It’s the Halloween Issue, Charlie Brown

“There are three things I have learned never to discuss with people: religion, politics, and the Great Pumpkin.” — Linus Van Pelt

The good news is this special Halloween Issue doesn’t have very much to do with religion or politics; you can probably get your fill of both elsewhere these days. The bad news is the Great Pumpkin doesn’t make an appearance, but we do have plenty of great stories to keep you company while you wait in your favorite (and most sincere) pumpkin patch on Halloween night. We’ve got not one, but two ghost stories, some creepy Gaelic dog people, a really sad Scottish mermaid, one surprisingly sweet (for us) story about first kisses, and a Halloween magic show unlike any other.

No rocks here, folks. The October Issue of Jersey Devil Press is all treats.

SHAKE AWAY THESE CONSTANT DAYS is here

The debut collection from Ryan Werner

“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.”
— Sarah Rose Etter, author of Tongue Party

Ryan Werner’s debut marks the arrival of an important new voice: quirky, world-wise, and as joyfully rambunctious as your favorite punk rock song. Listen up. You’ll be glad you did. — Tom Cooper, author of Phantasmagoria and Barataria
