Inspired by fellow collector Yegor Malinovskii, Paul Evans recently commissioned artist Vincent Chong to remarque every story in his limited edition of the Subterranean Press Blue World. As usual, Vincent’s work is pretty amazing!

Reviews of Cardinal Black are starting to appear. The Publishers Weekly review can be read online (mild plot spoilers).
As usual, McCammon dazzles the reader with gritty historical detail, vivid local color, and a cast of memorable grotesques….
And from Booklist:
Despite the violence and seriousness of the mission, McCammon is able to interject moments of kindness and even humor throughout.
German publisher Luzifer Verlag has acquired the German translation rights to Boy’s Life. Luzifer has already published a German edition of The Border, as well as the first two books in the Matthew Corbett series. They are publishing a German edition of Mister Slaughter in November 2019. Presumably, their edition of Boy’s Life will see print sometime in 2020. More info as I know it….
