SATCD: Year One
Apparently inspired by the billions we’ve made in the indie lit game, Ryan also started his own micropress in 2013, Passenger Side Books. He’s published three chap books so far: Murmuration, a collection of five interrelated stories that we’re guessing includes this; Whatever Doesn’t Drown Will Always Rise by Justin Daugherty; and Infinity’s Jukebox by Matthew Burnside, who just happened to pen this little nugget of wonderful for us last year.
And since I seem to be shamelessly plugging work by writers I like, I’d also remind everyone that Graham Tugwell’s collectionette, Everything Is Always Wrong, is well worth picking up. Also, our founding editor, Eirik Gumeny, has a new chap book out from Red Bird that you should definitely check out and while you’re at it grab a copy of Ally Malinenko’s Lizzy Speare and the Cursed Tomb if you’re looking for a great YA fix.

So here it is, the September 2013 Issue, my penultimate as editor.
Which is interesting, because if there’s a theme to this month’s issue it is decidedly not “next to last,” but rather “firsts.”
First time having sex with General Lee? We’ve got that.
First time stealing a statue of Jesus that actually isn’t Jesus? Yes, yes, we have that too.
First time walking around your new sandcastle? Uh-huh.
First time hitch-hiking? You betcha’.
And first time trying to have your first time at Disneyland…of course, we’ve got that. Who else would?
(Also, because we’re JDP and are statutorily required to print a certain number of stories about the apocalypse, we also have a lovely piece of flash about the world ending, which admittedly bucks the whole “firsts” theme.)
And there you have it. Issue 46 is simultaneously a collection of firsts and my penultimate. Enjoy.
