supremeprogress01_jpg_scaled500-7069661

“THE SUPREME PROGRESS is another anthology of eighteen 19th century French proto-SF stories (following NEWS FROM THE MOON and THE GERMANS ON VENUS) by Brian Stableford. I’ll single out two as singularly ground-breaking: Charles Cros’ An Interastral Drama (1872), about an unlawful love between an Earthman and a Venusian woman, and Eugène Mouton’s The End of the World (1872), depicting an ecocatastrophe precipitated by global warming generated by human industrial activity. The cover is by Mike Hoffman.

underseaodyssey-4627783

UNDERSEA ODYSSEY is a suspenseful 1907 techno-thriller about a crew trapped in a sunken submarine at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea, by Captain Danrit, a French war hero (he died at Verdun) and the #1 author of militaristic, near-futuristic thrillers of his time. The cover is by Meinert Hansen.

harrydickson-9461201

Finally, HARRY DICKSON AND THE WEREWOLF OF RUTHERFORD GRANGE not only reprints G.L. Gick’s (revised) story of Tales of the Shadowmen 1 & 2, but includes four more stories by Gick (two never published before) and an original Harry Dickson tale as well. The cover is by Matt Haley.”

At the Pulp Radio Network, we’ve combined two of our favorite entertainment forms – “pulp” fiction and audio drama – to create an exciting new dimension in listening.
We take favorite pulp stories – in all genres – from the popular fiction magazines of the 1930s, ’40s, and ’50s … adapt them to the audio format … then record the stories in stereo with professional casts, live sound effects, and complete music scores.
The result: cracking good pulp stories like you’ve never experienced them before.
It’s a whole new dimension in “audio books”!

ALL PULP’S A BOOK A DAY REVEALS A LITTLE KNOWN ACTRESS FROM THE GOLDEN AGE OF THE SILVER SCREEN!

MARJORIE WHITE: HER LIFE AND WORK
www.bearmanormedia.com
Marjorie White” details the life story of an actress of the ’20s and ’30s, a top starlet of her day, but virtually forgotten today. She was among the most talented of young comediennes of her era, and had she not died tragically at such a young age, on the very verge of top stardom, would have been among the names most highly remembered these years later, as the equal of such silver-screen luminaries as Jean Harlow, Betty Hutton, Martha Raye, and the others who achieved their own fame  in that “Golden Age” of stage and cinema.

Born in the provinces of Canada, she was an outgoing performer from her earliest childhood, Worked the WWI years with the Winnipeg Kiddies performing troupe, and went on to acclaim on the Vaudeville stage, and made her screen debut in the light musicals of the late 1920s. With but 15 films to her credit, her inborn Joie De Vie and outgoing elan, she easily stole the show and overshadowed even the biggest names to whom she played “second fiddle.”

Her story in these pages should remind everyone why she deserves to chronicled  to performance history and remembered with a warm smile. Sometimes humorous, other times sadly ironic, it should bring to everyone’s heart a soft “if only, if only.”

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Gary Olszewski, an avid theater historian, began this book after seeing her play the lead in 1934’s “Woman Haters”, billed top and above the 3 Stooges, and started with the thought “Who was she, and whatever became of her?” Upon researching her life and career, he embarked on a comprehensive biographical/historical journey of her and her family ancestry, which dates to Scotland”s House of Stuart in the 1600s. Gary is a semi-retired Vietnam veteran, and currently lives in Las Vegas, Nevada, where he continues his literary pursuits.

ALL PULP REVIEW FROM RON FORTIER!!!

ALL-PULP REVIEW

By Ron Fortier

SIX-GUNS STRAIGHT FROM HELL

Edited by David B.Riley & Laura Givens

Science Fiction Trails Publishing

284 pages

I’ve made it a habit that after reading and reviewing a whopping big novel, I like to follow it up with an anthology. Sort of allowing my literary palette to enjoy smaller treats after having digested a weighty tome. With anthologies one can read them at a leisurely pace, choosing one or two tales every few days and not worry about remembering a single narrative over a long period of time. This I picked up “Six-Guns Straight From Hell,” a collection of weird western stories produced locally here in Colorado by editors David Riley and Laura Givens.

Now deciding whether any anthology is good or bad is simply a matter of mathematics. If the collection has more good stories than bad ones, it’s a good book and just the opposite if the clunkers outnumber the decent yarns. This volume contained a total of twenty stories and in the end the break down was four truly great pieces, ten good ones and six duds. Ergo, an excellent package all around, to include Laura Given’s humorous cover which tips its Stetson to the old TV series, the Wild Wild West.

