A mental marvel from birth, who used
his talents on stage as a boy, Philip Strange is now
known as "The Phantom Ace of G-2" by the
Allies during WWI. A boyhood prank comes
back to haunt the so-called Brain-Devil when he meets
his vaudeville nemesis in the Theater of War. Karl
von Zenden, the one-time "lightning-change" Man of a Thousand
Faces, is now using his stage tricks as agent
Z-13 for the Wilhelmstrasse—and he’s not one to drop the
curtain on a grudge. Now backstage rivals are front-line
enemies in an exclusive engagement of “Spy vs.
Spy.” And when Strange gets into the act and uses his own
makeup-mastery, the Great War becomes the Greatest Show
on Earth! Ladies and gentlemen, presenting for your
entertainment ... two strange operators head-to-head in eight
pulp classics from the pages of Flying Aces magazine!

Join Smoke Wade, six-gun rider of theDevil’s
Sky Range flying the Pinto-colored Spad he called Jake,
after his favorite ranch pony back home

complete, uncut, and in order.

Robert Leslie Bellem,
Clint Morgan, Clive Trent, Jerome Severs Perry,
Carl Moore, Cary Moran, and Clark Nelson
Introduction by Alfred Jan
The Thrills of Horror! Romantic Tales of the Eerie and Occult! You’ll
find them in Spicy Mystery—stories of red-blooded men and lovely
girls in dangerous situations, in an atmosphere of chills and thrills.
Real life is never so tense and dramatic as when a girl is in peril—or
as when a siren as deadly as she is beautiful sets her snare for a
man….
Are you bored of typical weird menace plots, many of which crept
into Spicy Mystery? Then sample these tales which break out of that
tired formula where every ending is happy, and the only challenge
is guessing which minor character gets exposed as the villain in
a rubber monster suit and demon mask!
The Best of Spicy Mystery, Volume 2 contains 11 classic stories
by the masters of the genre, complete, uncut, and with the original
illustrations.
It also includes an all-new introduction by editor Alfred Jan, one
of the leading experts on the series.

In Voyages and Adventures of Jacques Massé (c.1710),
Simon Tyssot de Patot dispatched his protagonist to an imaginary
land in an heretofore unknown austral continent, where he comes across
a "lost world" utopian civilization inhabited by strange creatures
that have survived from prehistoric times.
The text also includes an early appearance by the Wandering Jew with
a visionary narrative attributed to the folklore of the polar continent,
in which a character discovers a subterranean portal to "the abode
of the blessed."
Finally, in Discoveries in the Region of the North Pole by the Reverend
Father Pierre de Mésange (1720), Tyssot's eponymous hero discovers
a secret underground kingdom inhabited by the descendants of African
colonists who left their homeland four thousand years earlier, and
spends several years recording their stories and fables.
Written in the early years of the 18th century these two novels constitute
is a truly remarkable achievement, marking a highly significant
watershed in the evolution of literary accounts of imaginary voyages,
predating Jonathan Swift's satirical account of the travels of Lemuel
Gulliver, published in 1726, and Jules Verne's classic Journey to the
Center of the Earth by 140 years!

Pierre Véron (1833-1900) was a frequent contributor to two of
the most popular Parisian humorous papers, Le Charivari (which served
as the model for the English magazine Punch) and the Journal Amusant,
until becoming editor-in-chief of both in 1874, retaining that position
until a few months before his death.
Although The Merchants of Health (1862) is set on the Planet Fantasia,
it really is an ironic reflections on the French medical system
of its era. Despite the fact that modern medicine is far more competent
and better organized, it is disturbing to see how many of his observations
regarding the psychology of patients and some of the tendencies of
the "merchants of health" still ring a bell today.
Mister Nobody (1864) lavishly explores an immense future Paris of
the 20th century and offers an ironic look at the future of Parisian
life. Six more stories complete this panorama of Véron's
fiction, contemporary with Jules Verne the birth of the roman scientifique.
Véron is a significant precursor of Albert Robida's more elaborate
series of humorous accounts of 20th century life.

