New Release from Jersey Devil Press

Jersey Devil Press, Issue Twenty-One

This month’s stories are all about facing that destiny, in one way or another. We start with J. David Bell’s “A Chimaera Story With Four Morals,” a tale about a father and son and a march toward the inevitable. Next are two tales about playing with the strange and unfortunate hands Fate dealt: “Literary Ops,” by K. Marvin Bruce, and “The Swell Foop,” by Mindela Ruby. After that, it’s “The Six,” by Ainslie Hogarth, about a massive turd wrenching one man’s life irrevocably. And, finally, we close with “The Stupidest Thing I Ever Heard,” by Kimberly Steele, a story about how maybe destiny isn’t quite so destined after all.

The online version of Issue Twenty-One is here, and the .pdf can be downloaded here. Read it like you don’t have a choice.

New Release from In Between Altered States

In Between Altered States, Episode 13

This time around in Episode (lucky) 13 we have a variety of verbal cacophony for you.  As always these are loosely based themes that we run with to try and string together 8 stories in a dream like fashion.  Yes, sometimes they are frightening dreams, sometimes funny.  We are very thrilled to present 7 new writers to IBAS and one good friend who has been lending work from the beginning.  Please try and read all 8 stories in a row (they are small…they don’t take long) and then jump back and read your favorites again some other time.  We are pleased to feature work from these fab authors:  Josh Olsen, Jack Bristow, Eric Suhem, Robert Vaughan, Jennifer Hollie Bowles, Levi Gribbon, Zack Kopp, and KC Callagy.

This is a very special issue for me because it's Friday the 13th. I've been preparing by scaring myself all week, driving down dark roads, calling out ghosts, pretending that I love you. Because of this I've been staying up late at night, looking at the stars, stealing their stories, and wondering how in the hell I'm going to be able to translate them. I think maybe I'll just post them here and you can read them for yourself. Here are 13 stories written by 13 stars.  --Claudia Lamar, May 2011
