Robert McCammon attended the 2012 Bram Stoker Awards Banquet, held in conjunction with the 2012 World Horror Convention in Salt Lake City, UT, from March 29 through April 1, 2012. There was a group talk and signing held at Columbus Library on March 29, a mass signing on March 30, a “Robert McCammon Q&A” on March 31, and the Stoker Awards the evening of March 31.

I’ve been told that the Robert McCammon Q&A Session was video recorded and will be posted soon on the HWA YouTube channel. I’ll post it as soon as it’s available. You can watch the entire Bram Stoker Awards Ceremony on Ustream.

Here are links to various reports and videos from the event, followed by various photos.  Special thanks to Darlene Dineen of Columbus Library for arranging the signing and sending me her photos.

A Robert McCammon Signing on the Horizon

Robert McCammon is Coming!

As we did with The Five, we’ve decided to fly Rick McCammon to the SubPress offices to sign The Providence Rider for customers. He’s become such a part of the SubPress family that it made sense to bring him in again. We also have a very limited stock of Baal left, which he’ll be happy to personalize as well.

Now’s also a good time to let you know that we put our heads together with Rick and his agent and worked out the frameworks so we’ll publish the fifth Matthew Corbett novel down the road.

To limit the effect on Rick’s hands and wrists, we’ve set a few guidelines for what he’ll be signing and inscribing:

Personal Inscriptions:

  • Deluxe Trade Hardcover of The Providence Rider, with illustrated endsheets;
  • Signed, Limited Edition of The Providence Rider;
  • Signed, Lettered Edition of The Providence Rider;
  • Signed, Limited Edition of Baal;
  • Signed, Deluxe Limited Edition of Baal.

Signed Only, Not Inscribed

  • Regular Trade Hardcover.

Important Note: If you already have a book eligible to be inscribed by Rick, please drop us an email at [email protected] with your name, address, and how you would like the book inscribed. Those who have the regular trade edition on order will automatically receive signed copies. Please note that Rick will not be signing copies for large online retailers or our wholesale accounts.
