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.

State of the Press

  • 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:

Million Writers Award

It’s officially March now, so let us remind you that our March issue is online and begging to be read.

Speaking of March and things you need to read, it’s storySouth Million Writers Award nomination time. This year, we split up the nominations, each of us picking one story, instead of communally choosing. Don’t know that it made a difference, though. I think these three stories would have been at the top of everyone’s list. In any event, here we go:

Monica’s nomination: “That Was Called Love” by Chloe Caldwell
Steve’s nomination: “The Pragmatist” by Hilary Gan
Eirik’s nomination: “Captain Neptunium and Lady U-boat” by Mike Sweeney

And, as always, individual readers can nominate their own favorites that the editors might have missed. Because three is just too damn small a number.
