AS TARTARY BURNS by Riley Hogan. Appears to be very much in the Harold Lamb/REH tradition. Review by Ron Fortier: airship27.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/as-tartary-burns.html Description: SWORDS AND MAGIC For generations, the freedom loving Cossacks battled their enemies; the Ottoman Turks and Crimean Tartars for the supremacy of the rugged Steppes. Frustrated by the constant raids of these reckless, horse-riding warriors, Constantinople prepares a major campaign that will end the Cossacks and their way of life forever. Realizing they are severely outnumbered against such a Turkish reprisal, the Cossack Headsman seeks out the sorcerer Alexsandr with a bold scheme. He wants Alexsandr to enter the realms of magic and enlist the aid of magical creatures of Slavic myth as allies. With the help of his friend, Commander Marko and the battle-hardened Bohun, the wizard must summon all his skills, both martial and arcane, to fulfill his sacred mission and in doing so save his people. In the grand tradition of Robert E. Howard and Harold Lamb, writer Riley Hogan spins a tale of tested comrades about to risk all in a dangerous quest that, if they survive, could lead to the greatest victory in Cossack history. |

Could be cool. The premise/plot sounds good, so it all depends on whether Hogan has the writing chops to pull it off. I'm certainly rootin' for the guy.  |

An update from Douglas Draa of Weirdbook:
"I'll be putting the first 'Witches Themed Annual' proof together and sending it to the publisher next weekend. This'll be the 14th or 15th. Then I'll announce the TOC. I'm hoping that we publish as early as possible in October in plenty of time for Halloween and because a regular issue is coming out in November. I also want this off the table as quickly as possible since submissions reopen on the 1st of October."The special "Witches" issue sounds cool. Any aspiring pulp horror/fantasy authors should note that submissions for Weirdbook open back up on on October first. I sat up and took increased notice of Weirdbook when John Fultz called it the new Weird Tales. Draa has been punching out issue after issue in a fashion that defies genre standards and has kicked the magazine's profile up considerably. And he's open for submissions on the first of October. Swing for that pitch, dog-brethren! Update from Draa on submissions: "Fast approaching 250 submissions."There's a 12-day window still open. Here's Weirdbook's submissions link: weirdbook-magazine.com/submissions/ |

Glad to hear Reasoner is still at it. Sad that the Gabriel Hunt series ended, though.

The Pulp and Dagger website was out there pushing new, pulp-style fiction long before it became cool to do so. The site is no longer active, but the stories are still there: www.pulpanddagger.com/pulpmag/contents.htmlP&D founder, BK Latta, has an ongoing blog here: pulpanddagger.com/blog/I raise a glass in honor of one of the forerunners of the PulpRev.  |

Howard written by Howard Andrew Jones. /posts/2017332 PulRevver, Nathan Housley aka the Pulp Archivist, is supporting TFtMS as are many others in the PulpRev scene: thepulparchvist.blogspot.com/2017/11/tales-from-magicians-skull-kickstarter.htmlI just pledged myself. Y'all should be jumping in to get on the ground floor of something very cool. This is an outstanding example of the pulp ethos pushing back into the cultural mainstream. Only 11 hours left. |

Jesse Abraham Lucas and the rest of the stalwarts at PulpRev.com have published their PulpRev Sampler. Get the info here: www.pulprev.com/2017/10/the-pulprev-sampler-is-here-get-yours.htmlDepending on which option you take, the price is $1 or free. Some of the authors, like Wright and West, are well established in the SFF field. Virtually all of them have been published somewhere. I've read works from a good 3/4 of these people and they're solid. Like I said, all it costs is a dollar...or not even that. The PulpRev is here.  |

Has anybody seen the cover of the forthcoming Weirdbook #37?
All of their covers since Douglas Draa's reboot have been good, but I caught a glimpse of this one and it about bowled me out of my chair.
Should Weirdbook have it's own thread?
There hasn't been a fantasy magazine with this kind of continuous momentum since... I dunno...Fantastic back in the 70's?
Truly fine to see it roll on.
