Each summer, the pulp faithful gather for PulpFest<\/a>, and for years, my annual roundup of PulpFest reports appeared here on Yellowed Perils<\/em>. But the past couple of years, it’s migrated to the PulpFest website itself.<\/p>\n

\"Shopping<\/a>My 2025 roundup<\/a> went live Monday.<\/p>\n

In addition to the regulars — The Leader’s Chronicles<\/a><\/em>, Mystery*File<\/a>, and, ahem, ThePulp.Net<\/a> — there’s a whole crowd of YouTube book vloggers who ventured to PulpFest 2025. Many of their videos showcase the books and pulps that they picked up.<\/p>\n

They all say they had a great time at the convention, and judging by their PulpFest coverage, it’s hard to disagree.<\/p>\n

It’s always nice to see familiar faces at PulpFest. In fact, it’s one of the main things I look forward to. At the same time, I was glad to see a lot of new folks attending this year.<\/p>\n

PulpFest 2024 set attendance records, and this year’s gathering topped those, both in attendees and dealers. Whether it\u2019s the influx of collectors who discovered pulps through reprints, podcasts, vlogs, or the crossover with other fandoms, there was a noticeable spark to this year\u2019s event.<\/p>\n

PulpFest<\/a>‘s first associated con, FarmerCon<\/a>, celebrated its 20th year. A few years ago, ERBFest<\/a> joined PulpFest. 2025 saw the return of Doc Con<\/a> following its hiatus after a 20-year run in Arizona. And next year, the inaugural Shadow Con brings a celebration of The Shadow<\/a><\/strong> to PulpFest.<\/p>\n

Are the associated cons bringing new energy, or is the new energy fueling the associated cons? Either way, it’s welcome.<\/p>\n

So, spend some time reliving PulpFest 2025, then make plans to attend PulpFest 2026.<\/p>\n

P.S. I can’t help but put in another plug for Pulp Tales<\/a><\/em>. Our pulp podcast added 14 new episodes of PulpFest 2025 presentations, more than 10 hours of pulp-filled listening pleasure. (And that’s not counting the 120 earlier episodes.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
