Hey! So you know how I just started my new “annual” series of story collections, with Stories From 2024? Well, now that 2025 is past, it’s time to lock that series in with an official second volume. And so, with great pride, joy, and a certain sympathy for the dog on the cover, who seems slightly nonplussed, I present to you now, for your reading pleasure, Stories From 2025: An Annual Collection of Delicious Short Fiction.
This might just become a habit…
Stories From 2025
An Annual Collection of Delicious Short Fiction
From acclaimed storyteller and comedy writer BILL ALIVE, author of WILD, WILD, WEALTH, comes a delicious new collection of scrumptious short fiction, the latest, can't-miss entry in this festive annual series…
In 2025, Bill Alive published not two, not three, but six separate collections of short fiction. Six.
Collections with widely varying themes, ranging from hilarious news parody, to quirky literary short stories, to bonkers philosophy comedies, to comedy short stories, to comedy self-help parody… okay, maybe he went heavy on the comedy.
But still! For a comedy connoisseur like yourself, where to begin?
Right here, my friend. In Stories From 2025, you'll get one unique, complete, and (with one sweet exception) potentially hilarious short fiction piece from each of those six new collections.
A billionaire vampire. Delusional philosophers (with guns). A private cornfield in the Midwest where the mail carriers keep mysteriously vanishing, possibly due to crocodiles. Even a sweet little love story involving car trouble and a long-distance relationship with a dire Anniversary Emergency.
All this awaits you, and more, in Stories From 2025.
(For more info on each included story, as well as the collection in which it first appeared, take a peek and peruse the Introduction…)
