Pulp Books

Most of the research on youth suicide focuses on clinical profiling but there aren't many studies that reflect the adolescent's own perspective. Even though the book does not pursue qualitative psychological research (say, discourse analysis), it does achieve the goal of "cruising" the reader (parents of teenagers, hopefully) into the heterogeinity that suicidal adolescents conform. As a clinical psychologist I consider Crook's approach very valuable in improving intervention parameters by rescuing and not putting aside what these kids at risk have to say of their own experience. I believe effective psycotherapy with suicidal teens has to actively incorporate not only risk factors and comorbidity but also individual differences, circumstances and resources.

Peterkin, A.D., "Outbursts!: A Queer Erotic Thesaurus"
Arsenal Pulp Press, 2003


Amos Lassen and Literary Pride

Have you ever fished for forbidden trout before you cleaned up the kitchen? What was it like when you performed that Hooverism? Did you have a look at his Hawaiian eye? Did you pick him up at the birdcage? Have you ever spoken German at a cocktail party? And you ladies, do you often make scissors? Have you been tap dancing lately or visit with Marty |Machlia? What did you think of those Barnes and Nobles?
If you have any idea of what I am talking about you do not need this book. I, however, had never heard any of these terms before and have no intention of defining them. If you want to know what they mean, you have to read "Outbursts!" There are names there for all those parts of our bodies we hold dear as well as for the activities we lovingly engage in. A.D. Peterkin has compiled a volume that has names of everything (and in any case photographs to match.
There has always been slang for erotic activities and nicknames for the parts of the body that we use in the pursuit of pleasure. In gay and lesbian life, the terms change with the times and this has often been necessary so that the straight world will not know what we are talking about. (However, in many instances, we also did not understand what we were talking about--think "cootie" or "poperine pair"). Here is a book that will answer all of your questions and increase your vocabulary at the same time. Peterkin has given us the basis for a codified language that only we will understand and even if you never use the words, you will laugh at loud when you read them. He shows how euphemism, camp language, rhyme, foreign language, mythology, metaphor and acronym have colored the language we speak. This language, the new linguistics Peterkin gives us is the personification of queerness.
Peterkin explains the quotations we see in online ads and chat rooms so we will never have to wonder again what MBA means (mutually beneficial arrangement) or what MOMD is. This is an invaluable book. In this progressive thesaurus, the language of sex is demystified and it dares to go where no other thesaurus as gone before. It is must for all of us who want to know what that good looking fundillo is saying when he talks about his gravy maker and wants you to do the Jack and Jillathon with him. Just make sure your okra and prunes and not lost in the carpet and that you keep the drapes drawn.

This is a good book about paper production. If you are working at pulp and paper industry, this book must be in your library. Not only the book touches some general idea about papermaking, the theoretical part becomes the heart of the book. You HAVE then to have good understanding of math and statistics to enjoy more the book.

The book has projects for kids and adults, little equipment required, nice photos, interesting Australian flair

Imagine yourself absorbing an assertive spoken word performance,
that is flowing fast and furious, captivating and stimulating.
Imagine how your spirit will be stirred as you sway to the power
of the words and the rhythm of the flow. Now imagine someone
capturing that feeling on paper. If you can picture that mental
visual, then you are on point, because that's what Wayde Compton
has done.

One of the most progressive and experimental poets in Canada,
Compton confronts the globalization and the co-modification of
Black culture, with a militancy reminiscent of the turbulent
sixties. Compton takes the insistent cadences of jazz and
hip-hop and fuses them with language, history and contemporary
Black politics. His poetry deals with black diaspora, the
changing culture, the legacy of the slave trade, the origin
of hip-hop and the ramifications of urban renewal on North
America's inner cities.

PERFORMANCE BOND was born from the roots of an unusual history,
and is complemented by a CD recording of one of Compton's
performances which gives life to the history. Compton has
produced deep-reaching, thought-provoking poetry, but he
shares more than an eye-opening read, his musings reintroduce
a cultural experience. (RAW Rating: 4.5)

A little beaten up this one, so a lot of people were obviously interested. Goes into interesting detail of the history of horror publishing, from England to the USA to pulps, and details some of the masters, and gives many excellent examples. Nice that it is in black and white, too, as far as horror goes.

Nice ABC for Endo surgery nothing complicated or updated... I think reading it do provide good guidelines

Everything used to be cheap, but relatives are still weird.

What a great concept. I had the opportunity to purchase this book while at I-Con in Long Island. I read it in one sitting, quite an accomplishment with an RPG manual. The layout is very impressive and very easy to follow. The are rules comnplex enough to allow for a realistic type of game play, yet simple enough to learn and follow. In short the rules do not get in the way of the game itself. I can't wait to play this.
All in all I would definately recommend this to anyone.

This has an introduction by Harlan Ellison expounding on how dodgy he used to be, and pulp-writing. A pleasant surprise to find here that, along with Hammett and Chandler, was a bunch of stories about various pulp antihero type characters from series, however, short, such as The Cobra, The Moon Man, The Phantom Crook, and even The Saint, whom it is likely many more people will have heard of.

Again, one strange decision to include a chunk of stories by one writer, Frederick Nebel, with multiple unrelated 'Richmond City' crime tales, when several more writers could have been featured. Especially given a few of these aren't very good.

As such, this anthology only has a 3.40 story average.