This dual nature of the vampire, stretching between love and death,
creates a moral ambiguity which is omnipresent in its literary treatment,
incorporating and contrasting seduction and horror, heroism and
villainy. It only reflects the nature of life after death, and how
it is perceived by its surrounding culture. Is it a desirable dream,
or a hateful abomination? A reward or a punishment? And what price
must one pay for such survival?
The stories contained in this collection, featuring some of the most
famous vampires in literary history, incorporate all of these contradictions;
in them, vampires can be both super-human and sub-human, sexual predators
and impotent, romantic and passionate, and yet devoid of soul. Ultimately,
the vampire is our own face, reflecting in the mirror of our beliefs,
the incarnation of our spiritual choices.

Six exciting
stories from the October 15, 1935 issue of ADVENTURE magazine!
Pulp magazines were the popular entertainment of their era and reflected
the pop culture of the time. One of the earliest and most enduring
of the pulps was ADVENTURE.
Stories range from classics to period curiosities, from mysteries
to Westerns, to sports stories—and they may not always reflect modern
ideas of political correctness. However, it is always a joy to
"return to those thrilling days of yesteryear" and immerse yourself
in the popular culture of a bygone era.
CROSS FIRE by Robert E. Pinkerton
The cowboy, armed with a .32 and dusty from his long ride across
the Malpaso wasteland, sat down and rolled a cigarette. It didn’t
matter that he was barely ten years old. He had to rescue Leach
Lewis from Singer Randall’s bunch!
FLIGHT LEADER by Bourke Lee
When a rookie pilot gets assigned to K Flight, a nighttime bombing
unit, his dreams of glory as a fighter pilot are dashed. But it
won’t take long for the eighteen-year-old to discover what it means
to be a flight leader.
NOBODY’S HORSES by S. Omar Barker
Sid Nelson doesn’t think much of the government to round-up and slaughter
wild horses from public grazing land. Can a lone cowboy save the
wildies?
THE SPIDER by Major George Fielding Eliot
Their weapons were shovels, their foe unseen, as these clay-smeared
underground soldiers battled time and a mysterious killer to save
a regiment in France.
BROTHER OF LIONS by Wynant Davis Hubbard
Lions swarmed all over Ibamba ranch. They had killed the last owner.
Here’s the story of an American who went to fight them.
SURPRISE ATTACK by Perry Adams
In the mountains of India a Cockney and a Sikh find that a fight
with fists makes enemies and a fight with bullets makes friends.

Six imaginative
stories from the February, 1942 issue of SUPER SCIENCE STORIES magazine!
SUPER SCIENCE STORIES was published by Fictioneers, a low-end imprint
of Popular Publications, from 1940 and 1943, and again from 1949
to 1951. It received praise from science fiction critics and historians.
Science fiction historian Raymond Thompson describes it as “one
of the most interesting magazines to appear during the 1940s,” despite
the variable quality of the stories. Critics Brian Stableford and
Peter Nicholls comment that the magazine “had a greater importance
to the history of SF than the quality of its stories would suggest;
it was an important training ground.”
CROSS OF MERCRUX by Harry Walton
A city that Time had forgotten… a house of forbidden mystery… a doorway
where life and death were brothers… a story of two parallel worlds
behind the streets of Old New York!
SPACESHIP FROM KORL by Frederic Arnold
Kummer, Jr.
“You are strong, Spacemen of Korl. Your rays and your bombs are
more powerful than the flesh of my people. But guard well your secrets
— for we fight until the last of us perish!”
CHILD OF THE GREEN LIGHT by Leigh Brackett
Between sun and space, a gallant little band fought to pierce the
dread secret of Mercury’s orbit—that the human race might endure!
ATRAKIN AND THE MAN by Walter Kubilius
Soulless, despotic, were the machine men that had conquered a tottering
world—yet even such as they must bargain for the one last secret
that men of flesh had denied them—the mystery of immortality!
THE WATERS UNDER THE EARTH by James
D. Perry
A dagger from the lost ages, a man from a land that has never been
charted, a people to seek out and free from the shackles of the
centuries—if you dare!
THE HUNTED ONES by John E. Harry
He had sworn to destroy an alien world—and himself with it. But one
day under a battle-filled sky he discovered the strength of a conquered
people’s creed; “There will be death but no retreat. And in the
end there must he victory!”

