Puppy Of The Month Book Club: October 2016
http://puppyofthemonth.blogspot.com/2016_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 31, 2016. The following three stories are but a partial list of recommendations for readers who enjoyed Nine Princes in Amber. The Guns of Avalon. This is the immediate sequel to Nine Princes in Amber. Many recommend reading The Guns of Avalon. Together with Nine Princes in Amber. A strange yet compelling mix of the American Revolution (per Zelazny), sword and planet fiction, and Indian religious myth, Lord of Light. Is a classic. Read it, and then watch Argo. Sounds familiar, doesn't it?

Monday, October 31, 2016. Pulp Radio Halloween: The Shadow - The Immortal Murderer. Using a radio script of a lost Shadow episode, written by Alfred Bester of science fiction classics The Demolished Man. And The Stars, My Destination. Fame, Razorfist and a host of Youtubers and fans have brought to life The Immortal Murderer once more. Was based on one of those radio scripts. So when you leaf through the pulps for the roots of science fiction and fantasy, don't stop at Weird Tales. A Vision of the Grail.

http://thepulparchvist.blogspot.com/2016_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 30, 2016. A Simple Measure of Pulp. The following is a quick listing of the reading metrics for the first thousand words of eight different pulp era writers. The stories were chosen by what I had readily available, filtered for works written in the 1920s-1930s. Thus Silver John was not used for Manly Wade Wellman, as most of those stories were written in the 1960s. Lord Dunsany; "The Bride of the Man Horse". SMOG: 10.4 grade. Flesch-Kincaid: 10.3 grade. SMOG: 10.4 grade. One observation ...

The Pulp Archivist: Just Released - Doc Savage: Empire of Doom
http://thepulparchvist.blogspot.com/2017/01/just-released-doc-savage-empire-of-doom.html
Friday, January 13, 2017. Just Released - Doc Savage: Empire of Doom. This is the second team up between Doc Savage and the Shadow in print ever. The first, last year's Doc Savage: The Sinister Shadow. Is one of the best of Will Murray's new Doc Savage adventures, so I have high hopes that this one will be just as good. It began with the hijacking of a destroyer from the Brooklyn Navy Yard. The stolen warship struck midtown Manhattan with its mighty guns, then vanished far out to sea. Up Under the Roof.

The Pulp Archivist: Feed My Frankenstein
http://thepulparchvist.blogspot.com/2017/01/feed-my-frankenstein.html
Thursday, January 5, 2017. I've been wanting to take a swing at the popular idea of Frankstein. Being the first science fiction book ever since I started digging into the French tradition of science fiction. However, Kevyn Winkless over at the Castalia House blog beat me to it. And constructed a better argument against it than the one I was working on. As with everything, it depends on your definition. It might well be a bit of a stretch to call. A mad scientist story as some do [15]. Is similarly diffic...

The Pulp Archivist: Bradford Walker's Archetype of the Flying Ace
http://thepulparchvist.blogspot.com/2017/01/bradford-walkers-archetype-of-flying-ace.html
Saturday, January 14, 2017. Bradford Walker's Archetype of the Flying Ace. Bradford Walker sketches out the archetype of the pulp Flying Ace:. The Flying Ace is a man in his physical prime, often right at the confluence of youthful exuberance and age-worn experience. Variations on this character often rely on altering the character's age to adjust that balance of influences. For you younger folks, Poe Dameron of The Force Awakens is so typical of the archetype as to be iconic in its expression. Wellmans ...
