\"'PulpBold Venture Press<\/a> closed out 2017 with Pulp Adventures<\/em> #27 last fall. And we get another Norman Saunders<\/strong> cover.<\/p>\n

As always, there’s a mix of old and new pulp in a wide range of genres: mystery, science fiction, romance, adventure, pulp hero and more. Some stories are a 100 years old!<\/p>\n

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

“Jack Grey, Second Mate” by William Hope Hodgson<\/strong> comes from Adventure<\/em> in 1917, reprinted from The Red Magazine<\/em> in 1913, which I assume is a U.K. magazine. I’ve posted on Hodgson before, and due to his early life on sea he wrote several sea-based stories. This one is about a second mate who must deal with troublesome passengers and quell a mutiny.<\/p>\n

Another reprint from Adventure<\/em> in 1917 is “A Case at Law” by William Dudley Pelley<\/strong>. It’s a somewhat different case of drinking and fighting in the West. Pelley wrote many courtroom dramas.<\/p>\n

Max Brand<\/strong> is best known for his western stories. But that is just one pseudonym of Frederick Faust<\/strong>, best known for creating Dr. Kildare<\/strong>. “Hole-in-the-Wall Barrett” is an unusual short story with a villain, a hero, and a damsel. This comes from Munsey’s Magazine<\/em> in 1919 (this was left out of the issue).<\/p>\n

“Sneak Thief” by Richard Brister<\/strong> appeared in an issue of The Phantom Detective<\/em> in 1946. When a thief becomes a killer, a young man joins the search for him for his own reasons.<\/p>\n

A detective from a small agency is looking for a man in Manhattan. Will he find him in “Thirty Days on the Island” by Raymond J. Brown<\/strong>. This first appeared in Argosy<\/em> in 1920.<\/p>\n

From the prolific H. Bedford-Jones<\/strong> comes “Irregular Brethern,” a sermon of a different sort. This appeared in Blue Book<\/em> from 1919. If you’re interested in Bedford-Jones, Altus Press<\/a> has been putting out a lot of his stuff.<\/p>\n

An unusual love story is “A Repeating Romeo” by May Belleville Brown<\/strong> from a 1915 issue of All-Story Magazine<\/em>. A young couple meets for the first time and realize they have been in love through many past lives.<\/p>\n

Tied to this story is an interview with “Gary Bullock, Journeyman Actor” by Audrey Parente<\/strong>. The main focus is his recent sf fantasy novel of loss (and found love), but it also gets into his long acting career.<\/p>\n

In the new pulp arena, we get:<\/p>\n

“Angels and Animals” by Adam McFarlane<\/strong> is a strange little story about pirates, genies, and ships in bottles.<\/p>\n

Dana Edward Johnson<\/strong>, a retired PA, gives us “The Green Mask.” A new pulp hero, this masked crimefighter\u2019s on his first case. It’s not your standard masked pulp hero either, and not your standard case. I would be interested to see more of this character.<\/p>\n

“Not What I Ordered” by Howard Hammerman<\/strong> is a different romance story.<\/p>\n

“My Sister\u2019s Husband” by Michael Bracken<\/strong> is a strange little romance tale.<\/p>\n

Issue #28 is already out, and it has some interesting items. I hope to get it soon. If you’re not getting this series of fanzines, do so today!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
