Our newest Brilliant Disguise story is here and standing on your lawn with a baseball bat: “The Dark Side of Serendipity,” by Denise Willson, based on Springsteen’s “Secret Garden.”

They’d made love before, Claire and Cameron, numerous times in fact. But this time was different.

Submissions Now Open

All right, let’s do this. Submissions to Jersey Devil Press are now open. You know the rules — and if you don’t, they’re right here — so get writing. Monica, Steve, and I are waiting with bated breath.

Also, and this is kind of important, we are now using Submishmash to handle submissions. It’s free, shiny and it makes our lives easier. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

To get a feel for what we want, check out our newest issue or our archives. We’d like to think you’re already reading JDP, but, if you’re not, lie to us.

P.S. To the handful of you who submitted stories while we were closed — despite our telling you, in bold print, not to — feel free to try again. As much as we’d like to hold a grudge, we deleted the e-mails and we don’t remember your names. At the very least, please update your Duotrope stats. You’re kind of making us look bad.

As always, thank you to everyone who makes their way here, even accidentally. Whether you read us regularly, submit to us occasionally, follow the rules or don’t, we appreciate that of the eight billion web pages available to you, you stuck around for at least a few clicks.

Love Me

In the wake of book announcements from Chloe Caldwell, yt sumner, and Ryan Werner, Jersey Devil Press is proud to add another of our favorites to the list of authors soon to be cluttering your shelves.

None other than Danger_Slater himself will be releasing his novel, Love Me, through Jersey Devil Press later this summer.

the greatest novel ever written by danger_slater

Artwork Subject to Change

 

More details are forthcoming, but the short version is that Love Me is the single greatest novel ever written by Danger_Slater. Love Me is an existential mindfuck of Danger_Slaterian proportions. Love Me is every bit as flammable as its author, and can also be used as toilet paper! Love Me, God damn it! LOVE ME! By Danger_Slater. Coming this summer.
