latest historical thriller, Mister Slaughter, is proceeding very smoothly toward publication. Vincent Chong has turned in not only what may be the best cover of McCammon's career, he's also contributed six interior illustrations to the novel—a pair of which are posted to the book's page.

So far it's the best cover of the "Matthew Corbett" novels. I love that straight razor at the top. Now I know what Mr. Slaughter uses to kill his victims with.

David Scott Bunegar i do not care who you are, I am loving Matthew Corbett series, and I usually only read horror. thank you for writing again

Fatirah Aziz

Fatirah Aziz Wow! How much do I love your work; let me count the ways. 'Swan Song' is my true favorite, but 'The Wolf's Hour' is a close second. And 'Stinger'!! I wish I hadn't read them, so I could read them fresh, but anyway, I've read them all at least twice. :-)

Jorge Prada

Jorge Prada Robert, thanks for the many hours of pure escape!

Kevin McCormick

Kevin McCormick Dear Robert. I love your books. I think that BAAL and THEY THIRST are not novels-they are literature. In my humble opinion,only Christopher Marlowe has a better command of the English language than you do.
But then again he didn't write those masterworks-as above.
I would love though if you would write a sequel to THEY THIRST. As I would love to know if Palatazin ever got to release his father Emil from his Hellish state. In THEY THIRST, Vulkan makes reference to the Countess who resided in the Deconsecrated monstery on Mount Jaeger.
I think that it would be a criminal waste of your talent as a writer to neglect a sequel to THEY THIRST. As I have been patiently waiting the last 25yrs for a sequel. P.s I can't seem to get your books in the U.K

Wayne C. Rogers I can't believe it's been over thirty years since I read your first novel. You know, you look older, but you still have that happy smile!

Peggo Person Hi. I'm a Gone South fan.
I've read all your books at least once. Gone South speaks to the weirdness in me. I'm looking forward to the new one.
Thanks for writing.

Tracy Bagwell West Still need to find a copy of Queen of Bedlam... I'm so behind! :(

Robert McCammon

Robert McCammon Great Name. You probably wouldn't believe how many people think I am you. I have some fun with it at times.

Kyle Bakke

Kyle Bakke Hey, Hunter, there's gonna be enough copies of Mr. Slaughter - I'm referring to the 24.95 version - to go around, right? We shouldn't be in a mad rush to pre-order, should we? Just wondering. I'd be pretty bummed if I couldn't get my hands on a copy.

Robert McCammon
Robert McCammon
Yes, there should be plenty. The book will be distributed by Ingram, so it should be in bookstores everywhere (or at least orderable by bookstores everywhere).

It's listed on Amazon now, but it's the same price (currently) as directly from Subterranean Press.

Pretty nifty!

Uhhhh...didn't Sister Creep die? I can't see Robert bringing back a dead character...sounds too soap operarish to me.
Katie ONeill

Katie ONeill Does anyone know if there are fireflies about in Alabama and Tennessee right now?

Carole

Had not heard that, Dana. I am in Arlington, VA and usually see quite a lot of them. But haven't paid attention this year because we've had so much rain. I will watch for them now. We're missing honeybees, now fireflies. Can't lose the fireflies!
Carole
Carole
Firefly watcher report: I also am seeing virtual carpets of fireflies in Arlington, VA. This isn't exactly a rural oasis. But in places with grass, trees, dim outdoor lighting, the fireflies are there. Now if I could just lure back some hummingbirds.
John James Gallimore

John James Gallimore Bring on Mr Slaughter! Also looking forward to Subterranean's limited release of McCammon's older stuff.

Mark Miles

Mark Miles I can hardly wait for the new book. I think you are among today's best authors.

Russell

Russell I was in the middle of reading Swan Song, the first book of McCammon's that I've read, and my girlfriend pointed out that he lives just down the street from her house! I had no idea we had such a great writer in the neighborhood! Hopefully I can get his autograph once I'm done reading the book.

Erik Jackson

Erik Jackson Thanks for the incredible stories!

Benjamin J. Schmidt

Benjamin J. Schmidt Hey Robert McCammon,




I really enjoyed reading "Boy's Life," and "Gone South." They both are really good books and I highly recommend them to teenage readers. I think if people have a problem with your books they should read "A Day That No Pigs Would Die." Thats a good one too.

Keep writing good stuff.

Pat

Pat I'm looking forward to the day when I can read Speaks The Nightbird, The Queen of Bedlam and Mister Slaughter. I LOve Mccammon but was hurt by his abandonment of the millions of fans he dearly disappointed when the books ended during his sabatical. I still though Hope and pray for the Wol ves Hour to continue on. Wonder if Anne Rice reads his historical novels. The imagination of R, McCammon left me awake at the most dire hours of the evening. MUST get started back into Robert (Bobby anyone) now that his imagination is once again on fire.

xoxoxo

Andrew Scorah

Andrew Scorah i recommend they thirst its a cracking read
