The Shadow novels
|
| |
I've recently acquired a large number of The Shadow old time radio shows and have started listening to them, and it has renewed my interest in reading the original novels.

|
| |
Following the 2008 Pulpcon, I came home with a feeling of hope that things were finally going to change and Pulpcon would start reversing its recent losses. Now, nearly two months later, that feeling of hope is gone. For a number of years, Jack Cullers, Barry Traylor, and I have been pushing for changes in the way that Pulpcon is run. For years, our pleas have... more »

Destroyer
|
| |
Just came across Dr. Hermes's scan of "Created: the Destroyer" -- nice to see it again. Reading a couple of the reviews of early Destroyer books, I'll mention my theory about the series: somewhere along the way during the first ten or so books, one of the partners (Murphy and Sapir) looked at the other one and said, "you know, this... more »
