Download or read book The Age of Dimes and Pulps written by Jeremy Agnew and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2018-07-25 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the dime novels of the Civil War era to the pulp magazines of the early 20th century to modern paperbacks, lurid fiction has provided thrilling escapism for the masses. Cranking out formulaic stories of melodrama, crime and mild erotica--often by uncredited authors focused more on volume than quality--publishers realized high profits playing to low tastes. Estimates put pulp magazine circulation in the 1930s at 30 million monthly. This vast body of "disposable literature" has received little critical attention, in large part because much of it has been lost--the cheaply made books were either discarded after reading or soon disintegrated. Covering the history of pulp literature from 1850 through 1960, the author describes how sensational tales filled a public need and flowered during the evolving social conditions of the Industrial Revolution.
Download or read book Nick Nightmare Investigates written by Adrian Cole and published by Pulp Hero Press. This book was released on 2019-10 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stories of the Strange, Marvelous, and Supernatural Meet Nick Nightmare--hard-boiled private investigator who takes on the tough cases that make the cops, the FBI, and the CIA scatter for cover. In this first volume from his private files, Nick shoots, punches and quips his way through an outrageous world of crawling horrors, spawned by the Old Ones as they seek to rise up from their primordial oceanic depths, "when the stars are right." Whether he is shooting it out with power-crazed acolytes in his native New York, or slipping across into other dimensions to battle the spreading plague of invasion, Nick Nightmare is never far from the long, clammy reach of ultimate night. Encountering bizarre artifacts of power, decrepit villages and citadels, magic and voodoo, life for this private eye is an endless diet of madness and mayhem. Nick is accompanied by a host of weird characters, including the aging but still potent superhero team Vengeance Unlimited, the extraordinary Montifellini and his trans-dimensional Magic Bus, and the dazzling Ariadne Carnadine, a modern-day ninja nonpareil. Told in his own blunt, dry words, as transcribed faithfully by British Fantasy Award-winner Adrian Cole, Nick Nightmare Investigates is a potent blend of HPL, Mickey Spillane, and the roller-coaster adventures of the golden age of the pulps. "Adrian Cole is now at the height of his literary powers, and is currently producing the strongest work of his long career." --British Fantasy Society

Daniel Carter used to be a homicide detective, but his last case -- the hunt for a serial killer -- went wrong in strange ways and soured the job for him. Now he's a private investigator trying to live a quiet life. Strangeness, however, has not finished with him. First he inherits a bookstore in Providence from someone he's never heard of, along with an indignant bookseller who doesn't want a new boss. She's Emily Lovecraft, the last known descendant of H.P. Lovecraft, the writer from Providence who told tales of the Great Old Ones and the Elder Gods, creatures and entities beyond the understanding of man. Then people start dying in impossible ways, and while Carter doesn't want to be involved, but he's beginning to suspect that someone else wants him to be. As he reluctantly investigates, he discovers that Lovecraft's tales were more than just fiction, and he must accept another unexpected, and far more unwanted inheritance.
