Coming September 25th from JDP
We never get tired of that quote about the upcoming release from Jersey Devil Press. But don’t just take Sarah’s word for it, go read a free digital preview featuring the first four stories in Shake Away These Constant Days. Then be sure to pre-order your signed copy of Shake Away These Constant Days. Get it first and be the coolest kid on your block this fall!
You’ve got a lot of reading to do, so we’ll keep this short.
The August Issue collects the winner and first runner-up from JDP’s inaugural novella contest and we couldn’t be happier with the results.
First prize went to “Merdeux” by Jody Giardina, a wonderful sci-fi mash-up of alien invaders, Afghan war vets, and, well, poo. The fact that Jody first had the idea for this story while actually taking a crap in Afghanistan makes it even sweeter all around.
Our runner-up is “Surface Interval” by Nick Kimbro, who’s crafted a neat little horror story that calls to mind the isolation and terror of such cinematic classics as the original Alien or John Carpenter’s The Thing. Don’t read it near the water.
That’s it. Dig in to the double-sized Issue 33 of Jersey Devil Press.
Just a quick note if you’re in Central Jersey today…make sure you stop by Jay and Silent Bob’s Secret Stash between 2 pm and 5 pm. Kevin Smith will be there signing his new book and filming a new episode of AMC’s Comic Book Men. Rumor has it the Stash might also have on hand copies of a free sampler with a few of Jersey Devil Press’ best stories by folks like Graham Tugwell, Hilary Gan, Kimberly Lojewski, y.t. sumner, and more. Be sure to pick one up and tell Kevin we said hi!
(And thanks to Walt and Mike at the Stash for being incredibly cool!)
