The Legend of the Jersey Devil<\/strong>, Eirik Gumeny<\/a>
\n“The Pine Barrens, for those who aren\u2019t in the know, is a forest. A dark, desolate, scary forest, where the trees grow out of sand instead of dirt and actually need to be set on fire to reproduce.”<\/p>\n

Jersey Fresh<\/strong>, Kate Delany<\/a>
\n“So we swing by the diner, which couldn\u2019t be more like coming home, you say.”<\/p>\n

One Hundred Seconds of Solitude<\/strong>, Corey Mesler<\/a>
\n“Many years later, as he faced the firing squad, Jimmy ‘Crack’ Corn was to remember that distant afternoon when his father took him to discover magic realism.”<\/p>\n

Decisions<\/strong>, Violet Schwegler<\/a>
\n“He looks to his left and sees a plate of toast, covered in butter. On his right, a plate of glazed doughnuts, glistening in the sunlight. Across from him sits a man with a gun.”<\/p>\n

Manual Criticism<\/strong>, Noel Sloboda<\/a>
\n“But the spectacles he produced went far beyond the work of other masters.
\nIn the hands of Francis, coyotes Cajun waltzed and raccoons Muay Thai kick-boxed.”<\/p>\n

Letters to Wolfhaus<\/strong>, Christopher Woods<\/a>
\n“As much as my wife and I enjoyed our annual stay this year,
\nwe couldn\u2019t help noticing that your pillows seemed unusually deflated.”<\/p>\n

Dog Days<\/strong>, Robert Levin<\/a>
\n“And in the following months (and along with a discombobulated Annie’s exclamation: ‘My God, she’s just a puppy!’ echoing in my head) I was seeing similar expressions everywhere.”<\/p>\n

The Werebear Who Wished to Come in from the Rain<\/strong>, Mike Sweeney<\/a>
\n“Things that once were are again, things old and unseen. They roam the earth they called their own long before there was a New Jersey or even an America.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
