Pulp Literature Autumn 2024 - Kate Heartfield

Ceren of the Surf, one of cover artist Bronwyn Schuster's Knights of the Drowned Table, guards the watery portal to our autumn offerings. But more than water flows past the dead in feature author Kate Heartfield's chilling tale of corporate cover-ups, 'The Investigation Is Sealed'. Ravens, monsters, and zombies steal the show - and a few souls - in 'A Fair Exchange' by Tom Jolly, 'Liar's Leap' by Jonathan Sean Lyster, and 'Bad Backup' by Mikayla Fawcett and Gabriel Craven. Meanwhile, artistic adventures in celluloid, paint, and spider's silk await in 'The Painting' by Alan Sincic, 'The Projectionist' by Lisa Alo Seaman, and 'A Weaver's Web' by Barry Charman. The smell of goats and the secrets of ghosts haunt the pages of 'The Shepherdess: Narbonne' by JM Landels and 'Take My Hand: Enter Night' by Mel Anastasiou. And poetry from our Magpie Award Winners Angela Rebrec, Cicely Grace, and Veronika Gorlova reminds us that even the darkest of nights ends in sunrise.
