Publishing Books: The First Half of 2024 in Review

Publishing Books: The First Half of 2024 in Review

Since we’re at the halfway mark of 2024, I thought this would be a good time to review what’s been published this year so far. Link to book page in the descriptions, but this is where we stand so far in publishing books this year.

There will be a publishing gap until later in the fall. There might be one thing, but that’s in floating status at the moment. The work is done. Just an issue of assembly.

AXIOM-MAN/CRIMSON CLOAK: SCARLET SYNERGY:

Surrounded by a strange red mist, Axiom-man finds himself in a world not his own. Not again. Meeting a man who calls himself the Crimson Cloak, Axiom-man and this red stranger must fight their way through a hotel of madness where each new floor brings on a deadly challenge. Go to book page.

CAUGHT IN BLACK HEADLIGHTS: POETRY COLLECTION:

All right, World, this is how it’s going to be: Rhymes and verse, Melodies rehearsed, across life’s rocky sea. Read a poem, maybe two, pick three if you wish to dare. Ramblings and coherence, sometimes jots of incoherence, anything for poetic flare. Enjoy and explore, please do, I implore. Let’s talk about life bizarre ’cause it’s pretty complex stuff, said Harvey Pekar. Go to book page.

THE CANISTER X TRANSMISSION: THE VERY LONG YEAR SIX:

Running from June 2020 to March 2024, readers received news straight from A.P. Fuchs’s bunker studio at Axiom-man Central that was meant to engage, entertain, and have some fun. Go to book page.

For all titles, please visit the Realm of Heroes and Monsters on Amazon.

Caught in Black Headlights Poetry Book Bestseller

Just a simple thank you to those who have been supporting my poetry book, CAUGHT IN BLACK HEADLIGHTS. It means a lot that a book of verse and rhyme are catching peoples’ interest.

Of course, poetry had to lose out to superheroes and monsters, but who doesn’t love METAHUMANS VS THE UNDEAD?

Anyway, thank you.

Caught in Black Headlights: Poetry Collection

Posted on June 1, 2024 5:00 am by A.P. Fuchs

Caught in Black Headlights: Poetry Collection

“A.P. Fuchs’ s Caught in Black Headlights highlights life things, all sorts of things, with a wondrous and unrelenting discernment and a brilliant sense of lyricism.” – John Urbancik, author of Annabel Lee, in Shadow

All right, World,
This is how it’s going to be:
Rhymes and verse
Melodies rehearsed
Across life’s rocky sea.

Listen up, Folks,
This is how we’re going to play:
Thoughts and comments,
Displays of indominance,
Making the rounds all day.

Read a poem, maybe two,
Pick three if you wish to dare.
Ramblings and coherence,
Sometimes jots of incoherence
Anything for poetic flare.

So get some eyes on some words
And give the brain a try.
You win some.
You lose most.
But in the end, Solomon said,
It’s vapor in the sky.

Enjoy and explore,
Please do, I implore.
Let’s talk about life bizarre
‘Cause it’s pretty complex stuff
Said Harvey Pekar.

Caught in Black Headlights Coming Soon

Posted on May 9, 2024 4:00 am by A.P. Fuchs

Caught in Black Headlights Coming Soon

We’re all set. Everything’s on track. My new poetry collection about the truths of life, CAUGHT IN BLACK HEADLIGHTS, should be out end of May/early June (depending how fast the distributor processes everything).

The above image is not the actual cover but just a snippet to whet your appetite.

I’m excited about this one. It’s dedicated to the late Gord Downie of The Tragically Hip.

He wrote a lot about life. Told a lot of stories. This collection is meant to honor that legacy and practice.

Maybe somewhere Gord is proud. Or maybe he’d ask me what the heck do I think I’m doing. Har har.

Soon.

In the meantime, if poetry is up your alley, STILL ABOUT A GIRL is available. As well some other titles are listed in the Book and Comic Shop.

Peace.

Caught in Black Headlights: An Update

Posted on October 24, 2019 3:09 pm by A.P. Fuchs

Caught in Black Headlights Notebook

Caught in Black Headlights is a poetry book I’ve been picking at for a long while now. It’s meant as a depository of musings for when a thought or moment consumes me and I have something to say about it.

I am no stranger to the poetry world, having thus far published three books in the genre: The Hand I’ve Been Dealt, Haunted Melodies and Other Dark Poems, and Still About a Girl. These books are out of print, but I’m thinking of bringing them back at some point so my readers have a chance to complete their A.P. Fuchs collection.

Caught in Black Headlights is low-priority on the project list. Again, it’s there for when I have something I need to say and a poem is the only way to say it. Eventually, the notebook will be filled enough for it to merit a published book. Until then, I’ll just be ruminating and writing it down.

Stay tuned.

Canister X Book Review #20: Coke Machine Glow by Gordon Downie

Coke Machine Glow
by Gordon Downie
5 out of 5

Aside from being a major Tragically Hip fan–and aside from being a fan of Gord’s solo album of which this poetry book is named after–this book got to me. You know, deep down heart stuff. It’s about life, it’s about Canada, it’s about observation, it’s about asking questions that may or may not have answers.

That Gord. Man, he knows how to string words together, both poetically and lyrically. This book contains both the lyrics from Coke Machine Glow as well as other poetry. Gord’s way with words is such that the subject matter of each piece is relatable in some way, whether overtly or subtly, depending on what’s going on in your life. He is also the master of putting together what are at first glance unrelated statements, but upon thinking about them you realize they go perfectly together and beautifully compliment each other.

I’ve always been an advocate Gord Downie can put any set of words to music, and the lyric portion of Coke Machine Glow proves the point. Even the stuff that didn’t make the album easily could have, so now I’m curious why he chose what was made into song and what wasn’t.

Coke Machine Glow is an amazing and touching poetry book. It came with the CD way back when I got it a decade and a half ago and has remained one of my favorite books and albums since.

Highly regarded and highly recommended.

Rest in peace, Gordon Downie.
