Mine was released on audio yesterday; it's available on Audible.
I've also just finished listening to Mystery Walk. Really great novel, and the narration was very good.
I listen to audiobooks almost exclusively, and having these older McCammon novels available means I can finally enjoy them. I've been trying to listen to them in order, and seeing McCammon's writing get better and better with each novel is very enjoyable.

I really wish there were more physical McCammon books, I can't listen to the digital ones in the car bc I have to pause it to listen to traffic every 20 minutes and my car doesn't have a display
to ipod hookup and it takes my nine minutes to find how to pause on the phone and shouldn't be looking at phone driving anyway. I miss the clickable ipod wheels.
That's my story, hope everyone enjoyed it...
My library has all of them except for some of the oldest ones. They even have all of the Sub Press trades.
If you would prefer CDs, there is a way to burn audible files to CD. I think it requires iTunes, though.
i have no idea what criteria Brilliance uses to decide which audiobooks to release on physical MP3 CDs, but there are a number of them available now, with Stinger, Mystery Walk, and Usher's Passing coming out April 24 and May 8.

Sweet thanks Hunter! Looks like The Listener comes out on mp3 on May 22 and Mine on May 29. His web page for audio books on amazon is goofy. It's not as easy finding these, usually you could just click on MINE and it will say other formats available but audio cd isnt one of them but if you click audio cd from the author page it just has MINE and STALKERS.

All good news though!
Cool thanks Hunter.
The artwork on these are pretty awesome

Do you know if they did all the stories and maybe who did the artwork?
They did not do all of the stories (notably, "Blue World" itself was not included). The William Windom readings are some of the best readings I've ever heard. Ever. He's perfect on those stories. It's too bad that S&S hasn't re-released these readings.
From the bibliography on RobertMcCammon.com:
Unfortunately, I don't think I've ever known who did the artwork for those, though both are great.Nightcrawlers: Stories from Blue World
Dramatic reading on audiocassette, Simon & Schuster Audio, 1989. Read by William Windom. Running time: 180 minutes on 2 cassettes. Includes "Night Calls the Green Falcon," "Nightcrawlers," and "Yellowjacket Summer."
Something Passed By
Dramatic reading on audiocassette, Simon & Schuster Audio, 1990. Read by Michael O'Keefe. Running time: 180 minutes on 2 cassettes. Includes "Something Passed By," "Makeup," "The Red House," "Pin," and "Chico."

Great info thanks! I will have to track those down to give them a listen.
Hope it's ok to post this here..
After having been a Robert McCammon collector for decades, it is time to pass my books on to anyone interested. I found it very hard to price these books, but I think HOPE- my prices are reasonable.
Personally I feel McCammon is one of the most under-appreciated authors ever and I really hope that one day he will find a much larger audience. His books deserve it, Mr. McCammon deserves it.
Rules of the game:
*I am based in Europe, therefore:
*All prices in euros. Add approx. 20% for the US equivalent.
*shipping (including track&trace) will be:
- 24.30 for one book.
-34.30 for 2 or 3 books (depending on the weight) I will pay half.
-58.30 for 3-4, maybe 5 books (again, depending on the weight) I will pay half
-Within Europe, shipping will be less.
*If interested, contact via PM please
*As I am the original owner of practically all of these books, most are in mint, unread condition (F/F); those that have been read I marked with a double **. And believe me, its almost impossible to tell they have been. Read, that is, as Im an obsessively careful reader .As many of us are, I bet.
*Pics upon request.
*Think this is it. If I forgot to menetion anything, do let me know.
*Yes, I did forget something: I prefer to sell the Matthew Corbett S/Ls as a set; that also goes for the I Travel By Night books, the two S/Ls as a set, and the two lettereds as well. I will contact SubPress and let Bill know that rights to these editions go to a new customer.

I am not the first owner of this book. It has been read by me, and maybe by the previous owner as well. I would rate the book as NF/NF. The pages have yellowed somewhat. The book is known for its poor quality. This is one of the best editions Ive seen.

This was my very first McCammon S/L. Although it has been read, the book is in Fine condition. The dj I would rate NF, as the edges are slightly worn in places; I think from removing the book from its slipcase. The spine might be a bit faded, not sure though.

Any insight on why McCammon did not contribute a story to the last of the Greystone Bay books? I enjoyed his stories in the first three books of that anthology.
I've never asked him about it, but I do know that the fourth volume was published after Gone South, when McCammon was deliberately taking a break from writing to spend time with his newborn daughter. I don't know if he was invited or not, but even if he had been, he wasn't writing at that time (that was around the time he was beginning his research for Speaks the Nightbird).

From mail I sent out to McCammon-News this morning:
There's a new PBS series starting next month called The Great American Read, "inviting Americans to vote for their favorite book (or books) from the list of 100 finalists below."
Swan Song is on the list!

Very exciting!
Here's the link to the PBS page about the show:

Lots of things wrong with that list (RP1? seriously?), but seeing McCammon on there is great!
