We&#8217;ll focus on all things pulp, but from a fan&#8217;s perspective (the fan being <a title=\"Introducing a Pulp Super-Fan\" href=\"https:\/\/thepulp.net\/pulpsuperfan\/2013\/03\/05\/introducing-a-pulp-super-fan\/\">me<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>The main focus will be &#8220;classic pulp&#8221; from pulp magazines. We will also cover: pulp reprints, New Pulp, pulp magazines&#8217; influence on culture, pulp fictioneers, etc. We will touch upon fiction that came before pulp and influenced it (dime novels and story papers). We will touch on &#8220;foreign pulp,&#8221; from Europe and the like (yeah, pulp isn&#8217;t just American). We will talk about pulp fanzines. We may talk about movies, TV, and comics but<em>\u00a0only<\/em> if they are clearly pulp influenced. Modern fiction (beyond the clear New Pulp movement) will <em>only<\/em> be covered if I feel there is a pulp influence (I actually find that some &#8220;techno\u00a0thrillers&#8221; are a kind of new pulp). There will be a lot of reviews, <em>but<\/em> I will speak of my views of pulp.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->When it comes to pulp, there are certain areas I am most interested in. My first pulp reading was in classic science fiction, then I got into pulp heroes (Doc, Shadow, et al), later into Lovecraftian fiction (Cthulhu mythos and all) and occult detectives (like Carnacki, characters by <a href=\"https:\/\/thepulp.net\/PulpWiki\/WellmanManlyWade\">Manly Wade Wellman<\/a>, etc.), and today more techno thrillers and New Pulp. When it comes to detective work, I more prefer Sherlock Holmes and similar characters to hardboiled detectives or the like. \u00a0And I also read non-fiction works about pulps. So all this will come into the mix.<\/p>\n<p>This blog will steer clear of non-pulp topics, particularly politics or personal material. \u00a0I have more interests then pulp, but only that area will be covered here.<\/p>\n<p>I hope you all enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to the new Pulp Super-Fan blog.
