Review: Pulp Ink

 

Blurb: PULP INK is the bizarre, chaotic side of crime fiction. From an ass-kicking surfer on acid to an idiot savant hitboy, these tales are dark, funny, action-packed and told with all the gleeful insanity of a Tarantino flick.  You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll roll into the fetal position and beg for mercy. So sit back. Pour yourself a cup of joe, crack a beer, tie off – whatever you need to get comfortable – and get ready for a dose after dose of pulp action.

Review: A fun conceit — filling in all the background noise of what’s happening between the lines of the PULP FICTION soundtrack. Terrific efforts all around, some of surprising gruesomeness and hilarity, too. Too many good stories to choose just one, but among my faves the ones by MacArthur, Beetner, Brazill, Ayris, Rhatigan and Horsley. But no clunkers — for a slightly gimmicky conceit to kick things off, the writers have picked up the threads and run far. A fine collection at a bargain price.

  2. Not gonna say a word about “tie off”. Have no idea what you’re sayin’ there.

    • I dinna write the blurb, so I take no responsibility for that.

  3. nicely spoken
