Hey!
So, do you ever read those “Best of the Year” type collections?
The Best Mystery Stories of 2024, The Best Science Fiction Stories of 2024, The Best Sentient Tomato Monologues of 2024 (Excluding Those That Touch on the Fruit-or-Vegetable Controversy…
Okay, maybe they don’t get that niche. Sometimes it’s more just like, The Best Stories of 2024, period. Bold.
Of course, with all these short stories and collections that I’ve been releasing over the last couple of years… well, you can see where this is going.
Why not kick off my own annual collection? With an eclectic, genre-hopping selection from the stories I’ve published over the previous year? Sounds pretty fun.
And yes, I know it’s almost 2026. But it’s still technically 2025, which means I’m still following the convention of releasing the “best of” that was published last year.
(Whew. That was close…)
Stories From 2024 (and Before)
A First Annual Collection of Delicious Short Fiction
From acclaimed storyteller BILL ALIVE, author of DON'T DANCE ON THE LOBSTERS, comes a marvelous little story collection featuring Victorian star vessels, doomed high school romances, two college radio DJs on the run from the British police, and more…
Do you love eclectic story collections?
The kind of book that ranges widely in its stories, across comedy, science fiction, comedy, unrequited love, more comedy…
Okay, so yes, you'll get some comedy. But also more!
In Stories From 2024 (And Before), the first (!) annual story collection from Bill Alive, you'll get five unique short stories that first appeared in 2024 (or before). A splendid introduction to Alive's short fiction.
If you relish variety and adventure in your reading, and plucking up each new story to savor, like a bonbon in a box of chocolates, then don't miss this delicious new collection!

No paperback edition is available yet.
Sadly, (and possibly due to time constraints) there’s no paperback version on this one yet. But the paperback edition should be available in a few months, I’ll let you know.
(And don’t worry, Stories From 2025 will come out much sooner in 2026.)
Thank you for checking out this new release! Happy reading!
