\"'Pulp<\/a>With a new, lower price, but the same number of pages, Bold Venture Press<\/a> has put out a new issue of Pulp Adventures<\/em>, #33 for Fall 2019. Under a very nice cover by Harry Rosenbaum<\/strong> (not sure the source), we get a wide range of stories both new and classic pulp.<\/p>\n

For classic pulp fiction, we get several pieces by a variety of authors.<\/p>\n

Another crime tale from Charles Boeckman<\/strong>, the late jazz musician\/pulp author is “Death Speaks Softly” from New Detective<\/em> in 1950. A meek bank teller leaves his job for a new life, but gets pulled into crime.<\/p>\n

Frederick Pohl<\/strong> was a major sf author and editor, and his short tale “The Tunnel Under the World” is from Galaxy<\/em>. A couple keep reliving the same day, and the reason is a pretty sinister.<\/p>\n

We get one of H.P. Lovecraft<\/strong>‘s early shorter works “The White Ship.” More part of his “Dreamland” sequence, a lighthouse keeper has a strange adventure on a mysterious ghost ship. First published in 1919, it was later reprinted in Weird Tales<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Another tale from Sax Rohmer<\/strong> is “Breath of Allah” from The Premier Magazine<\/em> in 1917. It’s an interesting piece about industrial espionage set in Egypt which turns into something else.<\/p>\n

A different work is “The Story of Misi\u00f3n San Juan Capistrano” by H. Bedford-Jones<\/strong>. This piece, a non-fiction history of this mission in California, saw publication in a small self-published pamphlet in 1918.<\/p>\n

And now for New Pulp<\/a> works, we get a large selection.<\/p>\n

Jack Bludis<\/strong> introduces his PI character Ken Sligo<\/strong> in “New Guy on the Block.” He’s a veteran, now working as a PI shortly after World War II. He is just starting out, and has taken on a case to find someone who jumped bail, but it’s actually a setup. This character appears in his own novel from Bold Venture: The Killers Are Coming<\/em>.<\/p>\n

From Michael R. Hayfields<\/strong> is “An Old Friend,” about a mysterious vigilante called The Death\u2019s Head<\/strong> going after a corrupt military leader in Mexico.<\/p>\n

Teel James Glenn<\/strong> has written several works, and I’ve posted<\/a> on his character of Dr. Shadows<\/strong>. In “The Pursuit of the Moor” has a jewel thief teamed up with a journalist to find a jewel he once owned but lost. The reason he wants it back is revealed at the end.<\/p>\n

“The Client” by Nils Gilbertson<\/strong> is another crime piece, which focuses on a lawyer who has to deal with an unusual client.<\/p>\n

A fairly short work is “Conspiracy Theory” by Carson Demanns<\/strong> about a conspiracy nut who becomes an internet legend when he dies, somewhat mysteriously.<\/p>\n

Adam Beau McFarlane<\/strong> gives us an unusual pirate tale in “Captain Warwick\u2019s Hand.” He was looking for a new hand, but got a bit more then he was expecting.<\/p>\n

As always, it’s another great collection of stories. Hopefully the newer, lower cost will lead to better sales. This is a great series and I look forward to the next one. If people aren’t getting this series, they are missing out on some great works.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
