French publisher Monsieur Toussaint Louverture has acquired the French rights to publish a translation of The Wolf’s Hour. The deal was just signed, so there are no publication details yet.

Monsieur Toussaint Louverture previously published French editions of Boy’s Life in 2022 (and 2024) and Swan Song in 2023.

French editions of The Wolf’s Hour were previously published by France Loisirs (1989), Presses de la Cité (1990), Presses Pocket (1992), and Milady (2008). Presumably, this will be a new translation, but time will tell.

From the SST website:

“McCammon delivers terror with skillful ferocity.”—Publishers Weekly

The basis for the Peacock TV series Teacup: An extraterrestrial bounty hunter turns a Southern community into its private hunting ground in “the ultimate horror novel” (The Philadelphia Inquirer).

The West Texas desert towns of Inferno and Bordertown have been slowly dying. The Snake River isn’t the only thing that divides them. Racism and gang wars have turned the sun-scorched flatlands into a powder keg. If anything can unite them now, it’s the UFO that comes crashing through the clouds.

It brings with it a young alien named Daufin, a fugitive who has taken human form. She knows the terror that awaits this planet—because it’s looking for her. Stinger is an alien bounty hunter with an infinite capacity for death and a devious plan to find Daufin. Entombing the region in an inescapable dome, Stinger unleashes a violent fury unknown to humankind. Now, the few remaining survivors must come together to protect Daufin, themselves, and the world beyond.

From Robert McCammon, the New York Times–bestselling and Bram Stoker Award–winning author, Stinger is “one of the best suspense novels of recent years” (Science Fiction Chronicle). It has now been adapted into one of the most hotly anticipated horror series on television: Teacup, premiered on Peacock in October 2024.

Polish publisher Vesper has revealed the cover for Godzina Wilka, their upcoming translation of The Wolf’s Hour, to be published in April 2025! The art is by Maciej Kamuda, and the translation is by Janusz Skowron.

The book has not been added to the Vesper website yet, but details can be found here. Or it’s been removed from the Vesper site because they’ve changed the release date. I’m not sure which. I’ve not seen a formal announcement from Vesper.
