💙📚 Read this week: LAIR OF THE WHITE WORM by Bram Stoker (Seek out the original 40 chapter version. The truncated 28 chapter version is not only [more] incomprehensible, it also adds tons of extra racism.) Wrote this week: Started a short story about a seance, and its unpleasant results.

📚💙 In pulp's heyday it wasn't unusual for an editor to commission an attention-grabbing cover first, then task one of his writers with crafting a story around the image. So what would YOU spin out of this theoretical cover? Ribbit! 🐸

🩸📚💙 The entire scenario that plays out in my lovecraftian zombie novel DEADBURBIA occurs because a character in a completely different novel did something short-sighted and careless. Can you trace the connection? 40+ stories • 1 shared universe All titles: books2read.com/braddsibbersen

📚💙 All the businesses were boarded up, but she could tell what a lot of them had been before they died. The barbershop. The pharmacy. Diner. Gas station. Everything – the buildings, the bridge, the river, even the sky – was the color of rust.

The first and most important step is to learn and internalize Heinlein's Rules (look 'em up). The second step is to ignore any revisionist twat who says "Well, what he REALLY meant by Rule No. 3 is..." Zip it, revisionist twat. He meant what he said, period. Accept this and you're halfway there.

Read this week: MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS by Agatha Christie (illustrated here with bunnies!) Wrote this week: Wrapping up my Hercules story. Next up: ectoplasm!

"Shocked, I am, that no one is taking advantage of this opportunity! Don't you want to know how many alternate realities you were less successful in?"

📚💙 Never trust a magic user in a roaming barbarian/swordsman novel. Especially if she's a beautiful woman. (I've gone and subverted this one already, because, hello, sexist. Also magicist, assuming that's a thing.)

📚💙 The crazy sci-fi bomb that causes all the trouble in my buddy cop thriller BOMBED? That abandoned lab it's stolen from in the opening chapter is subtly identified in the text as a Madiport Island University satellite lab...colloquially known as Mad Science U. www.amazon.com/Bombed-Brad-...

📚💙 If there's one installment of Pulp: you don't want to miss...it's this one. Ebook already on sale everywhere, paperback populating stores even as you read this. www.amazon.com/dp/B0G7VDJW59

It could only be what it appeared to be: a spirit, some damned, shipwrecked soul, somehow, inexplicably, trapped in the ice. But just as the bulk of an iceberg lies hidden, invisible, beneath the waves...how many more of THEM were imprisoned in the forever darkness below???

🪐📚💙 The second chapter of THE PRINCESS THAT ATE DRAGONS is almost verbatim a dream I had in high school, with one notable exception: in the dream Sir Hops-a-Lot the talking rabbit was a talking cat; specifically, the cat I owned at the time. R.I.P. White Death. You were a good kitty.

📚💙 Read this week: THE FINAL GIRL SUPPORT GROUP by Grady Hendrix Wrote this week: More of my Hercules story, which is getting weirder and more deranged as it goes... Other news: Look for a new Pulp Omniverse release later this week!

"I'll take the first five questions."

This basically explains my dating life. #pulpomniverse

Okay, so here's an Easter egg that wasn't. Originally, the events in the fantasy adventure THE PRINCESS THAT ATE DRAGONS were going to reflect the storyline of the D&D campaign the kids are running in WELCOME TO MAD SCIENCE U. I decided that was a bit too clever by half though, and dropped the idea.

📚💙 So hard-baked into the genre that locating a pulp fantasy adventure novel that doesn't have an epic quest at its core is a nigh-hopeless quest in itself. Hoping to buck this trend with my next Neth & Sir Hops-a-Lot installment. Stay tuned. 🐇

For the third time this month Brenna woke up not knowing when she was. She couldn't stop seeing it: two distinct, incompatible actions, occurring simultaneously, chronal ghosts impossibly layered one atop the other. Barely, she stifled a scream. Time travel, it appeared, had driven her insane... 🪐📚💙

A quick Pulp Omniverse Easter egg: At one point in WELCOME TO MAD SCIENCE U, one of the leads wears a shirt with a bunch of random numbers on it...except they're not random, at all. Here's a hint: 8 • Want more? Link in bio.

💙📚 It definitely would've benefitted this guy to know the statue comes to life when you try to take the amulet. It's my fantasy character Neth's big flaw: he rarely asks enough questions, and when he does he doesn't understand the answers. Luckily his talking rabbit partner is quicker on the uptake.

🩸📚💙 The King in Yellow, the Necronomicon, the Darkhold... Pulp writers love their mysterious, evil books, and naturally there's one floating around my Pulp Omniverse too. It's been quoted and briefly mentioned, but hasn't made an actual appearance...yet.

10+ hour day today laying out the paperback version of PULP: MYSTERY, the fourth entry in the Pulp: series. Look for it in mid December.

🪐📚💙 What does everyone think? Tan or yellow?
