The mag sounds great but the review seemed kind of odd to me. The reviewer kept referencing a kind of 'pulp aesthetic' that some of the stories met and others did not. I'm not sure what he wanted from the stories or how he could find some better/more enjoyable than others based on that. I wonder what Morgan would have thought of the mag. But I think that of most everything reviewed by anyone else on that site. |

Bryce Beattie's Storyhack #0 is going live! Get in on the pulpy goodness. And the Kickstarter for Issue #1 has started; Not only is the Kickstarter live, but #0 is FREE just to show everyone what Storyhack is all about: storyhack.com/issuezero/Ya can't lose! 
"In shadowed and dusty corners of the internet, people have discovered the great pulp authors of yesteryear. I'm talking storytellers like like Robert E. Howard, Edgar Rice Burroughs, and Leigh Brackett. Writers whose stories have life and action and passion. Stories with characters like The Shadow, Doc Savage, and Buck Rogers. It's almost like people have rediscovered the fact that reading short stories can actually be fun.
Every time I ran across other pulp-era fans my love for that type of fiction was rekindled.
At some point it occurred to me - maybe there are great writers out there still writing this stuff - perhaps there's just no where to publish it.
This thought birthed a dream. That dream devised a plan. That plan is conjuring itself into reality. That reality has a name:
StoryHack Action & Adventure.
And you can help make it happen."
--Bryce Beattie, editor and publisher of StoryhackThe PulpRev is coming.  |

Before the recent resurgence, there were people out there cranking out new fiction in the pulp tradition. Charles Ardai established the Hard Case Crime publishing house to get new hardboiled pulp fiction out there. After that was a success, he looked to revive full-on, pulp-style adventure. To do that, he created the character of Gabriel Hunt. He then tapped veteran Neo-Pulpster and REH fan, James Reasoner, to write the first novel: www.latimes.com/entertainment/la-caw-dark-passages30-2009aug30-story.html |

Yes. That is a solid review. I agree with all of it. I also found "Daughter of Heaven" to be a bump in the road and an odd choice. Aside from the problems noted in the review, as straight storytelling goes, it suffers from a reactive protagonist. Carter doesn't do anything, he just witnesses everything. The rest of the tales were good to excellent, though. |

Good interview with editor/publisher, Bryce Beattie: delarroz.com/?p=1025&utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=facebookI love everything I’ve ever laid eyes on by Robert E. Howard. Besides the easily recognizable stuff like Conan and Solomon Kane, I dig the supernatural horror Conrad & Kirowan stories, the Sailor Steve Costigan fight stories, the westerns, all of it.
Reading A Princess of Mars is actually what made me want to start writing. So Edgar Rice Burroughs will always be a favorite.

Ron Fortier's retro-pulp hero, Brother Bones, has been optioned for an independent film. The Kickstarter has some cool perks:  |

And one of those authors is me, under my real name of Christopher M. Chupik. That's very cool, Almuric! Not just for yourself, but also for the REH boards. At this point, I can think of at least 3 people here who have recently been published in pulp-related anthologies: you, Jason and PaulMC. Keep the movement rolling and make REH proud. |
