Big Pulp: The Purloined Pearl, (Paperback)

Each issue of Big Pulp is packed with fun, thought-provoking and exciting genre fiction and poetry from the best writers from around the globe. Featuring both award-winning and emerging authors, Big Pulp publishes fantasy, horror, science fiction, mystery and romance fiction, in a modern amalgam of the classic newsstand of the golden age of pulp and popular fiction. This issue begins with James Penha's "The Purloined Pearl," in which an Indonesian fisherman steals a dragon's pearl for his lover, and must pay the price for his avarice. In this issue's fantasy section, readers will also meet a paranormal antique collector with "A Good Eye," in Beth Cato's humorous short story; and "The Slaves of Cortagne," in James F.W. Rowe's poem about an ancient market where all manner of goods can be found. This issue also features "Uvlechenie," a tale of Russian asteroid miners by DeAnna Knippling; "Mercer's Ghost," an eerie tale of old west vengeance, by Milo James Fowler; "Aunt Anika's Unicorn Horn," a light mystery set in 17th century Amsterdam by Anna Sykora; and the blackly humorous "There Was Something We Didn't See in the Dark," by Belgian writer Thomas Gunzig (translated by Edward Gauvin), in which a group of friends on their way to a party encounter a beautiful woman on a dark, deserted road, with disastrous results. The rest of the issue is packed with more great science fiction, mystery, horror and romance fiction by David Cybulski, Jen Conley, Tony Haynes, Shannon Schuren, John Davies, Libby Cudmore, Chanté McCoy, Jason Radak, Harri B. Cradoc, Ian D. Smith, Andrew McLinden, Jeffrey Caminsky, John Medaille, Adam Miller, Aliya Whiteley, and Wayne Scheer, and poetry by Joanna M. Weston, Bruce Golden, and Elizabeth Barrette.
