The book may be published in two volumes (with the second volume appearing in October), but that is apparently still under discussion. Pocket Books will also be repromoting and reissuing Gone South, Mystery Walk, and Usher's Passing during that same timeframe. The new reprints will presumably have new cover artwork, as well.
