The 2015 Jersey Devil Press Anthology

Here at Jersey Devil Press, there are three things we look for in a story: strangeness, beauty, and poop jokes. And while this collection is admittedly a little shy on scatological humor, the 18 works collected here are easily the strangest and most beautiful things we’ve ever published.

The 2015 Jersey Devil Press Anthology contains the best work from our last five years, written by some of our favorite authors. We love them in a way we’re not entirely comfortable with.

And we know you’ll feel the same.

Featuring work by Nicola Belte, Jackson Burgess, Christopher DeWan, J.D. Hager, Anna Lea Jancewicz, Liz Kicak, Christopher Lettera, Kimberly Lojewski, Ally Malinenko, Matthew Myers, Ben Nardolilli, Michael Sions, Danger Slater, y.t. sumner, Sloan Thomas, Graham Tugwell, and Yvonne Yu.

Available now. Get a copy at Amazon and Smashwords.

The Return of COMIC BOOK MEN!

Posted on October 12, 2012 by Mike

The Secret Stash in Red Bank, NJ , not far from JDP's underground lair.

Just a quick heads up for something we’re sure you already have circled in red on your calendars: AMC’s Comic Book Men returns for its second season this Sunday night, (along with a little show called The Walking Dead).

For those who somehow don’t know, Comic Book Men is a reality show based in JDP’s favorite, local comic book shop, Jay and Silent Bob’s Secret Stash, right here in Red Bank. The Stash rocks — both as a straight up, all around comic book shop and as a repository of all things Kevin Smith and View Askewish. Walt, Mike, and Ming are just as cool in real life as on TV — seriously, when you can stop in on a Saturday afternoon and have an extended conversation about the Seven Million Dollar Man, you know you’re dealing with professionals.

So, be sure to check out Comic Book Men when it returns on Sunday night and — if you’ve got Netflix — catch up on the awesome first season. In addition to everything else cool about the Stash, they’ve given away 300 copies of a Jersey Devil Press sampler, with great stories by Graham Tugwell, Kimberly Lojewski, Hilary Gan, y.t. sumner, and Mike Sweeney.

Thanks to Mike and Walt for that and good luck to everyone at the Stash in their new season!
