Bartleby Snopes ran its annual dialogue contest a few months ago, and my story, "The Little Gymnast," finished fourth. You can find it, the winning stories, and a bunch of other fine fiction, in Issue Seven, available here. In older story news, "Too Close to the Sun," available in Kaleidtrope #13, received some kind words with SFRevu and Locus Online Reviews, saying, respectively, "Nicely done."

The first draft of the sequel to Exponential Apocalypse is complete. It's a lot rougher than I would've cared for, it took a day longer than I said it would, and there's still a crapload of work to be done, but it's finished. I have a new story, "Twenty Minutes," up at The Quotable: http://issue4.thequotablelit.com/fiction/twenty-minutes/ I also wrote a blog post for them: http://

OK, internet. Let's do this. Exponential Apocalypse 2 has been sitting half-written on my hard drive for nearly a year. I've got five days to finish that bad boy and not make a liar out of myself. So I'm gonna do it. I expect you to hold me accountable. An impossible task? A fool's errand? Probably. But I'm still in the hospital for a few more days (I'm fine) and bored out of my fucking skull.

Expanding my repertoire to include crime fiction. "Mary" is included in the Grimm Tales anthology, along with some serious genre heavyweights. Grimm Tales is a collection of stories by some of the top names in online crime fiction, all based on classic fairy tales. As novelist Ken Bruen writes in his introduction, "Ever imagined what would have come down the dark pike if The Brothers Grimm were

Good news, everyone! My flash story "Starlight" went up at CommuterLit.com a few days ago. There shouldn't be stars in Bushwick, but there they are. Dim and weak and falling, but there they are. Maria looks down the avenue, at a dozen neighbours on a dozen tar-paper rooftops; a dozen sisters and brothers, broken down and staring straight up. Read the whole story here.

I'm at work and bored, so here's my understanding of the history of Thanksgiving: Once upon a time, there were these religious people in England who were too religious for all the other religious people in England so they were all like "Forsooth you!" and booked it for America. Only it wasn't America back then, it was just some giant piece of dirt, inhabited by a bunch of people we now call

Hey, look, a story about a turkey! The day before Thanksgiving! It's almost like this was planned or something. “Test subject TMO-3,” he panted. “He’s loose.” “Loose?” “And pissed off.” “He’s just a turkey.” “Haven’t you been reading the updates?” Read the whole thing here, as part of the Jersey Devil Press Holiday Half-Issue.

In addition to Screw the Universe being released in paperback, I also had two new stories published this week. Hooray! First is "Cereal Killer," a featured story over at Speech Bubble: Clark returned the shovel — now covered in blood and grease-paint — to his shoulder. The mime fell to the ground in a heap. He was pretending to be a corpse. The resemblance was uncanny. “Well,” said Clark,

Yo. As you can probably tell from the fancy graphic below, the Screw the Universe paperback is now available to order from Amazon. So you should probably do that. Especially if you like your short story collections written by me and Stephen Schwegler, your humor filthy, and your books made of flammable materials.

I am still writing. I have a few stories that should be published in the next few months and one that may or may not ever get published. It was accepted in March of this year and I haven't heard from the publisher since. I followed up... and still heard nothing. I'm guessing they're either really bad at this or they changed their mind and don't want to tell me. I don't know. Speaking of changing

Updated the site to give Exponential Apocalypse and Screw the Universe their own pages. It seemed like the thing to do. There's links to reviews, places to purchase said books, and excerpts from both. That's right, you can now read the first chapter of Screw the Universe online! I should probably tell Steve.

You've got a lot of reading to do, so I'm going to keep this brief: There's a new review of Exponential Apocalypse at The Hat Rack. And a new Exponential Apocalypse prequel story entitled "Famous Last Words." So there you go.

Have a new story up at the magnificent Monkeybicyle, entitled "Milk, Eggs, Bread." I grab a bag of spinach and throw it violently into the cart. I shouldn’t, spinach is a delicate green, and, anyway, it’s not the spinach’s fault. But I’m thinking of our argument again and you are not here. You are at home, grading papers and watching The Bachelor, grumbling about how I had the gall to politely

I received the above fortune the other week and I think it’s fair to say it’s changed my life.Now, I’m overly familiar with Douglas Adams’ The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and the origin of the phrase “Don’t panic.” In fact, my first reaction to said fortune was That’s awesome! and not That’s some really good advice.But, that’s the thing.

