Pulp: Still Not Dead

A little over a half a year ago, some friends and I experimented with a group blog. While it didn't take off as we'd hoped, I did manage a few posts covering the current state of what's available pulp-wise and what was on my reading list:

• A pulp geek's reading list
• More of the pulp geek's reading list
• No one reads that old stuff anymore
• Quick hits

So it's probably time for a brief update...

• Moonstone Books has acquired the rights to do a series of prose anthologies featuring The Green Hornet and Kato, with illustrations and art direction by Ruben Procopio. Heh. :-)
• The first in a series of Gabriel Hunt books comes out in May.
• The Casebook of Sexton Blake comes out in March, edited by David Stuart Davies with stories selected by and introduced by Blakiana's Mark Hodder. This new anthology contains seven stories, all republished for the first time:

The Man From Scotland Yard by Michael Storm

The Law of the Sea by William Murray Graydon
