the world's most flammable novelThere’s an interview with Danger_Slater up at Hampton Reviews. You should read it. Read it now.

I’m from a town called Hopatcong in northeast New Jersey. It’s small and hilly and there’s a big lake in the center of it. What I love most about New Jersey is that everybody acts like Snooki and The Situation all the time. Even me. I’m actually fist-pumping right now. Over time, I’ve learned to type quite proficiently with one hand. Now if you don’t mind, I would like to use this public forum to officially proclaim my undying admiration and thanks to MTV and the entire cast of Jersey Shore for so accurately portraying my state to the rest of America. Good job, guys. I’m so fucking proud of all of you.

The full interview is here. And you can buy Danger’s LOVE ME here.

  • Jersey Devil Press is going quarterly for at least the near future. Next online issue will be in December. Current issue is online now. Go read it.
  • Brilliant Disguise and The First Twenty-Two will continue unabated and will have new stories posted in the next few weeks.
  • Submissions will remain open.
  • Speaking of submissions, we’ve added three new readers to the JDP team. It is their fickle, fluid, and fantabulously fair opinions you will now have to sway in order to make it into JDP’s digital pages. So get your bribery beers together — or, more likely, your best stories — and say hello to:
  • If you escape the reader gauntlet, Eirik Gumeny, Stephen Schwegler, and Monica Rodriguez are remaining as editors. For now. Come 2012 there will be some changes. *dun dun duuuun*
  • And, finally, some books by JDP contributors that you should buy:

A Week of LOVE ME

the world's most flammable novelHi. 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.
