Subterranean Press sent out a special “Robert McCammon Updates” email today.  Some of the information we’ve already posted (the cover art for The Hunter from the Woods, the free ebook of “The Room at the Bottom of the Stairs”, the ebook release of The Five, and reader reviews of The Five), but the beginning of their email includes some news we haven’t posted:

Welcome to our extra, Robert McCammon-centric newsletter this week. As you can tell, a lot is happening, with the release of the 36,000 word novella, The Room at the Bottom of the Stairs, as a free ebook, and the art for The Hunter in the Woods progressing.

A few things not mentioned below, to whet your literary appetites:

— Rick McCammon just turned in the latest Matthew Corbett historical adventure, The Providence Rider, an even longer and more engrossing tale than its predecessor, Mister Slaughter, which had chills and thrills aplenty.

— After he takes a brief respite to recharge his creative batteries, Rick plans to write a long (at least 30,000 words) novella exclusively for book publication by SubPress. As this is one of our favorite lengths, we can’t tell you how much we’re looking forward to reading Lawson.

— Finally, while we’re finishing the work on the limited edition of Baal, we’ve already started preliminary work on the next McCammon limited, Bethany’s Sin. Look for more information soon.

As always, happy reading, and thanks for your continuing support.

And finally, there’s this regarding the limited editions of The Five:

Finally, we realize that the limited edition of The Five is more than a bit overdue, for which we apologize. There was a hang up on the slipcases, now solved. We expect the cases to ship to our offices on 8/19. We’ll ship the limited edition as soon as they arrive.

 

Subterranean Press has revealed the cover art for Robert McCammon’s upcoming The Hunter from the Woods, a collection of stories and novellas featuring Michael Gallatin, the lycanthropic hero of The Wolf’s Hour.  The art is by Vincent Chong, who also did the cover art for the recent Subterranean limited edition of The Wolf’s Hour.  The book is scheduled for publication in November 2011. Click on the image to see a larger version.

Subterranean Press has also made the complete novella “The Room at the Bottom of the Stairs” available as a free ebook download in EPUB (NOOK) and MOBI (Kindle) formats.  This novella originally appeared in the limited edition of The Wolf’s Hour, and it is also included in The Hunter from the Woods.  You can download the novella from the Subterranean Press order page.

    THE PROVIDENCE RIDER (Corbett 4) is done and off to my agent. It was an epic all-nighter, fueled by Kona coffee and cigar breaks on my balcony. The sun came up and the birds sang. The doc file was sent through the electric god. I rest ’til Monday, seeing HP tonight.

  • The Five is now available in ebook format for the Kindle and the NOOK! Other formats will be coming soon.
  • A new Chinese edition of Boy’s Life has been published by Yilin Press in China.  The cover can be seen below; it has been added to the Book Cover Gallery.

T-shirts for THE FIVE
Sample T-shirts for THE FIVE

Thanks to Vincent Chong for the use of his logo for Robert McCammon’s The Five, we’ve created some logo T-shirts to help promote the book.  All of the shirts have The Five band logo on the front in either black or red, depending on the color of the shirt.

The purpose of the shirts is simply to help promote the release of The Five. In order to keep the costs down, no profit is made from these shirts; the prices shown are the actual costs of the shirts from Spreadshirt.com. A variety of shirt types, colors, and sizes are available.

Note that the printing and shipping of the shirts is handled entirely by Spreadshirt. In my experience, it takes about 7 to 10 days for U.S. orders to be delivered.
