The 2010 Jersey Devil Press Anthology A collection of twenty short stories, rife with Jersey attitude, dark humor, and zombies and werebears and unicorns, oh my Featuring fiction by Mike Sweeney, yt sumner, M.R. Lang, Gavin Broom, and more, the 2010 Jersey Devil Press Anthology is without a doubt the single greatest collection of stories written by multiple authors released by Jersey Devil Press this summer. It's a veritable bacchanal of genre-straddling, clown-fearing, taco-hunting, world-ending prose Did I mention monkeys? 'Cause there's monkeys, too. Everyone loves monkeys. You'd be a...

Thor, former Norse God of Thunder, has returned to his day job at the Secaucus Holiday Inn, surlier than ever. His Google alert for "Ragnarok" is bringing in fewer and fewer results, and he's beginning to think that the Twilight of the Gods might never come to free him from the hellish nightmare that is minimum-wage customer service.
