Shake Away These Constant Days
Coming in September from Jersey Devil Press
We finally have cover art for Shake Away These Constant Days, and she’s a beauty. Check it out then read what Sarah Rose Etter, author of the fabulous Tongue Party, has to say about Ryan Werner’s debut collection:
“Each of the stories in Ryan Werner’s Shake Away These Constant Days ends with a sentence that’s a fist to the ribs. The collection builds into repeated shots to the soft part of your guts, a beautiful pummeling. By the end of Shake Away These Constant Days, you won’t even notice the bruises, the missing teeth, the pain. You’ll only want to go another round.”
We couldn’t be happier with the way this one’s shaping up and are really excited for the advanced reactions we’ve gotten so far. We’ll have pre-order info up shortly, with the official release next month. In the meantime, keep up with all of Ryan’s doings on his blog and make sure you follow him on Twitter. (Hell, follow us too, while you’re at it.)
Meanwhile, JDP’s other new release, Exponential Apocalypse: Dead Presidents, continues to receive rave reviews:
“If The Avengers was written by Terry Pratchett and directed by Kevin Smith, you might end up in the same dimension as Exponential Apocalypse: Dead Presidents.” — Radiant Attack
“This book is a bucketful of crazy and I enjoyed every minute.” — WiLove Books
And as if that’s not enough…Donuts!
Eirik Gumeny will be holding his official launch party for EA:DP at Mon Mothma’s favorite bakery, Rebel Donut. If you’re in Albuquerque this Saturday be sure to stop by. Eirik will be reading excepts and signing books. Plus, donuts!
Books! They’re Like the Internet in 3-D!
Because everything's better in 3-D.
Books! You can turn the pages!
Books! They’re like the Internet but with fixed starting and ending points. And a third dimension!
Books! It’s what all the cool kids will be stuffing in their backpacks this fall!
And we’ve got ‘em! Coming July 31st, it’s the most anticipated sequel this summer not involving the word “Rises.” Eirik Gumeny’s original Exponential Apocalypse was the defining text for a certain sub-segment of one element of part of a generation and now he’s done it again. Exponential Apocalypse: Dead Presidents drops at the end of the month but you can read a free preview online now.
But wait…we’ve got more amazing printed material. The New Yorker says of Ryan Werner…well, The New Yorker has never said anything about Ryan Werner but that’s only because The New Yorker kinda sucks ass. (Well, maybe the cartoons. But the incessant capitalization of “The” every time you say the title? Seriously?)
Anyway, we’re here to tell you Ryan’s a one-man inferno of awesomeness and (seriously) one of the most important flash fiction writers out there today. Which is why we’re so damn excited to be publishing his first collection this September. Check out “Wide Right Game” in the current issue of JDP for a taste of what’s in store from Shake Away These Constant Days. Then head over to his blog and tell him how excited you are for his book.
Because books rock. In 3-D! With covers that close and open!
