Just saw Brian's Patreon email and had my mind blown. Cannot wait until he posts more details but already know that I will be in on the set of books for sure!

Some really fun stuff in the works for 2026, that's for sure! Will share more when I can.

Makes me very happy I get every lividian title!

Very jealous! Am only on the basic/1st tier (which still rocks btw). His Patreon really is the best of the ones I participate in.

Same, unless the set largely reprints the same collections that Thunderstorm has already done in limited form. But it didn’t *sound* like that was the case, with its mention of early stories, though I’m not quite clear on that yet. Hopefully we’ll get some clarification on that soon.

Personally, I would think knowing books (Shuddder!) were inside of a package would DISCOURAGE would-be thieves. No one reads these days but us, lol.

haha! (I sure wish I still got my email notifications about this forum... Sorry for my absence!)

I would just think that's different and give them to my mom.

That actually makes total sense that they would do that now that you mention they handle multiple projects at once. Yes, I'd much prefer to receive the correct item than lose the sticker if that is the trade-off.

"Hey, why'd I get a 6 pack of romance novels from Lividian! What the hell is Brian publishing these days!?"

[sholloman81]

I'll see if they can track the title/number in some other manner. I know their big concern was they're shipping for many other companies and they don't want to send someone the wrong book or number. Their logistical concerns are a little different than mine when it was just me! ha...

Just received my copy of The Ferryman. This truly might be my favorite production by Lividian. This book is freaking gorgeous and everything about the design works for me. Love the coloring and stamping of both the slipcase and the book itself. Also had no idea that the dustjacket was going to look that freaking awesome from the pictures that have been posted! I did avoid the interior art as I haven't read the story yet, but I'm sure that it's amazing as well. Overall, I am so happy to have this book and can't wait to read it soon.

P.S.- If I did have one minor complaint, it would be that the new shipping company put an exterior sticker on the outside of the shipping box stating what was inside, "lividian the ferryman book # 100". Not the end of the world, but I'd much prefer that people didn't know what was inside to avoid the temptation of theft. Probably a small chance of that happening, but I am a worrier! Other than that, the new ship[ping company did great and the book was packaged amazingly!

Thanks! I'm really happy with how this one turned out.
