It is packed full of essays by the pulp writers themselves, written during the height of the pulps. I gladly paid $80 for The Graduate Fictioneer by Bedford-Jones after reading Secrets of the Worlds' Best-Selling Writer which discusses Erle Stanley Gardner. I can't get enough about writing for the pulps. <br /><br />Maybe I'm in the minority, but I had never heard of Blood 'n' Thunder. I wish I had known about Blood 'n' Thunder years ago, though I'm glad I know about in now. Better late than never.

The Baby Boom shifted markets all over the place. The trend you discuss here looks like a scrubbing of sex in the 50s and 60s to placate parents worried about their kids' exposure to skeevy SFF. Then, once the Boomers were old enough to choose their own stuff, they went whole hog on the sexy times, burned out by the nineties and turned the market towards old man thinky pieces and self-congratulatory back patting.<br /><br />Not sure, just spitballing.JonMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07705424889025942210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2715762901764173481.post-36663195735424810492018-12-03T18:08:41.088-08:002018-12-03T18:08:41.088-08:00I had never heard of a problem with weird menace s...I had never heard of a problem with weird menace stories before. I tend to like detective stuff that deals with weird menace. Are there any commonly available resources that discuss what happened in depth? BTW, I like Kuttner's work.<br /><br />I wonder if something like this, changing the style of Sci-Fi, is the reason I can't stand anything after the 50's or so; too serious for me. Give me more Star Wars please. I prefer my Science more Fantastic and less Realistic.<br /><br />Side Note: Imagine my surprise when I found that pulp Buck F-ing Rogers isn't in space.
