Great post, and I love the covers!<br /><br />I think you're right. E-Books are the pulp of today. So maybe some of the authors will have enduring followings, like Edgar Rice Burroughs and H.P. Lovecraft.<br /><br />And Jenna - Garce isn't a new Phaze author! His story "An Early Winter Train" is in "Coming Together With Pride" and has been highly praised.<br /><br />Warmly,<br />LisabetLisabet Saraihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05162514190572269660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-24724681692285784452009-08-05T22:18:51.548-04:002009-08-05T22:18:51.548-04:00Hey Garce,

I'll come over and autograph your computer monitor.<br /><br />I didn't read pulps growing up, partly because by the time I was old enough they were already extinct. I did collect comic books though. That's another post. <br /><br />I've been watching a movie from Netflix you might enjoy. Do you know Robert E. Howard? The guy who wrote Conan the Barbarian and some really excellent horror stories like "Pigeons From Hell"? I gues he was by his own account "the greatest pulp writer in the world". There's a sweetly sad romantic movie about his life and the one love affair he ever had, and it's all about writing for the pulps. It's called "The Whole Wide World" and has Renee Zellweger (sp) and Vincent D-onofrio. Check it out.<br /><br />Garce<br /><br />"Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split, as a general thing." <br /> Robert E.

The up coming "pulp fiction" anthology "Coming Into The Light" has one of your stories ("Far From Ordinary") and one of mine ("How Paradise Comes to The Blind")! Congratulations, baby.<br /><br />GarceGarceushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11160407485298015371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-42470488029595540762009-08-05T19:33:26.318-04:002009-08-05T19:33:26.318-04:00Hi Ashley!

Typewriter's are all about the romantic image of the writer, based on the reality of the pulp fiction writers. Guys like Raymond Chandler or Dasheil Hammett sitting in a rented room at a little table pounding out the good stuff, mouthing the dialogue, with a cigarette hanging from their lip, working for 1/2 a cent a word. If only someone would make a laptop that looks like a typewriter.<br /><br />GarceGarceushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11160407485298015371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-29276791934608168242009-08-05T10:24:10.921-04:002009-08-05T10:24:10.921-04:00Garceus, I so remember, the old pulps.

That image is going to stay with me for the rest of the day.<br /><br />Excellent post,<br /><br />AshleyAshley Listerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11997769708965362938noreply@blogger.com
