While visiting with Robert McCammon last week for the launch of The Listener, I took this (lame) photo of the World Fantasy Award that he received in 1992 for Boy’s Life.

Vincent Chong posted this on his blog this morning:
A while ago I posted a sketch I did for an idea for one of the interior pieces for Freedom of the Mask, by Robert McCammon, which was ultimately unused. A fan of the Matthew Corbett series saw the sketch and ended up commissioning me to produce the finished art based on it. Here’s the result.
We’re a month away from the release of Robert McCammon’s new novel, The Listener. The limited edition from Cemetery Dance is long sold-out, but copies of the UK limited edition from SST Publications can still be ordered. Click here for details.
If you want a signed copy of the trade hardcover, you can pre-order a copy from Alabama Booksmith. As I previously mentioned, Robert McCammon will be signing copies of The Listener and other books at the launch event for The Listener at Alabama Booksmith on Tuesday, February 27, 2018, at 5 PM.

Every pre-order comes with a chance in the drawing for the 30th anniversary slipcase limited edition of Swan Song and a certificate signed by Mr. McCammon authenticating that copy was purchased prior to publication.
Here’s a great new, spoiler-free review of THE LISTENER from @SadieLouWho!
“I just added a new book to my list of all time favorite novels. I added Curtis Mayhew to my all time favorite characters list and I became a certified, legit fangirl of Robert McCammon because of this story: The Listener.”
Earlier this month, I reported about upcoming audiobook releases from Audible.
Two of the audiobooks are available now for pre-ordering:
The Listener, narrated by Marc Vietor
Stinger, narrated by Nick Sullivan
Update on 16-FEB-2018:
Mystery Walk, narrated by Nick Sullivan
The Listener will be released on February 27. Stinger, Mystery Walk, and Usher’s Passing will be released on February 20. MINE will be released on March 28.
On January 10, 2018, Cemetery Dance’s Brian Freeman posted this on his blog:
The final step before the process is out of our hands: the bluelines for Robert McCammon’s incredible new novel, The Listener, have been reviewed at the Cemetery Dance Publications office and the printer has been given the green light to roll:

You can also order signed copies at the Alabama Booksmith that come with an insert also signed by Robert McCammon certifying that book was purchased prior to publication date, and a chance in the drawing for the thirtieth anniversary edition of Swan Song.
