- The cover of the limited edition
of Speaks the Nightbird has been added to the Cover Gallery.
- Ryan MacMichael sent in the following quote from the Nov/Dec 2002 issue of
Rue Morgue magazine. On page 46 at the end of a review of the
nazi-zombie DVD Shock Waves was this:
"Despite its faults, fans of independent seventies horror could spend
their hard-earned on much worse films than Shock Waves. It's worth
noting, however, that the all-time best underwater Nazi zombie tale
wasn't actually a film, but a novel: Robert R. McCammon's pulpy gem
The Night Boat."
Thanks, Ryan!
- Stephen Ellison sent in a scan of the
uncorrected proof for the U.S. paperback edition of Blue World, which
I've added to the Blue World Cover
Gallery. And thanks to Dave Gullberg, the MINE Cover Gallery now
includes the in-store display for McCammon's 1990 Nashville signing.

- The limited edition of Speaks the Nightbird has been shipped to book dealers;
Shocklines.com and
Camelot Books have both reported their receipt of the books.
- Speaks the Nightbird has been selected as one of the 76 best books in America by
the independent booksellers affiliated with BookSense for January and
February. You can see the
entire list by clicking here.
The selection process uses blurbs from independent booksellers who
actually read the books instead of other obligated authors and
publishers. Speaks the Nightbird was nominated by the Alabama Booksmith and was
among 2,000 nominations.
