\"'Pulp<\/a>With the previous issue kicking off the fifth year of this revised version, Bold Venture Press<\/a> put out the new issue of Pulp Adventures<\/em>, #32 for summer 2019. Under a very nice cover (not<\/em> by Norman Saunders<\/strong>) taken from a copy of True Detective<\/em> in 1952, we again get a selection of new and old pulp stories in a variety of genres.<\/p>\n

In the area of classic pulp fiction, we get stories from a trio of great pulp authors, whose works are published along with the original interior artwork.<\/p>\n

From Charles Boeckman<\/strong> (1908-2015), whom Bold Venture has reprinted a couple of collections of works and has been included in past issues, we get murder mystery detective story, “The Death Dancer.” This appeared in Popular Detective<\/em> in 1951.<\/p>\n

Adventure author Talbot Mundy<\/strong> (1879-1940) gives us “Roman Holiday,” which is a story about Christians and Romans, and gladiator games, set during the reign of Caligula<\/strong>. It appeared in Golden Fleece<\/em> in 1938, which was a short-lived (eight-issue) pulp devoted to historical adventure. It’s front cover was used as the back cover of this issue.<\/p>\n

Sax Rohmer<\/strong> (1883-1953), creator of Fu Manchu<\/strong>, wrote various short stories. So we get “The Pigtail of Hi Wing,” a mystery tale set in Chinatown. It’s from Blue Book<\/em> in 1916, though am sure it originally appeared in the U.K. first.<\/p>\n

We get a variety of New Pulp<\/a> fiction: air adventure, detective, horror, science fiction, nautical adventures, and more.<\/p>\n

Lance Starr<\/strong> is a New Pulp air adventures in the style of Bill Barnes<\/strong> and others. There have been four collections from Airship 27<\/a>, and Bobby Nash<\/strong> gives us another short story: “The Mystery of Island X!” Here Starr and his crew check out a strange volcanic island and work out its mysteries. This is my first time reading this character, and found it pretty good.<\/p>\n

William M. Hope<\/strong>‘s “The Spawn of Lilthu” is a Lovecraftian horror tale set in ancient times.<\/p>\n

David Bernard<\/strong> gives us a giant-insect science-fiction tale in “The Wicked Big \u2018Monstah Ovah Bawstin\u2019.” Adam Beau McFarlane<\/strong> gives us another Black Island Tavern tale in “Time and Tide.” He last appeared in issue #29.<\/p>\n

We get a science-fiction tale, “Stranded at Saturn,” from Jack Halliday<\/strong>. From Robert Walker<\/strong>, we get a different tale about an assassin in “A Snitch in Time.”<\/p>\n

As always, it’s a great issue and I look forward to the next issue. Bold Venture has been doing a good job of getting them out on a quarterly basis, and we are promised the fall issue in October.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
