The Pulpateers (Schlock! Anthology)

THE PULPATEERS is the third anthology produced by internationally notorious Schlock! Webzine. This time contributors were required to pen old-style pulp stories based on the formula developed by Lester Dent, schlock-supremo of the 20s and 30s, creator of Doc Savage and other precursors to enduring pulp heroes such as Superman. The results? A shocking tale of what lurks beneath a violent contemporary US city by MARTIN SLAG; exotic, swashbuckling Islamic adventure and cosmic horror from DAMIR SALKOVIC; two-fisted detective intrigue and thuggery beneath the sea from Schlock! loyalist JAMES RHODES; animal wizardry from a world beyond books in JOSEPH BANETH ALLEN’s tribute to the late Andre Norton; girls being girls with unfortunate extra-terrestrial consequences from SERGIO PALUMBO (plus indefatigable editorial assistance from MICHELE DUTCHER); Hilltop Manor’s history of terror from Horrified Press editor NATHAN J.D.L. ROWARK; voodoo and hoodoo from punk rock guru and Artifix Records owner GREG McWHORTER; the terrors to be found within an infinity mirror from journalist and martial artist MICHAEL LIZARRAGA; split seconds of tragically futile time travel from FLORENCE ANN MARLOW, a self-confessed next door neighbour to the Jersey Devil; and a greaser’s deal with the Devil from the mighty TODD NELSEN.