Among the stellar quartet was “Chin Song Ping & the Fifty Three Thieves” by editor Givens. It’s the first story and my personal favorite. A Chinese rift on the Arabian legend of Ali Baba with a little Jackie Chan kung fu humor thrown in for good measure. Original, surprising and fun, it has all the elements to make you glad you picked this book up. Whereas “The Road to Bodie” is a sensitive drama about a young Mexican woman caught between two untenable situations, desperate to take her widowed mother and flee to a better life in Texas. And then there’s “The Enterprising Necromancer,” about a shrewd fellow whose business is raising the dead. A deliciously twisted fable that had me chuckling aloud. The final gem is “Snake Oil” by Jennifer Campbell Hicks about an elixir salesmen who arrives in town in a new, fancy dirigible.

Without listing all the other ten tales that I liked, let me add honorable mentions to David Boop’s “Bleeding the Bank Dry,” “The Last Defenders,” by Carol Hightshoe, “Smile” by Kit Voker and “A Specter in the Light,” by David Lee Summers. Coupled with the others, these adventures into the strange and scary west all proved to be entertaining. As for those I labeled duds, you’ll just have to pick those out yourself. All art is subjective and who knows, maybe one of them will tickle your particular fancy.

The bottom line here is “Six-Guns Straight From Hell” is a solid, marvelous anthology for those of you who like to mix your genres. So grab a copy, load your six-shooters and saddle up for some macabre adventures. It’s one “Hell” of a ride.

SECOND DODGE DALTON BOOK COMING, COVER RELEASED!
Author Sean Ellis, creator of DODGE DALTON, and Seven Realms Publishing have announced that the second Dodge Dalton book, DODGE DALTON AT THE OUTPOST OF FATE, is nearing completion.  In anticipation of that, the book’s cover has been released! Stay tuned to ALL PULP for more developments from DODGE DALTON!!
PRO SE ANNOUNCES HIRING OF STAFF ARTIST!

 Pro Se Productions announces today that the Pro Se Presents Magazine line now has a Staff Artist.  Art chores to this point have been handled wonderfully by several contributing artists and Pro Se appreciates the work each of them has done.  In an effort to further improve the consistent look of the magazine line, however, the choice was made to bring on one individual to handle all interior art chores.  Clayton Hinkle, a past contributing artist, was offered and has accepted this position.

Clayton is 53 years old, recent heart attack survivor, happily married, no kids, 1 dog. Though his official (day-job) work title is auto-equipment operator (truck driver), , Clayton considers himself  a pulp/comic/book artist/illustrator, and is working hard to attain that title as his official job. Clayton has a life long love for comics, paper-backs and pulps and has been drawing such as far back as he can remember as well. 
Pro Se Editor in Chief Tommy Hancock stated, “We’re very excited to have Clayton on board.  All of the artists we have used in our magazines have been great, but we’ve done such a wonderful job of establishing a ‘Pro Se’ style of sorts that we felt to further that we needed to have a regular artist and Clayton fits the bill and has such a range of skills that we’re honored to have him.”  Hancock pointed out that Clayton would also be working on upcoming book covers as well for Pro Se Productions, but that other opportunities still existed for artists within the company and that announcements on these opportunities would be forthcoming.
hairykhetar-7868135
Another change Pro Se is making as of their most recent issue is stories under 10,000 words, considered ‘short-shorts’ by Pro Se will no longer have accompanying art.  Stories that are 10,000 words are more will have accompanying art.  When asked the reason for this change, Hancock stated that it was both artistic and work related.  “We now have one person doing the art,” Hancock commented, “so we need to consider him in this. Also, we hope this encourages longer stories from submitting writers.”

Before Hiro on Heroes, there was Steve Austin – The Six Million Dollar Man. Before Buffy Summers on Buffy The Vampire Slayer, there was Jaime Sommers – The Bionic Woman. Now, television’s classic wonder people of the 1970s are back and stronger than ever in – THE BIONIC BOOK: THE SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN AND THE BIONIC WOMAN RECONSTRUCTED, written by best-selling author Herbie J Pilato (Bewitched Forever, The Kung Fu Book of Caine).

Co-billed as the Cybernetic Compendium To TV’s Most Realistic Sci-Fi Superhero Shows, THE BIONIC BOOK is chuck full of commentary culled from Pilato’s exclusive interviews with Bionic stars Lee Majors (who played half-superman/half-mechanical marvel Steve Austin), Lindsay Wagner (Jaime Sommers – Steve’s female counter-part and one true love), series creator (and science fiction novel icon) Martin Caidin, executive producer Harve Bennett (who would later help to ignite the Star Trek feature film franchise), producer/director Kenneth Johnson (The Incredible Hulk and Alien Nation) and actor Richard Anderson, the latter of whom portrayed Oscar Goldman – Steve and Jaime’s stoic but understanding supervisor on both shows (and who has penned the book’s foreword).

Much more than a mere TV trivia guide, THE BIONIC BOOK explores in-depth the social, psychological, medical and scientic influence, appeal and message behind two of the most popular and heroic science fiction television programs of all time.

ALL PULP REVIEW OF THIS TITLE COMING SOON!
