Frank Dietz and Greg Nicotero at WonderFest in Louisville yesterday. I got to meet with Greg for a couple of minutes, and I asked about the TV adaptation of Robert McCammon’s Swan Song, which he’s co-producing. Not much to report yet, but he said they have hired a writer, and it would probably be released sometime in 2026. It’s very early days, but he said we’d talk more in the future, so hopefully that’ll happen. 
It was brought to my attention that the audiobook of The Five is available for free to Audible Plus subscribers. That sent me looking, and there are a bunch of McCammon titles that are included with Plus membership:
The Five
I Travel by Night (GraphicAudio)
Last Train from Perdition (GraphicAudio)
The Wolf’s Hour (GraphicAudio — Parts 1 & 2, but not 3)
The complete Blue World is not included, but these individual stories are:
Blue World (story)
The Red House
Doom City
White
Children of the Bedtime Machine
Something Passed By
Yellachile’s Cage
Pin
Yellowjacket Summer
Strange Candy
I Scream Man
Chico
And the anthology Dark Screams, which includes “The Deep End.”