BLACK WINGS IV
Edited by S. T. Joshi
Orders for the unsigned edition
will be sent out this month!
The slipcased edition will follow as soon as the signing
sheets are returned!
“If anything has become evident in the first three volumes
of the Black Wings series,” editor S. T. Joshi tells us in his
Introduction to Black Wings IV, “it is that the Lovecraftian idiom
is endlessly malleable, and suited to a variety of genres and subgenres.
H. P. Lovecraft, although a strong proponent of what he called ‘weird
fiction,’ himself spanned a surprisingly wide spectrum of genres in
his own brief career, starting out as a writer of relatively conventional
tales of the macabre and gradually expanding his scope to embrace the
literature of cosmicism—a distinctive fusion of science fiction and
horror that has become his signature contribution to the field. Today,
we can find Lovecraftian elements in stories ranging from hard-boiled
crime to pure fantasy, and this volume displays the extent to which motifs,
themes, and imagery from Lovecraft’s tales can infiltrate tales that
would otherwise have little relationship to one another.”
S. T. JOSHI is the author of The Weird Tale (University of Texas
Press, 1990), The Modern Weird Tale (McFarland, 2001), and other
critical and biographical studies. His award-winning biography,
H. P. Lovecraft: A Life (Necronomicon Press, 1996), has been expanded
and updated as I Am Providence: The Life and Times of H. P. Lovecraft
(Hippocampus Press, 2010).
Joshi has edited Lovecraft’s stories, essays, letters, and revisions,
as well as works by Ambrose Bierce, Arthur Machen, Lord Dunsany,
Algernon Blackwood, and other writers. His two-volume treatise,
Unutterable Horror: A History of Supernatural Fiction (PS Publishing,
2012), has won a World Fantasy Award.

A killer stalks the streets of New York. The police call

are growing increasingly paniced, and soon everyone is hunting The
Outliner, including Jack Hagee, private eye. A reporter friend also
enlists his help is searching for information pertaining to corruption
in City Hall. Hagee is no fool -- newspapers are full of investigators,
so there must be danger ahead. While waiting for a break in the "Outliner"

Big mistake ... on their part, and maybe Hagee’s, as well!

Coming March 15!
Strictly Poison
and Other Stories
by Charles Boeckman
Charles Boeckman's biography often reads like the stuff
of pulp fiction. He left home in the early 1940s and became a jazz
musician, traveling the country, kicking around between New York
City and New Orleans. In between gigs, he purchased a used typewriter
and began pounding out hardboiled stories. Eventually, the legendary
Popular Publications editor Mike Tilden purchased one of his stories
for Detective Tales. After that accomplishment, Boeckman began appearing
in Dime Detective, Manhunt, Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine, and
many others.
Mr. Boeckman's stories usually focused on sad people trying to escape
their dreary lives -- shifty con-artists, embittered detectives
and hen-pecked losers. The author's jazz background in jazz music figures
into several stories, reaching a two-fisted crescendo.
The twenty-two stories in this anthology were originally published
in various pulp magazines -- and now they appear together, wrapped in
a breath-taking cover by Robert A. Maguire.
Two of Mr. Boeckman's stories (included in this anthology) have been
adapted for television. For ProSe Press, he developed the Johnny
Nickle jazz-detective series. Today, he cranks out stories from his
Texas home, along with his wife Patti, a formidable author in her own
right.

Clive Cussler: THE ASSASSIN (An Isaac
Bell Adventure) - Now available!
by Clive Cussler & Justin Scott
As Van Dorn private detective Isaac Bell strives to land
a government contract to investigate John D. Rockefeller’s Standard
Oil monopoly, the case takes a deadly turn. A sniper begins
murdering opponents of Standard Oil, and soon the assassin—shooting
with extraordinary accuracy at seemingly impossible long range—kills
Bell’s best witness, a brave and likable man. Then the shooter
detonates a terrible explosion that sets the victim’s independent
refinery ablaze.
Bell summons his best detectives to scour the site of the
crime for evidence. Who is the assassin and for whom did he
kill? But the murders—shootings, poisonings, staged accidents—have
just begun as Bell tracks his phantom-like criminal adversary
from the “oil fever” regions of Kansas and Texas to Washington,
D.C., to the tycoons’ enclave of New York, to Russia’s war-torn
Baku oil fields on the Caspian Sea, and back to America for a final,
desperate confrontation. And this one will be the most explosive of
all.

