The Upcoming BLOOD ‘N’ THUNDER
Scheduled for debut at next month’s Windy City Pulp and Paper Convention, the upcoming double issue of Blood ‘n’ Thunder (36/37, Winter/Spring 2013) boasts more contributors than any previous number of the magazine. The distinguished roster includes old favorites as well as new additions to our Writers Brigade. And the issue itself has everything BnT […]
READ MORE >>H. Bedford-Jones: King Of The Pulps
Today’s pulp-fiction devotees, born during the Baby Boom years (1946 to 1964), are too young to have bought rough-paper magazines on the newsstands and therefore gravitate primarily to those characters whose life spans were extended by Sixties paperback reprints and frequent appearances in other media: Conan, Tarzan, Doc Savage, The Shadow, and so on. Lester […]
READ MORE >>Coming Soon, Classic Pulp Reprints #5: THE ISLAND, J. Allan Dunn’s Exciting Sequel To BAREHANDED CASTAWAYS
By popular demand, Murania Press in April will release The Island, J. Allan Dunn’s 1922 sequel to Barehanded Castaways, arguably his finest work of pulp fiction. Our trade-paper edition of Castaways, first published in a 1920 issue of the pulp magazine Adventure, has been the top-selling title in Murania’s Classic Pulp Reprints series, and appreciative […]
READ MORE >>THE BEST OF BLOOD ‘N’ THUNDER VOLUME 2 — Coming Next Month!
Coming from Murania Press early next month is the long-awaited sequel to our top-selling 2011 collection of material from the first ten issues of Blood ‘n’ Thunder. For more than a decade, BnT has explored American popular culture of the late 19th and early 20th centuries as manifested in its mass-market fiction—dime novels, nickel weeklies, […]
READ MORE >>Coming Soon: WILDERNESS TRAIL
The fourth volume in Murania’s Classic Pulp Reprints series is about to go to press and will ship early next month. It’s a crackerjack novel by one of pulp fiction’s true giants. In 1810, the still-young United States of America continues its westward expansion as a national economy begins to flourish. But the country’s commerce […]
READ MORE >>Battening Down The Hatches….
The last few weeks have been extremely chaotic for me, which is why I haven’t updated this blog much since returning from California earlier this month. Yesterday I moved from my home of the last 18 years after spending two frenzied weeks packing up my collection and carting it to storage. My condo, which had […]
READ MORE >>A “Major” Pulp Reprint Series
Given the tireless efforts of small-press publishers to get vintage pulp fiction back into print over the last decade, I often wondered why L. Patrick Greene’s Africa-based adventure stories had been overlooked. From 1919 until 1947 (with six years off for World War II service) Greene chronicled the exploits of Aubrey St. John Major, who […]
READ MORE >>Coming Soon: BLOOD ‘N’ THUNDER’S GUIDE TO PULP FICTION
Almost five years to the day of its publication, The Blood ‘n’ Thunder Guide to Collecting Pulps has been retired to make room for a greatly revised and expanded edition. Blood ‘n’ Thunder’s Guide to Pulp Fiction will be available this December, just in time for the holiday gift-giving season. At nearly 350 pages, the […]
READ MORE >>Now, THIS Is A Fan Letter….
It’s always great to get feedback from readers of Murania Press publications, although much of it comes in the form of terse e-mails or brief notes accompanying subscription renewals (“Keep up the good work” . . . “Loved the last issue”). But every now and then I get a hum-dinger of a letter. One such […]
