Hat tip to PL assistant editor Brooklyn Hook who sent this preview of Pulp Literature No. 33:
Cover artist Bronwyn Schuster’s Space Cat ricochets us into a pinball-inspired future with our feature author Kate Heartfield. Chickens, candles, fairies, dogs, and doctors leave traces on our hearts in inspired short fiction from Krista Jane May, Anne Baldo, Monica Wang, Lulu Keating, and Kimberley Aslett. The Hummingbird winners flit across the page, and JM Landels and Mel Anastasiou give us a taste of their new novels.
