I'll pound you to a "Pulp" if you don't show off yours! 23 23

With The New Annotated H. P. Lovecraft (2014) currently on the reading table (massive tome, I'm enjoying it a lot), what are your learned opinions as to some of the best pulps that contain Lovecraft stories?

Hi Steve,

Here are the major Lovecraft story appearances I've been able to acquire. Some of his earlier major stories (Dagon, The Nameless City, Herbert West - Reanimator) are very hard to obtain because they were published in small press publications.

At the Mountains of Madness

Astounding Stories, Feb 1936 (Part 1. Parts 2 and 3 are in Mar and Apr issues)

 

 

The Shadow Out of Time

Astounding Stories, Jun 1936

 

 

Pickman's Model

Weird Tales, Oct 1927

 

 

The Call of Cthulhu

Weird Tales, Feb 1928

Very helpful Todd, thank you!

 

I'd be interested in all those issues, if I could find them with half-way decent paper.

 

Copy that regarding the small press publications (e.g., The Vagrant of which I've never seen a copy, but would love to get one).

 

The New Annotated H.P. Lovecraft is a wonderful new book, only $28 on Amazon which for such a large work is quite a bargain.

The March, 1928 issue of Tales of Magic and Mystery contains Lovecraft's "Cool Air."

Great group of pulps, Todd.

Never even heard of this - thanks for the tip.

Never seen one of those either just great BZ

Bedsheet - 1933

Digests - don't have to deal with overhang, just the everyday stuff we're used to. Cute and small, fits right into your pocketbook. I mean, your wife's pocketbook. My wife's pocketbook.

 

If you're not old enough to know what a pocketbook is, you shouldn't be buying pulps!

 

 

[Dr. Love]

 

I now know this is the newbie's pulp - Famous Fantastic Mysteries. Plentiful, sick covers, relatively inexpensive. Trimmed? Most dealers don't tell. For $20, I don't ask. I like a neat book.

Just when I thought I was out, they dragged me back in. My wife goes, Now what the hell is this stuff? I thought you were done with comics.

 

Wake up and smell the pulp, babe.

Nice looking group of pulps/digests, Dr. Love.

 

They all have attractive covers, but I'm especially fond of this Amazing cover illustration. It's so atypical of the average SF cover.

Bedsheet - 1933

 

 

I prefer the bedsheet size to regular (or digest) size on these.

 

Being a PQ guy, finding these old books with halfway decent paper is the main reason why my pulp collection is so small.

Lovely!

Everyday Astrology: is it a pulp? Published by Better along with the others, trimmed in production with no overhang. Does content drive the designation - fiction is, non-fiction isn't? Is Radio Craft considered a pulp, or just a technical magazine?

Hey Finlay was a master! Paul gets all the love but give me some Finlay any time!

Question: do you guys read these, or just collect them? I bought a Shadow pulp on a whim, but I'm concerned the spine isn't going to hold up to me opening it very wide. Suggestions?

[Pat Calhoun]

I read in pulps a lot and it's great, but fragile books aren't the best format for casual reading- perhaps especially if a lowering of grade meant a significant dollar decrease. Many pulps are fragile, but there are many midgrade solid copies of fun and cool stuff as well.
