  11. My 2025 Reading Stacks #4: All the Prose That’s Left to Print

    Previously on Midlife Crisis Crossover: Welcome once again to our recurring MCC feature in which I scribble capsule reviews of everything I've read lately that was published in a physical format over a certain page count with a squarebound spine on it -- novels, original graphic novels, trade paperbacks, infrequent nonfiction dalliances, and so on. Due to the way I structure my media-consumption time blocks, the list will always feature more graphic novels than works of prose and pure text, though I do try to diversify my literary diet as time and acquisitions permit. Occasionally I'll sneak in a contemporary review if I've gone out of my way to buy and read something brand new. Every so often I'll borrow from my wife or from our local library. But the majority of our spotlighted works are presented years after the rest of the world already finished and moved on from them because I'm drawing from my vast unread pile that presently occupies four oversize shelves comprising thirty-three years of uncontrolled book shopping. I've occasionally pruned the pile, but as you can imagine, cut out one unread book and three more take its place... ...unless we do as Heracles and Iolaus did with the Hydra: set everything on fire so it can't regrow. We're not doing that; consequently, the never-ending literary consumption continues. So far we've covered two critical tomes by a premier TV critic, the two comics creators who showed up in my 2025 stacks the most, and a selection of graphic novels and trades that were great and/or tall. Next up: nothing but prose! Novels, memoirs, short-story collections -- all words and virtually no pictures, apart from some spot illustrations. […]

  16. #MurderEveryMonday Crime fiction title with an evaluative adjective

    When Kate reminded us of this week’s #MurderEveryMonday theme, my first thought was for H. R. F. Keating because I had noticed a pattern in some of his books:

    • The Bad Detective
    • The Good Detective
    • The Soft Detective
    • The Rich Detective

    These are standalone’s and I never read anything by Keating, but I’m curious about his writing. He was president of the Detection Club between 1985 and 2000. I do have two related books in my immediate TBR: Agatha Christie: First Lady of Crime, essays edited by him, and The Verdict of Us All – edited by Peter Lovesey, a collection of short stories by The Detection Club’s members in honour of Keating’s 80th birthday, which include before each work a memory or contact these writers had of H.R.F. Keating.

  29. Not Too Long & Not Too Short

    Here’s a quick notification for anyone interested in writing and publication venues and supporting a fun Kickstarter:

    Missed-Fits: A Calendar of Fools Anthology by Storm Humbert

    The idea for Missed-Fits is born of two central motivations at Calendar of Fools: the desire to create truly unique books and reading experiences for our readers, and the desire to provide a service or fill a gap we see in the professional short fiction space. In this case, the gap we saw was a relative dearth of stories of a certain length (1,200 to 2,100 words)…

    I backed an earlier Calendar of Fools campaign and am happy to see that these anthologies are still going strong.

    Given that I like books, often write stories that don’t fit traditional venue length requirements, and enjoy supporting artists, this is right up my alley. 

    Perhaps these are things you like too?
