Fun action and lots of degeneracy, all in the pursuit of 40 million dollars.

“The Consummata” (1967/2011) by Mickey Spillane and Max Allan Collins. Originally plotted by Spillane, Collins completed the novel several decades later. “The Consummata” is not Spillane’s best, but it’s quite entertaining especially in the third act.

@QnPatriot *in 1953.

[The Pulp Reader @ThePulpReader]

@QnPatriot Not really. It was developed on 1953 based on an old folk song. People think it was a resistance song.

The Race Williams story is probably my favorite of this anthology. Ed McBain’s short is effective but the ending feels a bit rushed.

Pulp Frictions” (1996) edited by Peter Haining. Quite an effective collection of shorts, many reprinted for the first time. The Mickey Spillane story is quite a different experience from his action-driven approach as it is more a Poe-esque psychological thriller.

From “Accident Report” (1953, short story) by Ed McBain.

@gerardtbaker Mr. Baker, I recommend that you follow up on your editorial by reading this outstanding post (which uses the famous meme as a title) about adventure reading:

[The Pulp Reader @ThePulpReader]

@gerardtbaker One of the reasons is that contemporary non-fiction is watered down, especially in the adventure/thriller genre. I read lots of fiction in the 1920-1960 span; it’s a world apart compared to the tame novels we get now. This in addition to politicization. (there are exceptions).

@AceRumble @horrormuseum We can only make a statement based on what we know. What we know is that it’s not making $$$, hence as of today it can’t be labeled a success, or even well-performing.

If someone labels it a success they should provide evidence of it.

[The Pulp Reader @ThePulpReader]

@AceRumble @horrormuseum I highly doubt that Disney/Marvel is fine with losing money and have high weekly drops on one the big franchise reboots.

The movie is definitely not a success. Will it kill the franchise? Probably not.