2015
August 20 - 23,
2015
Andrews Memorial Town Hall
54 East Main Street
Clinton, CT 06413
“Tarzan”, “John Carter” (Warlord
of Mars) and members of Edgar Rice Burroughs (ERB) family, along
with ERB comic strip writers & artists, authors of
ERB related books;
and Burroughs Bibliophiles are all coming to Andrews Memorial Town
Hall, 54 East Main Street, Clinton, CT – August 20-23, 2015 – to
celebrate Burroughs’ genius.
A movie marathon
Panel discussions
A Tarzan yell competition (judged by members of ERB’s family)
A video tribute to the late Denny Miller
An auction of ERB memorabilia
Vendors galore will all be there.
And the public is invited – for free!
The public may also dine at the banquet, at the Clinton Country
Club -- for the same fee as the Bibliophiles.
There, the guest of honor and banquet speaker will be Tony Award
winner & theatrical animal trainer Bill Berloni
talking about training animals for performance and the 2015 Outstanding
Achievement Award will be given, posthumously, to Denny Miller.
Dum
Dum Banquet Speaker/Guest of Honor will be Bill Berloni
Our 2015 Dum Dum Banquet Speaker/Guest of Honor, will be Bill Berloni,
who recently trainied Bowdie, a Poodle Mix, to play the part of
Nana in the beloved musical “Peter Pan”, which aired, live, on NBC
on December 4th. Another of his trainees is in the new “Annie” movie,
which opened just before Christmas. Additionally, he has two dogs
(one is the understudy) in the current National Tour of “Annie” – as
well as critters in other theatrical productions, both domestically
and abroad (Toto in “The Wizard of Oz” in Paris, France).
For those of you who are unfamiliar with Bill Berloni, let me
introduce him to you:
In the summer of 1976, Bill was a 19-year-old apprentice at the
Goodspeed Opera House when a producer offered him his big break:
a chance to act professionally and gain his Equity Card. In return,
all Bill had to do was find and train a dog to play Sandy in the
original production of "Annie".
What Bill didn’t know was that this was a bigger challenge than
it seemed. Animal performances in movies or television can be
stitched together using different takes, different camera angles,
even different animals. To perform in a featured role, an animal
actor would have to be trained to ignore the distraction of the
audience and respond to the same cues the same way night-after-night,
just like his human counterparts. It had never been done before.
Bill found his dog at a local animal shelter – beginning his
career-long commitment to using rescued animals. Through a combination
of persistence, patience and trial-and-error, he developed
his revolutionary humane training techniques – learning how to teach
actor and animal alike to create a successful performance. Annie
became a huge hit and Sandy became “the longest running dog on
Broadway,” never missing a performance in more than seven years.
Since then, Bill and his handlers have provided animals of all
species and sizes, found in shelters, humane societies or rescue
leagues, for Broadway, off-Broadway, national tours, regional
theatres, special events, the New York City Ballet, motion pictures,
television and commercials. When their careers are over, the animals
return to Bill’s Connecticut farm.
Bill is widely recognized as an expert in animal behavior and
for his dedication to rescue work. In addition to his work as a
trainer, Bill is currently behavior consultant to the Humane Society
of New York. He has a BFA in theatre, and is a published author
and actor.

