Announcing BAAL by Robert Mccammon!
17th Apr 2026
Lividian Publications is incredibly proud to announce our most ambitious undertaking ever: the Robert McCammon Library, a new hardcover series designed to publish every Robert McCammon book in a unified set. The first volume in this very special set is Baal, his first novel, which was originally published in 1978.
Lividian has been kind enough to allow us to offer copies to our customers!
This new special edition features full-color wrap-around dust jacket artwork and ten black-and-white interior illustrations by François Vaillancourt, along with an introduction by Robert McCammon and “When the World Goes to Hell: Apocalyptic Horror and Human Evil in Robert McCammon’s Baal” by Mathias Clasen, the acclaimed Danish scholar of horror fiction.
About the Book:
A woman is ravished...
and to her a child is born...
unleashing an unimaginable evil upon the world!
And they call him BAAL in the orphanage, where he leads the children on a rampage of violence...in California, where he appears as the head of a deadly Manson-like cult...in Kuwait, where crazed millions heed his call to murder and orgy.
They call him BAAL in the Arctic's hellish wasteland, where he is tracked by the only three men with a will to stop him: Zark, the shaman; Virga, the aging professor of theology; and Michael, the powerful, mysterious stranger.
