Word Riot/The Sligo Dead/St. Pat's Edition

Bam. Email annoucement today clocked me for a loop. The literary magazine Word Riot is kicking the publishing game in the teeth with a short anthology of writers bucking the Jersey stereotypes. Although the "Exit" joke in the title is a bit droll, it looks like a fine collection. I'm proud to have had my fiction "The Sligo Dead" published at Word Riot. I'll be looking for this.