Because the writing at Short, Fast and Deadly wasn't concise enough already, editor Joseph Quintela put out a call for one word sentences. The end result? A lot of very, very, VERY short fiction. My contribution, June 1995, is a recounting of my first date in about as much detail as I'd care to share. Make sure to read the whole issue. Personally, my favorites are Chris Bola's "24 Hour Bug" and

My short story "The Astrophysicist" is up at Thieves Jargon. As editor Dan Scannell says, "Physics and karma and ramifications, all in one giant paragraph." There is also a new review of Exponential Apocalypse over at the Dazed Rambling blog. The reviewer kind of hated it, but still really liked it, so you can make of that what you will. He did really dig the dialogue though, so that's a plus.

To everyone who lives within, let's say, flying distance of New York City, you really need to get your asses to The Book of Mormon. It was by far the funniest musical I've ever seen and, arguably, the best. Written by Trey Parker and Matt Stone, of South Park fame, and Robert Lopez, the guy behind Avenue Q, The Book of Mormon is an astoundingly brilliant play. It basically sends up religion

So remember "Ballpoint and Boredom" from back in January? I wrote a little something about how that came about for Rose & Thorn's blog. Like a lot of writers, a large number of my stories are based on real life. Unlike a lot of writers, real life sometimes entails the voice of a grizzled old man telling me what I should be doing myself. “Ballpoint & Boredom” was based on a real job, a real girl

I've got a new story up at amphibi.us, titled "This Side Up." Click here to read it. It's fiction, but it's based on some true terrible people. Also, you should check out Smashwords sometime this week. Exponential Apocalypse is now listed there in every digital format known to man. And, for this week only, you can download it free with coupon code RE100.

The story was originally written for a Writers' Bloc contest, back when they still existed.

As today is, apparently, Groundhog’s Day, I thought I’d write a little something to commemorate the holiday: Once upon a time there was a groundhog. He woke up, bright and early, scurried his way outside of his tree trunk, poked his head around and was startled to see his own shadow. He turned to run back inside, waving his furry little ass in the air, but was immediately beaten to death with a

On Friday, I saw a preview of Spider-man: Turn off the Dark on Broadway. This was the 4th show overall, and it looks like they finally got the technical glitches worked out. Sadly, however, the show is still a clusterfuck of a musical. It's so bad though, that it was actually incredibly entertaining. It was the Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus of Broadway shows. Guess it's fitting that SyFy is

And here it is, as promised. "Santa Martina," a horror-y kind of Western, up now at Schlock Magazine. The artwork they teamed it with is pretty awesome too.

It's been a little while, but I've got two new shorts up around the internet. First is "Skyline," at amphibi.us. Ten sentences of revisionist personal history. And up at A Word With You Press is "The Art of War," a short resurrected from my creative nonfiction class at Montclair State. Name's have been changed to protect the innocent. The rest of the names are accurate, though. "The Art of

"Invisible Kitchens" is now an award-winning story. A Word With You Press chose it as the winner of it's Craigslist Chronicles contest. First prize was cash and a picture of a trophy. Sweet. Also, there was this: Some dude in England (Europe?) reviewed EA on YouTube. He implies it might even be better than Catcher in the Rye. I can't argue with him.

New short story up at Curbside Splendor, about a prostitute and a crisis of faith. You can read it here. Somehow, it's more family friendly than Exponential Apocalypse.

Bananafish recently began a series of Editor Editions: short fiction written by magazine editors in the style of their particular magazine.  I don't think it's too much to call it an ingenious alternative to an editor interview. They invited me to take part and I jumped at the chance.  You can find my short, "Last Minute," here. It's actually one of my favorite things I've written.

Got a short piece up over at the lovely A Word With You Press about apartment hunting via Craigslist... and all that it entails. This is one of those gray area fiction pieces, where it's based on fact, but just enough is changed to make it a lie.

There's an interview with me over at The Word Zombie. It is, quite possibly, the greatest interview ever. Things are discussed, including zombies, a possible sequel to Exponential Apocalypse, and why the Ewoks are a superior fighting force.

Looks like I got the JDP site back up just in time. There's an interview with me and Monica -- yes, Monica! -- up at the Literary Lollipop. Click here to read it. I still think it would have been fun to let Monica handle this one on her own, but it's OK. If I have to talk about myself, so be it.

