The ebook edition of Robert McCammon’s Boy’s Life is one of twenty-two books included in the Humble Book Bundle: Forbidden Books this year. Pay what you want, and help support charity. The more you pay, the more books you get. To get Boy’s Life (along with 14 other books), you must pay $8 or more. Bundled books are DRM-free, and the charities supported this year are National Coalition Against Censorship and Comic Book Legal Defense Fund.
YouTube user jeffingoff posted “unboxing” videos for the SST limited edition of The Listener and the Cemetery Dance lettered edition of The Listener. You can get a good look at both editions in his videos.
Subterranean Press posted this announcement this morning:
We (and the author) have noticed that one of the earlier Matthew Corbett novels has been bringing in high prices on the secondary market, making it inaccessible to general readers, so have decided to reprint the trade hardcover of Mister Slaughter. This reprint will not be huge, so if you’d like a copy, please get your order in.Trade: Fully cloth bound hardcover edition: $40
The book will also be available through Cemetery Dance:
Cemetery Dance has posted the final cover for Cardinal Black, which they’re publishing in early 2019.

Brian Freeman of Cemetery Dance sent me the following a few minutes ago:
Today we received the “final approval case” for THE LISTENER Limited Edition, which means both the Limited Edition and the Lettered Edition of this title will be done and shipping in September.
Their case maker dropped the ball on this project and others.

A couple of international rights deals were recently made:
- French rights to Boy’s Life were acquired by Monsieur Toussaint Louverture
- Bulgarian rights to Swan Song were acquired by Iztok-Zapad
Boy’s Life has been previously published a few times in France.
This will be the first Bulgarian edition of Swan Song. Iztok-Zapad previously published Boy’s Life in 2013.
I would expect that it’ll be at least a year before either edition is published.
Today, Friday, August 17, 2018, until 11:59 PM PT, the Audible audiobook production of The Listener is only $3.95!
The Listener is unabridged and narrated by Marc Vietor. You can listen to a sample here:
