\"'Pulp<\/a>Bold Venture Press<\/a> is back with another new issue of Pulp Adventures<\/em>, #26 for the Summer of 2017.\u00a0 And we get another Norman Saunders<\/strong> cover.\u00a0 Was wondering if he’s return.<\/p>\n

As always, a mix of old and new pulp in a wide range of genres:\u00a0 mystery, western, horror, adventure, pulp hero and more.\u00a0 Some stories are almost a 100 years old!!<\/p>\n

From classic pulp we get the following:<\/p>\n

“The Doting Burglar” by Ben Hecht is a fairly interesting tale that appeared way back in 1917 in All Story Weekly<\/em>.\u00a0 The author, whom we learn more from the blurb is as interesting.\u00a0 He was a journalist and writer from the 1920s until he passed in 1964.\u00a0 Like many pulp writers he also wrote plays and film scripts, and even lyrics.\u00a0 He got 6 Academy Award nominations.<\/p>\n

“Murder Is Fascinating” by Benton Brader stars his detective character Need Creegan, and appeared in the back of a Phantom Detective<\/em> pulp in 1946.\u00a0 The author contributed many stories in the back of Thrilling pulp magazines, including several serialized characters.\u00a0 But am not certain if Need Creegan appeared more then once.<\/p>\n

Western tale “Birthday Bullets” by Richard Brister comes from Double-Action Western<\/em>, published by Columbia, one of the lesser pulp publishers.\u00a0 Brister was apparently fairly prolific, putting out about 300 stories in the 40s and 50s.<\/p>\n

From A. Merrit<\/strong>, better known as the author of such works as The Moon Pool<\/em>, whom I’ve posted on before, we get his short story “The People of the Pit” which appeared in All-Story Weekly<\/em> in 1918.<\/p>\n

From H.P. Lovecraft<\/strong> we get a couple of short works.\u00a0 First a short (one page) poem, “Despair”, from 1918.\u00a0 And then the very short story “The Terrible Old Man” from 1921.\u00a0 This story is notable as the first use of the fictitious city of Kingsport.<\/p>\n

For New Pulp we first kick off with a new Brother Bones<\/strong> story from Ron Fortier<\/strong>:\u00a0 “Then and Now”.\u00a0 Brother Bones, the Undead Avenger, has appeared in a trio of books from Airship 27 and several short stories with other publishers.\u00a0 And hopefully soon in a new movie!<\/p>\n

Michael Kurland<\/strong> provides a new story with Professor Moriarty<\/strong>:\u00a0“The Picture of Oscar Wilde”.\u00a0 Kurland has written several novels and short stories staring the Professor, collected in 3 volumes so far.\u00a0 At some point I hope to review these.<\/p>\n

“Black Mastiff” by Stanley C. Sargent takes inspiration from works of Lovecraft and his circle.\u00a0 The author has published other similar works.<\/p>\n

“Lillian” by John E. Petty is another tale that makes use of various Lovecraftian elements.\u00a0 The author is a lecturer in film and wrote the intros to Bold Venture’s Zorro<\/strong> collections.<\/p>\n

“Monster in the Maze” by Adam Beau McFarland is a strange little short story, that mixes in pirates and Greek legends.\u00a0 To say more will ruin it.<\/p>\n

As always a wide selection of stories.\u00a0 You might not like everything in every issue, but there should be something you’ll like.\u00a0 This one has several I liked.\u00a0 And I think the sidebars on the authors is important.\u00a0 It seems these, especially for the original pulp stories, are getting better with this issue and hope this continues.\u00a0 I think this is important to help people understand the wide range of genres and authors out there.<\/p>\n

I look forward to the next issues as always.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
