The trade paperback edition of The King of Shadows, book 8 in the Matthew Corbett series, has now officially been published. You can order from AmazonBarnes & NobleBooks-A-MillionBookshop.org, or your local indie.

COMING SOON! Seven Shades of Evil is the ninth volume in the series, and this fascinating installment features a wide range of adventures undertaken by both Matthew and his friends over the years. The World’s First Edition will be the trade hardcover published on October 24, and the sold out signed & slipcased Limited Edition will be out this winter.

When Subterranean Press published the limited edition of The Providence Rider in 2012, they included a bonus Matthew Corbett short story called “Death Comes for the Rich Man.” Several years later, the story was reprinted in the anthology Subterranean: Tales of Dark Fantasy 3.

Until now, the only way to read the story was by having a copy of one of those books. The story is not included in the upcoming collection Seven Shades of Evil, so Robert McCammon decided to release the story digitally here as a free gift for his readers. You can read the story as a web page here, or you can download the story in various ebook formats.

The cover art for the ebook is by Vincent Chong. The illustration accompanied the story in the limited edition of The Providence Rider. Thank you to Vincent for letting us re-use the image for the ebook files!

Seven Shades of Evil launch party set

The Alabama Booksmith announces details of the official launch party for Seven Shades of Evil. The event will take place on Saturday, October 28, 2023. At 2:30, in the upstairs auditorium, Mr. McCammon will talk about the new book and take questions. At 3:30, he will draw the name of the lucky winner of the beautiful walking stick and then go downstairs to sign books.

Because of limited space for the talk, reservations are required. There is no charge for tickets, but they must be requested as books are purchased. Each copy purchased from The Alabama Booksmith may receive one seat. No reservations are needed for the booksigning, and space is unlimited.
