If there’s any one thing that we can all agree on – regardless of gender, religion, politics, or sports team affiliation – it’s that having to work for a living is complete bullshit. Whether it’s wasting away in a cubicle or hunting Nazi zombies in the Arctic Ocean, having to do The Man’s bidding just to collect a paycheck is not how we’d choose to live our lives if left to our own devices.

It is with that sentiment in mind that we present to you, through no calculated efforts of our own, Issue Fifteen of Jersey Devil Press.

We begin with “The Carpenter,” by Aaron DiMunno, a heart-breaking story about a boy, his father, and the project he spends all his time on. Then it’s “You Can Take the Boy Out of Jersey,” by Isaac James Baker, a personal and cautionary tale about what happens when parents’ jobs move a Jersey boy to the strange, terrible land of Chicago. Next is Jack Frey’s “Gooseflesh,” the aforementioned zombie-hunting story, and Cliff Young’s post-apocalyptic, bosses-are-always-kinda-tools-even-if-society-has-collapsed epic “Nimrod!” And then it’s not one but two tales of demon-infested workplaces with “Devil in the Details,” by Nicholas Rasche, and “One-Fourth,” by Walter Campbell.

So there you go. Six stories, all making sitting on your ass and eating Cheetos a more compelling option than a life of hard work and toil. Because, let’s face it, if it wasn’t for the whole “starving to death” part, we’d all rather be unemployed.
