Pulp Books

Oh yes, if you like flying stories and stories about the old war, this is definitely for you. And if you remember G-8 then you should know Robert J. Hogan for he wrote those stories and also wrote the stories in this book . This is a great book, lots of flying and lots of action and I also suggest you try Volume 1 of this series. This is an excellent company reprinting these stories, look them up on Amazon for they also have other books available, not many, but all excellent.

The second I saw this journal in my local bookstore, I HAD to have it. If you saw my bookshelf you'd know that I have TONS of journals and this one, by far, is the most intriguing.

The cover looks like a bona-fide dime-store trash novel with the red-dye page-edging to match. The cover is soft which, for me, is preferred because it makes it much easier to write in.

It's larger than the original book. It's not as small as a paperback (trash) novel would be.

The moment I bought it I went online (here) and bought the rest of the series. I believe there are 4 in all and I wish there were many more.

If you like journals of intriguing cover value that are easy to write in, you'll LOVE this journal series. Get them all! You won't be disappointed.

Get this journal (or all 4 of them) for someone who is a writer or someone who loves to journal!

This is a collection of short horror/weird stories orginally published in various pulp magazines from 1920's to 1950's. Some are better than others, but all are very entertaining. The stories are obviously dated, but they give a sense of nostalgia...like sitting in your grandparents' attic and discovering long forgotten treasures that someone once dearly loved. If your into that Lovecraft meets Twilight Zone genre, then you'll love this one.

I really enjoyed the humor and insights on gay life and love--as told by Al, a highstrung purebred, and Roy, the easygoing mongrel who moves in when his master starts dating Al's "canopener". Ralf Konig is a wildly popular German comic artist whose works include sexually explicit drawings and plots.

A great postcard picture collection. i gave them to my girlfriend as a present, since she has wanted a collection of pulp covers for sometime now. She loved them, I loved them, and all of our friends that also saw them got a kick out of them.
All four of the pulp cover art books by Prion are highly recommended,whether you are a fan of pulp art or just like nice pictures in general. if you are a bit of a collector of pulp covers, get em all and add 92 excellent pictures to your collection.

Shooting Scripts by Bob Herzberg is a wonderfully written guide for all fans of the Western genre in particular and aovies in general. This is a witty, engrossing story of the faxcinating journey that western novels and short stories have travelled in their road to Hollywood. the book is an in-depth look at not only the stories and novels themselves, but reveals intriguing information about the authors themselves. It also deals comprehensively with the "fidelity" of the these film adaptations.

This study is written with author's thorough and well-documented research. Each chapter analyzes the work of a well-known Western author, such as Zane Grey and Louis L'Amour, and discusses the intricacies of their work and the work of their screen "translators." The style of the book is spirited, entertaining and completely accessible to anyone with even the slightest interest in film or the Western novel. Bob Herzberg explores the a much-beloved and truly American phenomenon: the Western. It is an intelligent, yet lively look at an aspect of film that has, until this book, not really been investigated with the seriousness it deserves. Mr. Herzberg conveys a truly fresh appreciation for this area of popular culture. He is the perfect guide to this field - passionalte, funny and with a real command of his subject.

I highly recommend this book as an invaluable tool to any film and/or Western fan. It is sure to become a classic in the ever-demanding world of film literature

Dolson's collection was published in the 1970s, but its stories, characters, conflicts and landscapes remain clearly in my mind today. Well worth digging up (Pulp Press in Vancouver still has a boxful, I think). His one-shot artistry matches the best writers of the Western Plains, including Wallace Stegner and Mary Clearman Blew. This guy blows away the likes of Richard Ford, because Dolson understands the Great Plains and how growing up there shapes people and affects their ways of thinking and manners of speech. You can feel the bonds between people, even see the hills and feel the wind when you read - and later remember - these stories.

Faith Baldwin's 1931 classic pulp romance Skyscraper is as pulp as it comes. If you like your prose purple and your entendres doubled, this is the book for you.

Plucky young Lynn Harding has come to Manhattan to conquer the world; working as a sales researcher for Seacoast Bank, she catches the eye of up-and-comer Tom Shepherd. Sadly, the young lovers can't be married, or else Lynn will lose the job that she loves so much. While she and Tom wrestle with the question of whether or not they have a future together, dashing older man David Dwight has designs on the lovely Lynn. Will she fall into his louche clutches? Will she and Tom be forced to separate forever? Will Lynn get to keep her job at the bank?

While the plot is laughably dated, Baldwin's writing holds up as well as any modern romance--the Feminist Press has chosen well for its Femmes Fatales line.

The SPIDER fights bad guys. Real bad guys. No had-a-difficult-childhood bad guys. No want-to-steal-lots-of-dough-and-live-on-easy-street bad guys. He fights guys like th Living Pharoah, who comes up with a plan to recruit an army of lepers, and have them invade a fashionable Fifth Avenue department store and infect hundreds of innocent women shoppers with the dread disease, thus bringing New York City to its knees.

This is the fourth and final installment of the original "mini-series", but like the previous stories, it well stands on its own (and it is NOT a let-down, despite what buzz you may have heard). Just pure action-adventure, with The SPIDER saving the day.

Included are the ordiginal cover, the original interior illustrations, and the original stories from the back of the old pulp; the type has been reset for clarity.
