Most literary magazines? They’d be content for their special Valentine’s Day issue to feature either a story about a guy who can only masturbate to ducks or a piece that ends with someone hugging Godzilla. At JDP, though, we believe you deserve both.

Welcome to Issue 39 in which those two wondrous stories bookend another half-dozen great tales about the strangeness, terror, pain, and occasional triumph of love. We’ve also got a couple breaking up to a John Carpenter movie, a (sort of) love story (sort of) co-written by Nietzsche, a guy obsessed with Gig Young, a very peculiar museum, a cheerleader channeling Pride and Prejudice, and a man and a woman facing a decision at the end of their world.

It’s the February Issue of Jersey Devil Press.

Let it float.

It floats back to you.
