Audible will be producing unabridged audiobooks of Robert McCammon’s two Michael Gallatin books, The Wolf’s Hour and The Hunter from the Woods. No other information is available at this time, but I’ll keep you posted!
You may recall that the books are also available as GraphicAudio productions, so you’ll have your choice whether to listen to a straight reading of the books or a fully-produced audio dramatization.
Audible has released new, unabridged audiobook recordings of Robert McCammon’s first four books: Baal, Bethany’s Sin, The Night Boat, and They Thirst! All four books are narrated by Ray Porter, who has appeared in numerous TV series and movies and narrated Jonathan Maberry’s Joe Ledger books, among others.

GraphicAudio has just released their audio dramatization of The Hunter from the Woods, the followup to 1989’s The Wolf’s Hour. In addition, all three parts of their audio dramatization of The Wolf’s Hour are also now available. Samples from each production can be found on their website. GraphicAudio uses a combination of narrator, actors, and sound effects to bring the audiobooks to life.
Character actor William Windom died recently. He was a veteran of dozens of TV shows and movies, as shown on his IMDb page and in this Washington Post article:
Mr. Windom read several of Robert McCammon’s short stories in the 1989 audio Nightcrawlers: Stories from Blue World, released on audiocassette by Simon & Schuster and, unfortunately, long out-of-print. The stories included in that collection and read by Mr. Windom were “Night Calls the Green Falcon,” “Nightcrawlers,” and “Yellowjacket Summer.” He did a fantastic job with the readings; it’s well worth picking up if you find a copy.
As we reported yesterday, GraphicAudio is releasing audio dramatizations of The Wolf’s Hour and The Hunter from the Woods. Today, they’ve released a new audio interview with Robert McCammon conducted by The Wolf’s Hour director Nanette Savard.