There's a review of Exponential Apocalypse up over at The Word Zombie. He says: Eirik Gumeny writes with a sharp sarcasm and wit that I love. The entire book is absurd to the point of being profound. And if you think books are losing the power to affect people's lives, well, you are very wrong: The thing is – it was FUNNY. I mean,

Man, when it rains it pours. The 2010 Jersey Devil Press Anthology was just reviewed by the wonder Lydia of the Literary Lollipop. She had this to say: "I’ve got two words for you. Absolutely hilarious." Also, this: "The caliber of social commentary it presents is out-of-this-world authentic. Anti-capitalism, anti-establishment, and anti-consumerist ideas burst off the page with unnerving but

The first review of the 2010 Jersey Devil Press Anthology is up at Fandomania, and it's a good one. "The book collects 20 stories assembled from the best of the Jersey Devil Press website’s offerings from the year. While some of them are a bit more grounded than others, the majority of the stories drop the reader into the middle of a crazy collision of character moments, pop culture, profanity,

Finished Dead Rising 2: Case Zero about an hour ago. For five bucks, it wasn't bad. However, it convinced me not to buy Dead Rising 2 later this month, and also reminded me why it took over a year to finish the first one. For one thing, I'm just not good at this game. It's only, like, three hours of gameplay -- well, maybe, I ignored a lot of side quests -- but it took me two days. I had to

With a title like Jersey Devil Press, I'm sure it's no surprise that we're the kind of people who like to keep up-to-date on a variety of myths and legends. Well, OK, I do, anyway. I think Monica just humors me. In any event, I was kinda psyched to hear about the following: Monsters of New Jersey, by Loren Coleman and Bruce G. Hallenbeck, will be released on September 1 by Stackpole Books.

He's also discovered my hidden lust for tacos. Third: Today's Overcompensating, a comic I have nothing to do with. I just thought the last panel was hysterical AND accurate.

New story up at Short, Fast & Deadly. You can read it, all 353 characters of it, here. Written about an ex-girlfriend that couldn't get the "ex" added fast enough. I started the piece thinking it would be a lot longer, but it turns out there wasn't much more to say.

I was a huge fan of the Savage Dragon, back in my comic book collecting days.  But then I graduated from college, became poor, and couldn’t afford to collect comics anymore.  It was a dark time, but I persevered.More than just the Savage Dragon, though, I was a fan of Erik Larsen, the creator/writer/artist for the comic.  He always seemed like a happy guy, thrilled and somewhat baffled that he

There is apparently a book called Queen Victoria, Demon Hunter. I have not read it, but, per the review on Fandomania, their version of Queen Victoria sounds a lot like my Exponential Apocalypse version of Queen Victoria: In her early life, it doesn’t surprise me that she was a hard charger and a go-getter, not willing to sit on the sidelines and be protected. I liked that she wanted to take

The 2010 Jersey Devil Press Anthology is now available, from the JDP store directly, from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or from any other store of your choosing (ISBN 978-0-9846127-0-3). Also available in .epub, .pdf, and Kindle varieties. I've got a story in it, plus I edited the crap out of it, so I kindly suggest you buy two copies out of respect for all the sleepless nights I put in. Thanks.

You know what's stupid? Valet parking. Now, valets themselves shouldn't take this personally. They get paid, get tipped, and don't have to do anything harder than park a car. As a job, it's probably pretty lucrative and, depending on if the owner of the car is looking, fun. As an institution, though... Are we that dumb? Or just that lazy? I don't know if valet parking's meant to be more

My flash piece "Storybook Romance" is up at amphibi.us. It's a reprint, but since the original mag tanked after, like, six months, I don't think it should even count.

Issue Nine is now available, boys and girls. There's some good stuff in there. Trust me.

To Whom It May Concern: While I appreciate your offer to have me pay you to publish my manuscript – the one you’ve never read and are only aware of because you’re trolling new Library of Congress registrations with little to no regard for the content itself – I’m going to have to politely decline, for the following three reasons: 1. My manuscript has already been published. It is, in fact,

As mentioned, I had another story go up this week. Specifically, Oyster Point is now available at Beat to a Pulp. It's about pirates. It was fun to write AND historically accurate. At least according to the internet. Either way, the story was so popular that it broke Beat to a Pulp's site! OK, I don't actually have proof of that, but then I doubt you have proof otherwise. Let's just call

So, a couple things. First and foremost, Genghis Khan Versus a Velociraptor went off without a hitch. The plays seemed to go over well, we didn't go completely broke, and one of my professors from Montclair State showed up, even though I hadn't talked to him in years. So that was awesome. Pictures and scripts are available here, should that be something you're interested in. Also had two

New story up at the lovely Rose & Thorn Journal, entitled "The Arsonist & the Thief of Hearts." Find it here. Started as a poem, ended as a flash piece. Or a poetic prose piece. Or whatever you want to call it. I call it great.

