French publisher Monsieur Toussaint Louverture will publish their new two-volume translation of The Wolf’s Hour on May 22, 2026. They initially just teased the covers, but those have been revealed now and can be seen below. Monsieur Toussaint Louverture has previously published Boy’s Life and Swan Song.
Here’s their new Facebook post:
Après plusieurs tentatives, plusieurs directions, nous avons fini par trouver une forme de livre en mesure de correctement accueillir, aujourd’hui, les romans de Robert McCammon, qu’ils soient inédits ou non, qu’ils soient amples ou resserrés, qu’ils parlent de psychopathes ou de loups. Ces livres étaient pourtant sous notre nez (bouché, donc) depuis quelques années !
La Bibliothèque McCammon s’inscrit dans la continuité du geste esthétique engagé avec Michael McDowell et Pedro Oyarbide.
Une fabrication française, un format accessible, pour faire découvrir, simplement, l’un des plus grands conteurs contemporains.
L’Heure du loup, volumes 1 & 2, paraissent ensemble et l’histoire forme un tout. Le volume 2 inclut une nouvelle inédite consacrée à Michael Gallatin.
Précommandes la semaine prochaine. Sortie le 22 mai.
In English:
After several attempts and exploring various directions, we have finally found a book format capable of properly housing Robert McCammon’s novels today—whether previously unpublished or not, whether sprawling or compact, and whether they feature psychopaths or wolves. Yet, these books were right under our noses (stuffed-up noses, evidently!) for the past few years!
The McCammon Library continues the aesthetic vision first established with Michael McDowell and Pedro Oyarbide.
Produced in France and featuring an accessible format, this series offers a straightforward way to introduce readers to one of the greatest contemporary storytellers.
*The Hour of the Wolf*, Volumes 1 & 2, are being released simultaneously, forming a complete, cohesive story. Volume 2 includes a brand-new, previously unpublished short story centered on Michael Gallatin.
Pre-orders open next week. Release date: May 22.

In the market for some original art used for Robert McCammon novels? Artist Steve Crisp illustrated gobs of book covers in the UK in the ’80s and ’90s, and many of his pieces are being exhibited on IX Gallery. His original art pieces used for the UK paperback editions of BAAL, BETHANY’S SIN, and MYSTERY WALK are included in the exhibit and are available for purchase.
As of 2026-04-10, the art for Mystery Walk and Baal have been sold.
Even if you’re not looking to purchase, the exhibition is a lot of fun to see!
Robert McCammon (and I) have nothing to do with this sale, I just thought you’d be interested in seeing it, at least.
Arabic publisher Aser Al-Kotob has just acquired the Arabic translation rights for Robert McCammon’s Stinger. The deal just happened, so there is no additional information at this time. This will be the first Robert McCammon novel translated into Arabic.
Update 2026-02-10: Aser Al-Kotob has created a “Coming soon” page for their edition of Stinger:

Spanish publisher RBA has acquired the Spanish rights to Robert McCammon’s Swan Song. The acquisition was just announced, so there are no details available yet.
A Spanish translation of Swan Song was published in Spain and in Mexico in 1991. That edition has been out-of-print since soon after.
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.
