I haven’t enjoyed doing a review so much in years. If you’re tired of the stuffy literature coming from the big guys, take a break and have a few ho ho’s with Jersey Devil Press. Bizarro at its best.
If JDP had an arm, it would seriously consider tattooing that onto it. Maybe even it’s face. Read the whole review at NewPages by clicking here.
I know we’ve been busy hyping the crap out of Danger_Slater’s Love Me (available now!) but that doesn’t mean we’ve forgotten about our bread and butter. Or, you know, our monthly issue, if you’re not on a strict 50s’ movie prison diet.
You can read the online version here or download the .pdf here. And you should. It’s pure reading bliss.
We’ve got four new stories, including the haunting “Exposure,” by Claire Joanne Huxham, the allegorical “The Toad and the Butterfly,” by RCJ Graves, the transformational “Pentecostal,” by Lauren J. Barnhart, and the extra-strength, long-lasting “CPA of the Sith,” by Mike Sweeney.
It’s a shorter issue than most, but that’s because we didn’t need five stories this month. The above stories are so God damned good that a fifth story would’ve made your head explode from sheer joy. And we didn’t want that. Head explosions are messy.
Hi. Welcome to Tuesday, August 16, 2011. Love Me, by Danger_Slater, has been out for a week now, so I think it’s safe to assume you’ve bought it, read it, and loved it. Right? Right. Good.
“But, uh, now what?” you’re probably asking.
Well, now you get other people to buy it, read it, and love it for their own damn selves. Danger has authorized the use of deadly force to accomplish this, but we’ve got a couple other options you might want to try first.
First, you should leave reviews of Love Me at your online retailer of choice. Or Goodreads. Or on your blog. Or scrawled above a urinal. Get the word out about the book is what we’re saying. Just make sure they’re good words.
Here is a handy flyer to help you in your goals. Print it out and stick it places. Colleges, bookstores, coffee houses. If you own a small plane, rain it down on unsuspecting pedestrians. It’ll be awesome.
Second, enter the giveaway for a free copy of Love Me on Goodreads.
I’m not actually certain how giving shit away for free helps sell more copies, but you should enter anyway. And then tell your friends. Because everyone can afford free.
