Lividian Publications has posted about their upcoming Robert McCammon announcements, and rather than rewrite it, I’ll just replicate their post here. News about Seven Shades of Evil, a new limited edition, and more trade paperback releases!
Hi Folks!
As I’ve mentioned, we have a very busy year planned here at Lividian Publications, and I thought it might be helpful if I posted a schedule for the next three announcements and who would receive first shot at ordering these books:
* We’re preparing our announcement for our special edition of Gone South by Robert McCammon, which will be shipping by June. Because this is not part of the Matthew Corbett series, the Limited Edition and Lettered Edition will be offered on April 12 to those who purchased The Store by Bentley Little directly through our site since that is the most recent Limited and Lettered we’ve shipped. On April 14, my Patreon supporters will be offered their advance ordering window. Any copies that remain will be offered to the Lividian mailing list and through our favorite retailers on April 17. Here’s a preview of the Limited Edition’s dust jacket artwork by François Vaillancourt:
* Three new Robert McCammon trade paperbacks will be announced publicly for preorder on April 24 through the Lividian website and some of our favorite retailers, along with Amazon and the other big chains. The Border will be published on July 25, The King of Shadows will be published on September 19, and The Listener will be published on December 12. There will be a “first printing” bundle of all three books, which will ship in July. Join our mailing list for the official announcement.
* In early May, we will be announcing our trade hardcover, Limited Edition, and Lettered Edition of Seven Shades of Evil by Robert McCammon, the next volume in his acclaimed Matthew Corbett series. The Limited Edition and Lettered Edition will be offered on May 1 to those who purchased the same edition of The King of Shadows directly from our site. On May 3, my Patreon supporters will be offered their advance ordering window. Any copies of the Limited Edition and Lettered Edition that remain, along with the trade hardcover, will be offered to the Lividian mailing list and via our favorite retailers on May 8.
More news soon! Thank you again for all of your support and enthusiasm!
Best,
Brian
This summer, Lividian Publications will produce a limited edition of Robert McCammon’s Gone South. This is the first time Gone South has received this treatment. The book contains fantastic artwork from Francois Vaillancourt, Robert McCammon’s introduction he wrote for the 2008 trade paperback, and a new foreword from author Michael Koryta. Patreon supporters of Brian J. Freeman have received copies of the Advance Review Copy. The official announcement with ordering information will happen in May. Thanks to Tony Thomas for the photo of the ARC.

Bulgarian publisher Iztok-Zapad released translations of Gone South and The Wolf’s Hour in 2020 and 2021 (and I just now realized it). Gone South was published in both hardcover and trade paperback formats. The Wolf’s Hour was only published as a trade paperback.
Larger versions of the covers for both books can be seen in the Book Cover Gallery.