"It's nice to remember that Faulkner took to his typewriter 'not for glory and least of all for profit.'" From an article I found on the L.A. Times website, titled "Even Faulkner Had a Day Job." Without getting too into it, the article really kind of settled some conflicting thoughts I've been having lately. Essentially, I've been finding myself getting sucked more and more into the online

Completing the trifecta of things I had published this week is the short "Commute," which can be found in the Harvard Book Store's new microfiction collection Microchondria. It doesn't appear to be listed online, but I'm assuming you can pick up a copy at the bookstore, should you be in the area. There also doesn't appear to be too much in the way of a formal announcement, though I did find

"Skin!, or When Allegories Attack" is up over at Clockwise Cat. Man, even I don't know what I was thinking when I wrote this one. It's a little insane. Many thanks to Alison Ross for deeming it worthy to be one of the final fiction pieces ever to grace the pages of her magazine.

Over at The Murky Fringe they've posted my "Review of Every Pizzeria in New Jersey Actually Worth a Damn." It's an f-word slinging review of some mythical conglomeration of all Jersey pizzerias. If you're from Jersey, I don't care what part, it will probably sound familiar. As reviews are generally supposed to be about actual restaurants and not contain swearing, I thought it would fit in well

Jersey Devil Press, Issue Six, has made its way to the internet. It is composed entirely of the greatest fiction known to man or god. Read it all here. Go. Now.

I haven't been keeping up on all of it -- as there's quite a bit of it -- but apparently the internet is taking a lot of heat for destroying literature. I'm not entirely sure from who -- probably corporate publishers who won't publish anyone who hasn't already been published -- but I've read quite a number of articles in defense of the online fiction community. Here's an excerpt from one of the

Recently, I was interviewed by Timmy Waldron for Word Riot's newest issue. There's some trivia about Exponential Apocalypse, as well as a quick look at the future of Jersey Devil Press, including a little information about our as yet unannounced reading/workshop/shindig. Read it all here.

Newest story, "Blind Corners," is now up at Short, Fast and Deadly. Clocking in at a staggering 420 characters, it is by far the shortest story I've had published. This is actually the second--vastly different--version of the story.  Oddly enough, I'm attributing the change solely to the font choice. "Blind Corners" was first written in Arial, and was basically Theseus complaining that young

A man was juggling kittens. Another, chainsaws. They were on opposite ends of a small grassy square in the middle of a large promenade, walking backward, showing their skills for the eager onlookers, neither aware of the other. With every step back, the crowd gasped. The men smiled, each thinking he had the tourists in his thrall, unable to discern amusement from terror. Step. Gasp. Smile.

Apartment hunting, job hunting, formatting the next issue of JDP, and putting the finishing touches on what's shaping up to be a novelette, all while at work.  My head may just explode.

From the Rumpus' "For the Love of God, People, the Slush Pile Isn't Dead," by Seth Fischer:The real problem is with the maddeningly small scope at which Rosman and many of the people she interviewed look at the creative world. There are hundreds of new sites that thrive on slush piles. There are countless small journals that do so, too. Does nothing count unless it’s Random House or The Paris

"Threadbare" was just published at Bananafish. You can find it here. It was accepted and technically published in the last days of 2009, but since it's their January issue, I think I'm gonna count it as my first for 2010.As far as 2009 was concerned, though, I'm pretty sure my publications went like this:"Fractured Heel," Red Fez, December"114," Thieves Jargon, November"Tabula Rasa," Nefarious

New poem is up at Red Fez! Find it by clicking here.I don't remember writing it, actually, but I remember the broken foot and the female it mentions. I can only assume it was an honest plea to my friend, as filtered by heavy pain medication. I cleaned it up prior to submitting it, but I'm willing to give Vicodin a co-author credit all the same.

Exponential Apocalypse was reviewed by Fandomania! 4 out of 5 stars! Woo!Per Jason Dorough, "This debut novel is utter insanity, and it definitely owes some inspiration to Douglas Adams, albeit with more 'f-bombs' and hookers than I recall seeing in the Hitchhiker’s Guide." I'm either "a genius" or "as mad as [my] brain-addled version of Quetzalcoatl."Find the whole review here!
