Michael Holland is a grim reaper working the worst beat in the worst town. Michael’s best friend is a pot-smoking tooth fairy, his boss is the angel of death, his psychiatrist can read his mind, and he counts bogeymen, demons, and clones as his acquaintances.His nine-to-five is a succession of stupidity, clearing up the remains of the latest Darwin Award winner or dealing with the detritus of some apocalyptic clerical error, and it only seems to be getting worse. Michael is as equally disillusioned with death as he was with life, but at least life made more sense.In Forever After, Michael starts to question whether his immortality is really worth having. He sees clueless souls cross over every day, and battling confused succubi, tormented psychopaths, evil henchmen, and even a demon who thinks he’s Santa Claus is getting boring. Is there something more exciting for this grim reaper to do in this sad little town? This darkly humorous novel is set in a fantasy world that exists parallel to ours—a world where anything is possible, very little makes sense, and nothing is as it seems.

The Private Papers of Henry Ryecroft by George Gissing is a reflective, semi-autobiographical work that delves into the life and musings of a retired author living in quiet solitude. Through a series of personal essays and diary entries, Ryecroft contemplates his modest successes, literary ambitions, and the struggles of a writer’s life marked by financial hardship and unfulfilled dreams. Now in comfortable retirement, he finds solace in books, nature, and introspection, cherishing the simple joys of independence and self-sufficiency. Gissing uses Ryecroft’s voice to explore themes of artistic integrity, the tension between commerce and creativity, and the bittersweet passage of time. The work is both a meditation on life’s regrets and triumphs and a celebration of intellectual freedom. The Private Papers of Henry Ryecroft offers a poignant, understated glimpse into the mind of a writer reconciled with his past, yearning for beauty, and finding peace in life’s twilight.
