\"'PulpPulp Adventures<\/em> #19 (Fall 2015) is the fifth issue of the new version from Bold Venture Press<\/a>. We get a collection of pulp fiction, and some new stuff, all under a Norman Saunders<\/strong> crime cover. As I’ve noted in reviews of previous issues, we don’t have any similar series of pulp reprints out there now, and this is a great series.<\/p>\n

The big selling point of this issue is a Sax Rohmer<\/strong> thriller. Not one of his Fu Manchu<\/strong> stories, but a similar work, “The Daughter of Huang Chow.” This one stars Inspector “Red” Kerry<\/strong>, and is part of a short series of crime stories set in Chinatown, based on a real person! Rohmer’s Red Kerry series has two novels (Dope<\/em> and Yellow Shadows<\/em>), and a couple of short stories. In this one, while investigating murder and opium smuggling, Kerry comes across a woman whose feminine charms render him powerless to resist!<\/p>\n

We also get a mixture of different pulp reprints. A couple are used to launch some new collections of stories from Bold Venture. Many overlook the wide range of genres that ran in the pulps, so this issue we get a firefighter story, “A Pinch of Powder” by Karl Detzer<\/strong> (from Short Stories<\/em>) and a railroad story by Dave Martin<\/strong> (that appeared in Railroad Story<\/em> magazine). We get a much longer detective story, “Road Show,” about a show business detective by Roger Torrey<\/strong> (from Private Detective Stories<\/em>).<\/p>\n

The one new piece is another Splash Shanahan<\/strong> story by Richard A. Lupoff<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

And finally we get an interesting pairing. We get a pulp story by Malcolm Wheeler-Nicholson<\/strong>: “Treason for Glory,” from War Stories<\/em>, about an American officer unmasking a German spy in WWI. And with it a non-fiction article, “Searching for a Hero: Malcolm Wheeler-Nicholson” by Nicky Wheeler-Nicholson<\/strong>. In this article, we get a great introduction to this overlooked pulp author, later comic book publisher, and how he lived the adventures he wrote.<\/p>\n

Another great issue, and the next one is already out. Look forward to getting and reviewing it soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
