The Alabama Booksmith launch for The King of Shadows

Alabama Booksmith hosted Robert McCammon on Saturday, December 3, 2022, for the public launch of The King of Shadows. I managed to make it down to Birmingham for the event, and it was great to see so many people turn out for it. The crowd—80 to 100 people—was easily twice the size of the turnout for the Cardinal Black launch in 2019. Considering how small the bookstore is, that was a lot of people!

Before signing books, Mr. McCammon read an excerpt from The King of Shadows and answered audience questions. Thanks to Alabama Booksmith, the event was livestreamed on Facebook, and I’ve uploaded it to YouTube.

In addition, thanks to Tony Thomas, better video of just the reading from The King of Shadows is also available on YouTube:

Finally, YouTube user It’s Terrific has posted a video of his experience and the items he had signed.

Finally, finally, YouTube channel The Jeff Word also posted a video of his experience.

Check RobertMcCammon.com in a day or two for some photos from the event.

Best Selling author Robert R. McCammon has a very different take on the MUMMY; he’s a dapper fellow with a bow tie and boutonniere! Clearly ready for the Monster Prom, Robert’s fancy Mummy is one of a kind. Thanks so much for participating, Rick!
