Subterranean Press has just reprinted the trade edition of The Hunter from the Woods, and I just received word that Robert McCammon will be at Alabama Booksmith at 5 PM on Thursday, February 13, 2020, to chat about The Hunter from the Woods and to provide a sneak preview of the next Matthew Corbett book. He will, of course, sign copies of The Hunter from the Woods, which will be available for purchase that day, as well as any other books you purchase there or bring with you.

The Alabama Booksmith is located in Birmingham, AL. If you can’t make it to the signing, you can order signed copies from the Alabama Booksmith website.

Robert McCammon reads a new story: “DST, INC.”

 Readings, Robert McCammon, Short stories  Comments Off on Robert McCammon reads a new story: “DST, INC.”
Nov 262019
 

Saturday, November 23, 2019, Robert McCammon participated in a Noir at the Bar event with a dozen other authors at The Wild Roast Café in Hoover, AL. Each author had a few minutes to read a short story or an excerpt from one of their works. McCammon chose to write a new story for the event called “DST, INC.”

David Walters of Authors on a Podcast Talking Books recorded audio of the event, including the full reading of “DST, INC.” He posted the podcast on Anchor.fm. It can also be heard on Spotify.

I extracted Robert McCammon’s reading and adjusted the audio some to make it easier to hear. You can listen to Robert McCammon reading “DST, INC.” below.

If you’d rather read “DST, INC.” you can find it here.

You can also download the story in these formats: AZW3 (Kindle), MOBI, EPUB (NOOK), PDF

Here are a couple of photos from the event, courtesy of Andy Davidson via Twitter.

The Cardinal Black book launch took place on Saturday, April 20, 2019, at the Alabama Booksmith in Birmingham, AL. Mr. McCammon spoke about the Matthew Corbett series and his career, and he read the first chapter from Cardinal Black. People who pre-ordered Cardinal Black were entered into a random drawing for a copy of the Subterranean Press limited edition of Swan Song. After the presentation, Mr. McCammon signed books and posed for photos. There were approximately 100 people in attendance for the signing.

Thank you to Jake Reiss, the Alabama Booksmith owner, for hosting the Cardinal Black book launch! The weather was perfect, and everyone seemed to have a great time.

Photos by Hunter Goatley. I had intended to get more photos of people getting their books signed, but I ended up talking to people instead.

Update: you can also read Blu Gilliand’s report on the Cemetery Dance website, including video of the reading from Cardinal Black.