How
to get to Dum Dum 2015
Clinton, Connecticut is a mere 20 miles or so east of New
Haven and is easily accessible by plane, train and car.
Connecticut’s Bradley International Airport (BDL) services all
major airlines, as well as bargain priced Southwest (http://www.southwest.com/
(sign up for their e-mails); and Jet Blue (http://www.jetblue.com;
sign up for their e-mails as well). Bradley is only 55 minutes
from Clinton by car. Folks can also fly into New York’s JFK or L...aGuardia;
Rhode Island’s Warwick/Providence; or Boston’s Logan - and then rent
a car or take an airport limo or train. Additionally, US Air flies
into New Haven’s Tweed-NH Airport.
Clinton is also accessible by Metro North, from New York City’s
Grand Central Station to New Haven -- and then Shoreline East
from New Haven to Clinton (or any of the other nearby shoreline
stations); and Amtrak, which has stops in New Haven and nearby Old
Saybrook.
And of course, you can always get there by car -- to Exit 63 or
64 on I-95.

What to do
in the Clinton area

Clinton is only 20 or so miles from New Haven, they can
go there to check out Yale; the Yale Center for British Art (http://britishart.yale.edu/)
; the Yale Art Gallery (http://artgallery.yale.edu/) and the Peabody
Museum of Natural History (http://peabody.yale.edu/) (with its Pulitzer
Prize winning dinosaur mural by my dear, late, friend Rudy Zallinger.)

is also near Mystic Seaport (http://www.mysticseaport.org/

Essex Steam Train (http://www.essexsteamtrain.com/); Gillette Castle
State Park, formerly the home of actor William Gillette, who portrayed
Sherlock Holmes on the stage; Connecticut’s Dinosaur State Park and the
Goodspeed Opera House (http://www.goodspeed.org) where “Annie” & “Man from
La Mancha” started before going to Broadway. Additionally, for those
that like to gamble – there are two, nearby, tribal run casinos (Foxwoods
& the Mohegan Sun). Three miles West is the nationally
acclaimed R.J.Julia Booksellers (http://www.rjjulia.com/).
And the fabulous Book Barn @ Niantic is just a few miles to the East,

The Burroughs Bibliophiles is
a nonprofit 501c(3) literary society which is devoted to the study of - and
promotion of interest in - the works, fictional characters and life
of Edgar Rice Burroughs. Burroughs is best known for his creation
of “Tarzan” and of the heroic Mars adventurer & warlord,
“John Carter” -- although he produced works in other genres as well.
He has been openly acknowledged by Ray Bradbury, George Lucas and James
Cameron, among others, as have greatly influenced their work.
Founded in 1960, just ten years after Burroughs’ death,
the Burroughs Bibliophiles sponsor an annual convention known
as a “Dum Dum”. As mentioned above, in 2015 this event
will be held at Clinton, Connecticut’s Andrews Memorial Town Hall,
August 20-23. The Dum Dum is being organized and hosted
by Peggy Adler and Harry Swaun, both of Clinton.
For more information about this Dum Dum in general, or to attend
the banquet, a registration form and other info is available
at www.ERBzine.com/dumdum and www.tarzan.com/meets, as well as at

The Fifth Heart by
Dan Simmons - Coming March 24!
In 1893, Sherlock Holmes and Henry James come to America
together to solve the mystery of the 1885 death of Clover Adams,
wife of the esteemed historian Henry Adams--member of the Adams
family that has given the United States two Presidents. Clover's
suicide appears to be more than it at first seemed; the suspected
foul play may involve matters of national importance.
Holmes is currently on his Great Hiatus--his three-year absence
after Reichenbach Falls during which time the people of
London believe him to be deceased. Holmes has faked his own
death because, through his powers of ratiocination, the great
detective has come to the conclusion that he is a fictional character.
This leads to serious complications for James--for if his esteemed
fellow investigator is merely a work of fiction, what
does that make him? And what can the master storyteller do
to fight against the sinister power -- possibly named Moriarty
-- that may or may not be controlling them from the shadows?

