Next Week: BLOOD ‘N’ THUNDER Volume Two, Number Two

We’re now accepting orders for the second issue of the revived Blood ‘n’ Thunder! Volume Two, Number Two begins shipping next Friday, November 1st. Interest in BnT‘s new incarnation remains strong, and the feedback we’ve received to date indicates reader satisfaction with the new format and price point. If this issue gets the same reception […]

The BLOOD ‘N’ THUNDER Revival Will Continue!

We recently published a “Volume Two, Number One” of Blood ‘n’ Thunder as a trial balloon, giving the zine a smaller format and a cheaper price point. The response thus far has been extremely gratifying, with initial sales stronger than anticipated. After printing up what we thought would be a sufficient quantity for the recent […]

BLOOD ‘N’ THUNDER Back-Issue Availability

Here’s a heads-up for readers and collectors of Blood ‘n’ Thunder: Individual back issues will be removed from the Murania Press catalog on December 31st.

Now Available for Shipping: THE BLOOD ‘N’ THUNDER SAMPLER

Blood ‘n’ Thunder last year ceased publication as a periodical, and I’ve been an abject failure at keeping this blog updated, but that doesn’t mean I’ve been sitting on my hands. Far from it!

BLOOD ‘N’ THUNDER Policy Change

As of today Blood ‘n’ Thunder‘s subscription policy is changing to reflect a decision I recently came to. BnT will cease publication as a periodical next year with issue #50, scheduled for Fall 2016.

BLOOD ‘N’ THUNDER #45 Is on the Way!

As of this writing the final subscriber copies of the latest BnT have been ordered and are being shipped directly from the printer. I got some of them in the mail before leaving for PulpFest, but most were ordered this week once I’d returned from Columbus and decompressed for a day or two. Those of you who don’t already have your […]

BLOOD ‘N’ THUNDER #45 Preview

The Summer 2015 issue (#45) of Blood ‘n’ Thunder will debut in August at this year’s PulpFest, and here’s what you can expect to find inside: The cover story/feature article takes a detailed look at the classic Munsey and Popular Publications pulp Famous Fantastic Mysteries.  Frankly, I was stuck for a lead article, but after several people […]

Another Milestone for Murania Press

I’ve just finished looking at the monthly sales report for May and am happy to report that, as of last month, more than 1,000 copies of The Blood ‘n’ Thunder Guide to Pulp Fiction have now been sold. That’s not bad for a small-press “niche” product released a year and a half ago with no […]
