The Collectible Robert McCammon

[TacomaDiver]

I'm pretty late to the McCammon party as well, and have loved everything that I've read so far.

I've had my eyes on the SL Sub Press edition of the two Wolf books but just can't pull the trigger. The seller has even lowered their price recently too. Sooooo tempting.

I arrived pretty late to the party regarding Robert McCammon. Several of his books were published in Spanish decades ago and I saw them a hundred times but never decided to jump in. I finally did last year and it was one of the most pleasant surprises I had in the genre. I started buying the books that were available in Spanish (got them all already) and since some of the S/L had a great price I bit and bought some. I'm still missing a lot of his S/L (I'm currently searching for a copy of The Wolf's Hour S/L at a reasonable price) but it has been refreshing to finally discover this author. The only thing I'd like is that his S/L editions would have more illustrations.

Two recent arrivals.

This is a hardcover book club edition of a Spanish translation of MINE. I had a paperback edition, but didn't know about the HC BCE until I stumbled over it.



Also, GraphicAudio has released their adaptation of Last Train from Perdition, and they've combined that with I Travel by Night for a CD release containing both parts.

Cool, I didn't know they were doing those on graphic audio.
Is there regular audio books too? I think Wolf's hour was released on graphic audio first and the audiobook came like a year later.

You are correct about The Wolf's Hour, but no, there are no regular audiobook versions of the Trevor Lawson novellas (yet?).

Long shot here, but I am trying to track down #247 of The Last Train From Perdition. Any luck here?

Is there any word on when "The Listener" is going to be released?

[goathunter]

Not yet. I expect an announcement within the next month or so.

Wo wo wo...I'm missing something. What's that?

[goathunter]

The Listener is the book Rick finished before Thanksgiving. Here's a bit about the novel from this June 2016 interview:

[...] Right now I’m finishing up a book called The Listener, set in the 1930s, about the kidnapping of two children in New Orleans.

Q: Is The Listener a supernatural novel?

A: Well, let’s say it has ‘strange’ elements. Not necessarily supernatural, but there’s a bizarre hook to the story. I also think I may have created one of the most hideous and cunning women villains ever…she’s the one who comes up with the kidnapping plot. Then my ‘hero’ is a young black man who’s a redcap at the train station in New Orleans. He’s basically the only one who can get the two children to safety, and it’s going to be a long hard road for him.

Nice! THANKS!!

[Phalucha]

Awesome! I did not know this was coming!

[Beverly Marsh]

Would someone have an idea of what the Dark Harvest S/L of Swan Song might be worth these days?

[Ari_Racing]

Last one I saw sold was $200.

Recently I got all of my Matthew Corbett series books remarqued by Vincent Chong. I think he's an amazing artist and I could not be any more happier the way it turned out.

[firemonkey66]

Wow, those are awesome. A big congrats!

[Phalucha]

That is really something - beautiful remarques.

[Theli]

Fantastic remarques!

[Ari_Racing]

Awesome remarques!

[ym2000]

Thank you everyone!

Recently arrived: the Czech hardcover edition of Robert McCammon's The Border.

As we talked about it, I'd love to see his last books translated to Spanish!

Very nice! Congratulations!

I love sub press and this book but 8 illustrations!? For a 1200 page book? Man what a bummer. The cover is neat though.

For completeness, here's the cover art by David Ho. Additional images can be found on the Subterranean Press order page.

Considering that this is the "Big One" that everybody has been waiting years for Subpress to do, I'm surprised by 2 things: That they're only doing 500 ("regular" limited editions), and, that they kept the price a reasonably sane $150 (Unlike that Summer of Night hard pill last year). I do appreciate that.

(I also appreciate Kim at Camelot books, who rescued me again: just when I was lamenting that it would prob sell out before I could come up with the scratch to get one- she emails that since I purchased BOY'S LIFE through them, would she like them to reserve a SWAN SONG for me with the same number? Payment- as always- not due until the book arrives?. Love her)