FUTURES PAST:
A Visual History of Science Fiction
1926: The Birth of Modern
Science Fiction
Now available
in e-book PDF format!
Welcome to one
of the largest and most ambitious projects ever attempted in the field of
science fiction. In the pages of FUTURES PAST we will be covering,
in detail, the birth and development of modern science fiction over its first
50 years – from 1926 to 1975. Designed in a yearbook format, each issue
of FUTURES PAST will cover all the works, people, organizations and events
in detailed chronological order.
Relive novels such as LAST AND FIRST MEN, GALACTIC
PATROL, and WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE all the
way to more recent classics such as 1984, DUNE,
and THE LEFT HAND OF DARKNESS.
Follow the early careers of legends such as
Bradbury, Clarke, Heinlein, Sturgeon, Asimov,
Leinster and many others, year by year, story
by story and novel by novel.
Learn about and even listen to hundreds of “old
time radio” plays produced for shows such
as DIMENSION X and BEYOND TOMORROW.
Attend the major conventions such as the first
Worldcon held in New York City in
1939. Read all the details, the award
winners and the activities. See photos and even
video taken at some of the later conventions.
Hear about it from the people who were there.
There will even be coverage of amateur clubs
and fanzines over the years, beginning
with THE COMET published in 1930 by the
Science Correspondence Club in Chicago.
Yes, every book, every magazine, every film,
convention, and so much more!
FUTURES PAST is dedicated to all those amazing
people who helped to shape our modern
world by giving us a sense of wonder, by showing
us possible futures and addressing social issues long
before they touched the mainstream, and by simply daring
to ask, “what if…” Our goal at FUTURES PAST is
to keep alive the people, works and memories of
a great genre and introduce them to a whole new generation
of readers, thinkers and dreamers.
When
completed, this series will be the most comprehensive history
of the field ever undertaken.
FUTURES PAST is available at the link below
as a PDF download for $6.00, as well as a
limited content review copy for FREE.
In the next few months we will be pursuing production
of physical editions for sale as well.

The Complete Ivy Frost
by Donald Wandrei
Cover Art by Raymond Swanland
Now available for pre-order!
It may come as a surprise to some that Donald Wandrei
wrote more mysteries than all his horror, fantasy, and science
fiction tales combined. This volume collects all eighteen
adventures of Wandrei’s ratiocinative detective I.V. Frost,
who is ably assisted by his beautiful and tough female assistant,
Jean Moray. A scientist and inventor, Frost has his own approach
to solving mysteries. Rather than following the usual hard-drinking,
trench-coated style of many of his contemporaries, Frost’s strategy
was to mix the logic of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes
with the technology of Lester Dent’s Doc Savage. In 2000, D.H. Olson
edited a volume published by Fedogan and Bremer collecting the
first eight of Frost’s adventures. A second volume of the remaining
10 tales was promised but never materialized.

Hard Case Crime
April 2015
THIEVES FALL OUT by Gore Vidal, Cover art by Glen Orbik
In 1953, Gore Vidal had already begun
writing the works that would launch him
to the top ranks of American authors and intellectuals.
But in the wake of criticism for the
scandalous content of his third novel, Vidal turned
to writing crime fiction under fake names: three
books as "Edgar Box" and one as "Cameron Kay." The Edgar
Box novels were subsequently republished under his real
name. The Cameron Kay never was.
Lost for more than 60 years and overflowing with
political and sexual intrigue, THIEVES FALL
OUT provides a delicious glimpse into the mind
of Gore Vidal in his formative years. By turns mischievous
and deadly serious, Vidal tells the story
of a man caught up in events bigger than he is, a down-on-his-luck
American hired to smuggle an ancient relic out of Cairo
at a time when revolution is brewing and heads
are about to roll.
One part Casablanca and one part torn-from-the-headlines
tabloid reportage, this novel also offers a startling
glimpse of Egypt in turmoil—written over
half a century ago, but as current as the news
streaming from that region today.
First publication in 60 years, and first ever
under the author’s real name!
The author of LINCOLN, BURR, MYRA BRECKINRIDGE and
other classics, Gore Vidal is one of the
most acclaimed American authors of the past
century

A GENT FROM BEAR CREEK
BRECKINRIDGE ELKINS, the gent from Bear
Creek, is one of the most engaging characters it has been our good fortune
to encounter for a very long time. Six and a half feet tall, possessing
the strength of an ox and the modesty of a Munchausen, Breckinridge
is the terror of the Humboldt Mountains. His adventures in Chawed Ear,
War Paint, Grizzly Claw and other roaring towns of the plains, are
related in the racy vernacular of the backwood and make most hilarious
and entertaining reading.
Here is a book of the Bret Harte vintage, so full of life
and so rich in touches of unconscious humor, that no one can fail to
come under the influence of the inimitable Breckinridge. Of one thing
we are certain, we have never read anything quite like A Gent from Bear
Creek before.
We present, in order of first publication
in ACTION STORIES, the first ten Breckinridge Elkins stories by Conan
author, Robert E. Howard.

