From Brian Keene's newsletter, this morning :

Q: Who is the publisher?
A: Gallery Books - a division of Simon & Schuster

Q: When will the book be available?
A: Too early to give a firm date. My best guess is that it will be up for preorder around this time next year, with an early 2025 release date? But that is only my guess and should not be taken as gospel. Could be earlier. Could be later.

Can’t wait!

Brian said yesterday that their plan is to make the anthology about as long as the novel!

Very cool idea. I'd love to see Grady Hendrix added.
