazzles the reader with gritty historical detail, vivid local color, and a cast of memorable grotesques….

And from Booklist:

Despite the violence and seriousness of the mission, McCammon is able to interject moments of kindness and even humor throughout.

German publisher Luzifer Verlag has acquired the German translation rights to Boy’s Life. Luzifer has already published a German edition of The Border, as well as the first two books in the Matthew Corbett series. They are publishing a German edition of Mister Slaughter in November 2019. Presumably, their edition of Boy’s Life will see print sometime in 2020. More info as I know it….