Before he was a comic-book pioneer, Major
Malcolm-Wheeler Nicholson wrote adventure tales
for the great pulp magazines—and no run-of-the-mill
pulp fiction was it. The Major served as a
cavalry officer on the southwest border during
the Mexican Revolution. While the First World War
raged in Europe, he fought the Moro insurgency in
the southern Philippines. Then followed his strangest
assignment, conducting espionage in legendarily
hostile Siberia. After the war he was stationed
in Western Europe. These places became the settings
for the majority of his hardboiled adventure
stories. His use of authentic detail, combined with
his superior storytelling ability, make his stories difficult
to put down. You read one of the Major’s entrancing
tales—and your imagination is transported back to those
real places of danger and daring!
This inaugural collection of the Major’s fiction
includes stories set in all four of his
real-life arenas, originally published in
top adventure pulps: Adventure, Argosy, The
Popular Magazine. It is time for the Major to
receive his due—as one of the genuine larger-than-life
men of the pulps. Included is an in-depth introduction
by Nicky Wheeler-Nicholson, the Major’s granddaughter.
“Yes, Major Malcolm Wheeler-Nicholson
is one of the very, very few people responsible for the
birth of the comic book industry as
the visionary founder of what we today call
DC Comics. And, yes, Major Malcolm Wheeler-Nicholson is
one of the very, very few people responsible for giving
the world Superman.”
Michael Uslan,
Executive Producer of all the Batman movies,
Comic book historian, and author of his
memoir, The Boy Who Loved Batman.
“Not many adventure writers
can claim to have based their stories on their own exploits.
Malcolm Wheeler-Nicholson could—and because
of it, his evocations of heroism and combat have
a believability and a personal depth unlike anything else
in pulp fiction.”
Gerard Jones,
Author of Men of Tomorrow: Geeks, Gangsters
and the Birth of the Comic Book.

OLD VENUS - Now available!
by George R.R. Martin (Editor), Gardner Dozois (Editor)
Sixteen all-new stories by
science fiction’s top talents, collected by bestselling author
George R. R. Martin and multiple-award-winning editor Gardner
Dozois
From pulp adventures such as Edgar Rice Burroughs’s Carson of Venus
to classic short stories such as Ray Bradbury’s “The Long Rain” to
visionary novels such as C. S. Lewis’s Perelandra, the planet Venus
has loomed almost as large in the imaginations of science fiction
writers as Earth’s next-nearest neighbor, Mars. But while the Red
Planet conjured up in Golden Age science fiction stories was a place
of vast deserts and ruined cities, bright blue Venus was its polar opposite:
a steamy, swampy jungle world with strange creatures lurking amidst the
dripping vegetation. Alas, just as the last century’s space probes
exploded our dreams of Mars, so, too, did they shatter our romantic
visions of Venus, revealing, instead of a lush paradise, a hellish world
inimical to all life.
But don’t despair! This new anthology of sixteen original stories
by some of science fiction’s best writers—edited by #1 New York Times
bestselling author George R. R. Martin and award-winning editor
Gardner Dozois—turns back the clock to that more innocent time, before
the hard-won knowledge of science vanquished the infinite possibilities
of the imagination.
Join our cast of award-winning contributors—including Elizabeth Bear,
David Brin, Joe Haldeman, Gwyneth Jones, Mike Resnick, Eleanor
Arnason, Allen M. Steele, and more—as we travel back in time to a
planet that never was but should have been: a young, rain-drenched
world of fabulous monsters and seductive mysteries.

