Russian publisher Azbooka has released the cover art for their upcoming translation of The Queen of Bedlam. This will be the second time The Queen of Bedlam has been published in Russia. The book will also include the Matthew Corbett short story “Night Ride,” which was originally published on this website. The translation is by Victoria Yakovleva.

The book will be published in December 2021.

Azbooka released Boy’s Life, Swan Song, The Listener, Speaks the Nightbird, and The Border earlier this year. They currently also hold the translation rights to They Thirst, Stinger, and Mister Slaughter. Azbooka has announced that They Thirst and Stinger will be published in 2022.

The Queen of Bedlam at Azbooka

Back in April 2021, I posted that Italian publisher Gruppo Editoriale Fanucci would be publishing their translation of Robert McCammon’s Swan Song. The translation is by Francesco Vitellini, who posted on Facebook, “Presto in libreria una delle cose migliori che abbia mai tradotto!” (“Soon at the library one of the best things I’ve ever translated!”)

Fanucci recently posted on Facebook that the book will be published in January 2022, and it features cover art by British Fantasy Award-winning artist Daniele Serra. He posted his original cover art today, which you can see below.

Speaks the Nightbird at Azbooka

Russian publisher Azbooka has released their translations of Swan Song and The Listener. They had previously released a translation of Boy’s Life in February. Swan Song was translated by Oleg Kolesnikov, while Andrey Tretyakov translated The Listener.  The beautiful covers for both can be seen below. Swan Song has previously been published in Russia three times. This is the first Russian edition of The Listener.

Per a 2018 contract, Azbooka still holds the Russian translation rights for The Border and Speaks the Nightbird.  Those will presumably be released later this year.

They have now also acquired the rights for They Thirst, Stinger, The Queen of Bedlam, and Mister Slaughter in a new, four-book deal.
