Man does not live by online journals alone. No, sometimes man wants a longer story, fiction he can really sink his teeth into. And sometimes man even wants a real, physical book, something with heft, for killing spiders and starting small fires. And so, because we do not want to disappoint our fellow human beings, Jersey Devil Press also releases the occasional novel or short story collection.

As such, we’re proud to announce our lineup for 2012: Exponential Apocalypse: Dead Presidents by Eirik Gumeny (out in July) and an untitled collection of short stories by Ryan Werner (out this fall). There is little doubt that they will be among the greatest books ever written.

But, frankly, the writing was the easy part. We’d like to do more. So we’ve created a Kickstarter campaign to help us accomplish that. Our modest funding goal covers book design, printing, and advertising the ever-loving shit out of the above-mentioned titles. Anything over the goal goes towards releasing an additional anthology this winter. And if we really go over the goal, we may even be able to pay the authors.

Help us out, won’t you? The little plastic dinosaurs will thank you.
