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we have finally found a book format capable of properly housing Robert McCammon’s novels today—whether previously unpublished or not, whether sprawling or compact, and whether they feature psychopaths or wolves.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 Volume 2 includes a brand-new, previously unpublished short story centered on Michael Gallatin.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.

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.

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.

Bulgarian publisher Iztok-Zapad has acquired the Bulgarian translation rights to Robert McCammon’s The Wolf’s Hour. Iztok-Zapad previously published translations of Swan Song (2019) and Boy’s Life (2013).

Taiwan publisher Nautilus has released their Chinese translation of Robert McCammon’s The Wolf’s Hour. The trade paperback can be purchased from various Taiwan bookselling websites now. The cover art below has been added to the Book Cover Gallery.
