Jersey Devil Press #40, cover: Heart of Darkness, by Matt Kish
“The fact that unicorn droppings sparkle iridescent doesn’t make them any more pleasant to shovel than regular old horseshit.”
My story “Spike,” which is all unicorns and rainbows, appears in the latest issue of that most New Jersey of literary journals, Jersey Devil Press. Issue #40 is their urban fantasy and myth issue, and I’m in the good company of Tara Isabella Burton, Zarren Mykhail Kuzma, Chris Lewis Carter, and Rose Williamson.
It is available to read online and as a downloadable PDF to send to your e-reader.
Let me know what you think of Spike. My head movies don’t normally run to urban fantasy, but I enjoy these characters and wouldn’t mind writing more about them if there’s interest. Drop a line in the comments if you’d like to see more.

Congrats on the publication, Thomas! Your site is fantastic, BTW.
Based on what I’m reading with “Rage Cage” Reeves there’s nothing you are not capable of writing.
