Issue Three, December 2009
What up, people. It’s almost December, and you know what that means… something, I’m sure, depending on the various factors in your life. Good for you. It also means that this, our third issue of Jersey Devil Press, is out. And we would like to dedicate this issue to the greatest and urine-smelling-est metropolis on the planet, New York City.
Why? Because we’ve got a plethora of stories – or, more accurately, six – dealing with various combinations of hospitals, trains, creepy strangers, and the end of the world. And if that doesn’t say New York, I don’t know what does.
Written by our esteemed authors Anne Wagener, M. R. Lang, Eliza Kelley, Victor David Giron, Caru Cadoc, and Gavin Broom, I can hyperbolically guarantee there’s something for everyone.
Also, for what it’s worth, this is the issue where we can finally claim to be an international magazine. Thanks for living in Scotland, Gavin!
As always, links are below and the .pdf is here.

Formula Romance, Caru Cadoc
“At first, when the flurries still dominated the news, reporters had rushed out in heavy gusts to be filmed with backdrops of whirling pink.”
Gnosis Kardia, Eliza Kelley
“She sleeps propped on a pillow, her bed slightly elevated, her eyes closed but not fluttering as they say happens during a dream.”
Time Machine, Anne Wagener
“The stranger wears a black trench coat and an unsettling expression.”
White Hallways, Victor David Giron
“All she could recognize was the shape of a crown. Latin Kings. There was a time when Maria could have deciphered all of the letters.”
The Boy Who Threw Rocks at Trains, Gavin Broom
“It wouldn’t be unusual for him to spend the entire commute staring at his lap or the battery gauge on his iPod or the collection of lunchtime stains on his tie.”
You and Me and the End of the World, M. R. Lang
“It was decided that tonight shall be the party to end all parties. Because, not only is today the last of high school, it is the last day.”
