Originally publicized as having an April 2017 release date. Copies were not shipped until June.

The Charnel House Web site gave no pre-publication indication that this was a reprint of “Black River” originally released in 1999. Therefore at least some collectors (including yours truly) thought this was a sequel until the book was in hand.

In late June 2017, the following was published on the Charnel House Web site:
“Both states of BLACK RIVER, I’ll Be Watching Over You by Dean Koontz have been shipped. When Dean ends this series of novellas and novelettes Charnel House will issue a slipcase to house the entire series. There are few copies remaining of this title still available for purchase. Order now to own the first book of this series, you can then retain your number for the series.”
