So I had a rabbit hole experience when I ran across an article on a novella called The Madness of Frankenstein by Derrick Ferguson which was labeled as New Pulp. My brain ground to an immediate halt because, while I could kind of guess, I wanted to know exactly what New Pulp was. So, of course, I searched for an explanation and found a publisher site that just blows my mind.
a new old thing
OK, first the definition of New Pulp:
What is New Pulp? For Pro Se, the explanation is fairly simple. New Pulp is fiction written with the same sensibilities, beats of storytelling, patterns of conflict, and creative use of words and phrases of original Pulp, but crafted by modern writers, artists, and publishers. New stories with either completely original characters or new tales of established characters from Pulp past. It’s really that simple. New Pulp is Pulp written today.

Romances! Fantasy! Science Fiction! Super Heroes! Once I got over the overload all this put on my brain I knew I am so there. So much so that I had to try one of their novellas.
