It’s summertime in Jersey and we’re all our own worst enemy.

We’ve got an entire issue chock full of stories about people betrayed by self, undermined by their own best efforts, and ultimately destined to fail because of their inherent, incurable flaws.

(Because nothing says, “Summer Fun!” like dangerous psychological projections of self.)

Grab the sunscreen and your anti-psychotics. That giant red ball in the sky wants you dead, unless, of course, it would prefer to drive you mad first.

Waited half an hour after eating? Then dive on into Issue 31 of Jersey Devil Press.

There was another idea, to put together a special issue of some of our favorite writers to give you something to read while waiting in line for The Avengers. – Jersey Devil Press

Spring! When a young person’s fancy turns to thoughts of love and the rest of us…well, we mainly sit around wondering what the hell the cream filling in Cadbury Eggs is really made out of.

And because introspection shouldn’t just be for Easter candy, our new issue has a definite metacognitive vibe as we turn our thematic focus on, well, us. We’ve gathered together five stories about literature, writers, writing, and words, plus, one short tale about art. It’s a veritable feast of creative self-examination.

Also, there’s a seventh story about a woman with a gun in her mouth. (That one’s probably a metaphor for something, but sometimes it’s best not to overanalyze these things.)

Pass the Peeps. Issue 29 has hatched.