The Munsey Award
Every year, PulpFest recognizes the efforts
of those who work to keep the pulps alive for this and future generations
through its Munsey Award (pictured at left). Named after Frank
A. Munsey, the man who published the first pulp magazine, this annual
award recognizes an individual who has given of himself or herself
for the betterment of the pulp community, be it through disseminating
knowledge about the pulps or through publishing or other efforts to
preserve and to foster interest in the pulp magazines we all love and
enjoy. Nominations for the 2015 Munsey are now being accepted. All
members of the pulp community, whether they plan to attend PulpFest
2015 or not, are welcome to nominate a deserving person for this year’s
award.
|
|
You can also nominate someone for the Rusty
Hevelin Service Award. Initiated in 2012, this award is designed to recognize
those persons who have worked long and hard for the pulp community
with little thought for individual recognition. It is meant to reward
especially good works, and is thus reserved for only those individuals
who are most deserving.
Last year’s winners were J. Randolph Cox, who received the 2014
Munsey Award and J. Barry Traylor, recipient of the 2014 Rusty Hevelin
Service Award. You can read about both gentleman by clicking
here.
If you have someone in mind that you feel worthy to receive either
of these prestigious awards, please let us know. All members of
the pulp community, excepting past winners of the Munsey, Hevelin,
or Lamont Awards (which had been awarded by Pulpcon), are eligible.
Please send the person’s name and a brief paragraph describing why
you feel that person should be honored to Mike Chomko, 2217 W. Fairview
Street, Allentown, PA 18104-6542 or to mike@pulpfest.com. The deadline for
nominations is May 31, 2015. The recipient of the Munsey and/or Rusty
Hevelin Service Award will be selected by a panel of judges consisting
of recognized experts in the pulp field. The award will be presented
on August 15th, during the convention’s evening programming.
The Munsey Award was created by artist David Saunders, the son
of legendary illustrator Norman Saunders. Dan Zimmer of The Illustrated
Press and publisher of Illustration Magazine has produced a limited
edition of thirty-six numbered and signed prints. The PulpFest Committee
is indebted to both David and Dan for their generous support of our
convention.

Pulp Magazines
Project - Now online!
Publishing legends The Black Mask
(1920), Weird Tales (1923), and Amazing
Stories (1926) are considered
so “extremely rare and valuable” that the
U.S. Library of Congress houses its collection of
277 issues in Washington, D.C.’s Rare Book and
Special Collections Division—along with the personal
libraries of Presidents, medieval and Renaissance
manuscripts, and one of only three known
perfect copies of the Gutenberg Bible in existence.
With its latest addition of 4 issues of The
Black Mask (Aug. & Sept. 1920; Dec. 1921;
and Apr. 1922), the Pulp Magazines Project has
made all 3 classic titles available together—for
the first time—in high-quality, cover-to-cover
digital editions.
Also available at the Pulp Magazines Project,
new issues of the iconic “weird menace”
pulp, Dime Mystery Magazine (Apr. 1938
and Sept. 1946); Adventure (Jul. 1, 1928;
feat. Walt Coburn’s “The Man Who Hated Himself”);
Western Story (Jul. 27, 1940); Detective Story (May
1938; feat. Zorro-creator Johnston McCulley’s “Thubway
Tham’s Thothial Thecurity”); and histories of both
The Black Mask (E.R. Hagemann; UCLA) and Dime Mystery
Magazine (Emily Sisler; University of
West Florida).
The Pulp Magazines
Project is an open-access digital archive dedicated to the
study and preservation of one of the twentieth century's most influential
literary & artistic forms: the all-fiction pulpwood magazine. The
Project also provides information on the history of this important
but long neglected medium, along with biographies of pulp authors, artists,
and their publishers.
At the heart of the Project's
mission is the archive itself.
In summer 2011, it began with a modest
library of five representative first-generation
pulp titles from the early twentieth
century. Over time, the archive will expand,
new magazines will be digitized, and contextual
materials added. Eventually, the archive will
feature a broad range of pre-1923 titles,
post-1923 titles where copyright has lapsed, and full volume
runs of select titles from 1896 to 1946.
The Project is dedicated to fostering
ties between communities of collectors, fans,
and academics devoted to pulp magazines,
and will offer opportunities for research
and collaboration to both scholars and
enthusiasts alike. We will provide information
on upcoming conferences and conventions, and
promote new working relationships between academics and
the hundreds of pulp fans and collectors beyond the
college and university.
