I recently obtained Pulp Adventures<\/a><\/em> #45 from Bold Venture Press<\/a>, dated Summer 2024. We get science fiction, detective, crime, and horror, along with reviews and non-fiction this time.<\/p>\n

\"Pulp<\/a>As always, we get a selection of new and classic pulp stories, a total of 10, along with some non-fiction works. We are down to about 140 pages this time, but still a good collection of works.<\/p>\n

The cover for #45 is an original piece, done with AI, as is the back cover. It ties to the featured story “Nightmare on Ice” by British author John S. Glasby<\/a><\/strong>, which is a Lovecraftian<\/a> story set in the Arctic, from Supernatural Stories<\/em> in 1963. Along with the story is an article by his son, going over his father’s writing career. Many of his works are Lovecraftian, and many have been reprinted in recent years. I have ordered one of his trilogies and look forward to that and will probably get the 2 collections from Ramble House and the 2 from Wildside Press.<\/p>\n

Other classic pulp stories include another from E.C. Tubb<\/a><\/strong>, “Episode,” from Nebula Science Fiction<\/em> in 1965. Explorers to Mars find that things don’t quite go the way they hoped. From other British authors, we get Shelley Smith<\/a><\/strong>‘s “I\u2019ll Wait for You,” a strange tale dealing with a missing boy and a strange picture. Ernest Dudley<\/a><\/strong>‘s “Mr. Walker Sees the Show,” a mystery tale set in a theater.<\/p>\n

For New Pulp<\/a>, we get several pieces. From Jack Halliday<\/a><\/strong> we get “Halo in Gold,” one of his Howard Miller<\/strong> capers, where Miller helps a little old lady find something. “Maneater” by Terry Wijesuriya<\/a><\/strong> is a story about a jungle-cat hunt in Ceylon. We get a weird tale set at a Renaissance fair in “The Dragon Lady and I” by Teel James Glenn<\/a><\/strong>. “He Died Smiling” from Michael A. Wexler<\/a><\/strong> is a crime tale and a sequel to his story from Pulp Adventures<\/em> #36. In Don E. Smith Jr.<\/a><\/strong>‘s “The Intervention of Professor Omega,” we get Professor Omega<\/strong>, the son of early French sf character Doctor Omega<\/a><\/strong> (who I have posted on here), who helps the Star Marshall Guide in the far future. And C. Dan Castro<\/a><\/strong> gives us “The Night Is More Richly Colored Than The Day.”<\/p>\n

James Reasoner<\/a><\/strong> again provides several reviews.<\/p>\n

It’s another good issue. The mix of genres and story types means there is always something to enjoy, and hopefully spur you to look further into some of these authors.<\/p>\n

I look forward to the next one, which is scheduled to come out in November with a salute to King Kong<\/strong>!\u00a0 Should be great.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
