Pulp Fiction

The Golden Age of Storytelling

By: Dr. Elliott Haimoff

Narrated by: Phil Proctor

This audiobook, Pulp Fiction: The Golden Age of Storytelling, profiles an era of magazine fiction writing in the 1920s, 30s, and 40s, for people gripped by the tremendous need of escapism in the post-WWI years and the Great Depression. These writers shaped American culture and created iconic characters who live today in some of the biggest blockbuster Hollywood movies.

What makes this audiobook absolutely unique is that this story includes actual interviews with two of the super-heavyweight grand-masters of that era, Ray Bradbury and Fred Pohl. Also featured are the actual interviews with one of the biggest publishers of reprinted stories from that period, John Goodwin of Galaxy Press, as well as Otto Penzler of Mysterious Bookshop, who edited several pulp-era anthologies. This audiobook also includes the actual uncut and unfiltered interviews with present-day award-winning authors and screenwriters, Tim Powers and Marc Zicree, who discuss the myriad ways that they, and many of their colleagues, were all influenced by the literary style of those writers of the golden age of storytelling.

Very bad quality

It wasn’t even edited. You can hear the reader do multiple takes. The interviews weren’t edited either.

About a third of it was solely on L Ron Hubbard for some reason.
