About the Pulp Fiction Collection Our modern popular culture would not exist in its current form without the enormous influence of pulp fiction. So named due to the cheap wood-pulp paper used in the printing process, pulp magazines brought affordable fiction options to the masses. This collection attempts to create a modernized version of these magazines, taking the short stories from each public domain issue and assembling them in a more modern collection format.

Excerpt from Weird Tales, Vol. 1 of 2 It was at this stage of the proceedings that I came to H and it was highly amusing to see how hun dreds of people stood round about the garden and raised a loud shout whenever the stones flew out and a new window appeared where noboby had for a moment expected it. And in the same manner Krespel pro ceeded with the buildings and fittings of the rest of th[\ house, and with all the Work necessary to that end; everything had to be done on the spot in accordance with the instructions which the Councillor gave from time to time. However, the absurdity of the whole business, the growing conviction that things would in the end turn out better than might have been expected, but above all, Krespel's generosity - which indeed cost him nothing - kept them all in good-humour. Thus were the difficulties overcome which necessarily arose out of this eccentric way of building, and in a short time there was a completely finished house, its outside.

"Hi! hi! hi! hi!" chuckled the old woman; "why do you begin to despair so soon? Why lose heart so quickly? You are thirsty and hungry, but I can help you. Here are a few fine dried fish which I bought only to-day in the Mint; here is lemon-juice and a piece of nice white bread; eat, my son; and then we will look at the wounded arm." And the old woman proceeded to bring forth fish, bread, and lemon juice from the bag which hung like a hood down her back, and also projected right above her bent head. As soon as Antonio had moistened his parched and burning lips with the cool drink, he felt the pangs of hunger return with double fury, and he greedily devoured the bread and the fish.Meanwhile the old woman was busy unwrapping the rags from his wounded arm, and it was found that, tho...
