Jersey Devil Press

Man, when it rains it pours. The 2010 Jersey Devil Press Anthology was just reviewed by the wonder Lydia of the Literary Lollipop. She had this to say:

“I’ve got two words for you. Absolutely hilarious.”

Also, this:

“The caliber of social commentary it presents is out-of-this-world authentic. Anti-capitalism, anti-establishment, and anti-consumerist ideas burst off the page with unnerving but comedic accuracy. Each selection plays with genre, rebels against literary trends, and is not afraid to be terrifyingly honest about life’s emotional and social hierarchies.”

There’s a bunch more, and it’s all great. She seemed especially taken by the pieces from Daniel McDermott, Gavin Broom, Bruce J. Berger, and Jonathan Plombon. You can see what she has to say about them, and the anthology as a whole, by checking out the whole review here.

After a couple of weeks of dicking around behind the scenes, it’s our pleasure to formally announce the 2010 Jersey Devil Press Anthology!

The 2010 Anthology showcases the best of what we’ve published so far, as well as six — count ‘em, six! — new stories, all of which epitomize what we here at Jersey Devil Press are about. Stories rife with Jersey attitude, dark humor, and zombies, and werebears, and unicorns, oh my! It’s a veritable bacchanal of genre-straddling, clown-fearing, taco-hunting, world-ending prose!

The 2010 Anthology is set for release on Tuesday, July 27th, and will be available in paperback and a variety of digital editions.
