Subterranean Press has announced the trade hardcover edition of The Hunter from the Woods, which will be available in Fall 2012. You can pre-order the trade hardcover edition from Subterranean here.

Subterranean Press has also published the final part of their 3-part interview with Robert McCammon by Gwenda Bond. She and Robert talk about Matthew, his favorite research finds, the challenges of writing historical fiction, and the exclusive new Matthew Corbett novella that will be included with the limited edition. Robert also shares a tip about something to look for the books that fans of the series won’t want to miss.  You can read part all three parts of the interview on the Subterranean site: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3.

Finally, a few reviews have popped up around the ‘net in recent days:

Finally, Lou Pendergrast has created a Robert McCammon group on GoodReads. The goal is to read one Robert McCammon novel each month and discuss it.

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.

From the Publishers Weekly website:

The Providence Rider
Robert R. McCammon. Subterranean (www.subterraneanpress.com), $26.95 (416p) ISBN 978-1-59606-466-9

Problem-solver Matthew Corbett’s past comes back to haunt him in McCammon’s intriguing fourth historical thriller (after 2010’s Mister Slaughter). Shanghaied in 1704 from Manhattan to Pendulum Island, the Bermuda home of his nemesis, criminal mastermind Professor Fell, Matthew is tasked with finding out who among Fell’s criminal confederates is leaking to England Fell’s plans to sell a devastating new type of weapon to the nation’s European enemies. Matthew must not only risk betraying his mother country to do Fell’s bidding but also find some way to save his girlfriend, Berry Grigsby, whom Fell is holding in pawn until Matthew completes the job. Once again, McCammon provides a colorful and well-researched depiction of colonial America, enlivened by a rogues’ gallery of well-drawn characters. Hair’s-breadth escapes and the teasing promise that characters who appear to have been disposed of might resurface in future adventures make this a rollicking good yarn. Agent: Cameron McClure, DMLA.
