From Cemetery Dance:

Hi Folks!

We have an important update about Cardinal Black by Robert McCammon to share with you today.

In our excitement to publish this incredible novel as fast as we could, we picked the earliest publication date that was feasible if everything went according to plan after we received the manuscript back in August, and unfortunately our printer has informed us they cannot meet the ship date we requested due to the continuing backlog of work on their main press.

We apologize for this delay. We were a little too excited about publishing this one, and we should have planned on a later date to begin with, but the good news is the printer does have all of the materials for the book and they are firmly committed to getting us the trade hardcover in early April.

We’re setting the new publication date for April 30, 2019 and we thank you again for all of your continuing support!
