Featuring a never-before published cover by Norman Saunders, the King of the Pulp Artists! Pulp Adventures pushes the envelope again with a mash-up of horror, western, mystery, and romance! Charles Boeckman, the jazz musician turned pulp author of "Strictly Poison and Other Stories," delivers a tale of music and hatred with "Murder, Maestro, Please!" Boeckman's stories of sad losers attempting to elevate their lot in life was perfect for hardboiled tastes of the 1950s. He was a frequent contributor to digest fiction magazines like Manhunt, Justice! and Homicide. Two stories by David Wright O'Brien: "The Fantastic Twins" is a farce about an ad-copy writer given a special gift, while "Afraid to Live" takes a more serious tone with the reporter protagonist racing against time to save potential suicide victims. More pulp classics include "Killer Wanted -- First Class" by Geoffrey North, and "The Word Wranglers" by Stephen Payne. Modern stories by Michael Bracken, Geoffrey North, David Bernard, John E. Petty, Dan McCarthy, C.J. Henderson and Johnny Strike.
