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.
Chinese rights to The Listener have been acquired by Yilin Press. This will be the first McCammon book they’ve published. That’s all of the information I have available at this time.
