Jersey Devil Press

*cover art subject to being less blurry

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.

Pre-orders begin next week!

M. R. Lang was kind enough to point us towards yourworldoftext.com.  He even went so far as to set up a page for Jersey Devil Press on the site.  He claims it was easy, but we refuse to believe that. He’s just being modest.

We heartily recommend everyone check it out.  Even if it’s just to goof around for a bit.  Add a six-word story to the list, help out with the never-ending walrus tale we’ve got going on, or just post up some flash of your own.  It’s fun and it’s a cool way to interact with some of the other authors/readers of Jersey Devil Press.  Assuming you’re not already stalking them on Facebook or Twitter, that is.  Which is also kinda fun.

Speaking of, don’t forget to be a fan of JDP on Facebook. Stay up-to-date with all the goings-on and post random shit to our wall for all to comment on. Or, if you’re more Twitter-inclined, follow our editor and various other author-types. A vague sense of personal boundaries is keeping us from linking to them directly, as we forgot to ask permission, but if anyone wants to throw up their screen name in the comments, we won’t stop you.

Together we can be a force for… procrastination and self-promotion, probably.

But then, that’s what the internet was created for.

Ken Brosky from Express Milwaukee gave us a nice little write-up last week. You can find it here.

I personally enjoy the fact that he has no idea how he found us. Fate? Magic? Boredom and the internet? Who cares! Thanks for the kind words, Ken.

And it looks like “Golden Streams of Babylon,” by Andrew Frankel, was pegged as today’s genre story on Fiction Daily. Sweet.

I’m sure someday we’ll stop being so excited and proud about being appreciated. Not, you know, soon, but someday.
