I Prefer Extortion – The X Makes It Sound Cool

the world's most flammable novelAre you there, internet? It’s me, Eirik.

I know you’re busy, what with your terabytes of donkey porn and bad-mouthing one another anonymously and everything, but I have a favor to ask: I need your money.

$25 gets you a paperback of Love Me — early, before the common folk can lay their hands on it — plus an e-book of Screw the Universe by Stephen Schwegler and myself. We’ll probably throw in some magnets, too, because, hey, why not?

Now, I know some of you have your own books you’re raising money for *cough*Dick Cheney Saves Paris*cough* but we’re flexible. If you can’t donate $25, donate $10 or $4 or a quarter. Every little bit counts. Every five bucks is one more review copy, every forty cents is most of a stamp. And every donation, regardless of amount, gets a free e-book of Screw the Universe.

Ultimately, though, this is bigger than just Love Me, or me or Steve, or possibly even Danger, this is about Jersey Devil Press as a whole. Quite frankly, we can’t afford to produce another anthology right now — or another novel or short story collection — and I know a lot of you want us to. We want to, too. But unless you buy Danger’s book, or our other books, or just toss us a couple bucks, it’s not going to happen.

So help us help you help Danger help us help you help our next author. Donate to Jersey Devil Press today.





Ally Malinenko’s Arcade

Our newest Brilliant Disguise story is out in the desert with nothing but a gun and an old man waiting for a train: “Devil’s Arcade,” by the illustrious Ally Malinenko, based on Springsteen’s “Devil’s Arcade.”

But it wasn’t, it was Bobby’s debt, I wanted to scream. Bobby who made the stupid deal in the first place. Bobby who was Jakob’s partner. Bobby who was my brother. Is, my brother.

We’d also like to take a moment to pay our respects to the late Clarence Clemons, fabled saxophonist and the rock of the E Street Band. I know we tend to worship Bruce Springsteen pretty hard around here, but Bruce wouldn’t be Bruce without Clarence. I’ve heard him say it himself at more than one concert.

You’ll be missed, Big Man.

Last Minute

Our newest installment of Exponential Apocalypse’s The First Twenty-Two is up: “Last Minute,” set during the second apocalypse.

There was an asteroid on a direct trajectory with Earth. The impact will shatter the planet, one specialist had said.

The globe’s top scientists convened. They hastily figured out a way to move the Earth, change its orbit. The endeavor wasn’t safe, and it certainly wasn’t foolproof, but it was unanimously decided to be better than nothing.

This was originally written for the late, great Bananafish Magazine as an Editor Edition. You can read the whole story here.
