Pure Pulp
A second skimming of the same deep vats that provided the harvest for the editors American Pulp (1997) produces a behemoth collection of 25 more oldies spanning 40 years, from 1944 (Leigh Brackett) to 1984 (Joe L. Hensley), running from 4 pages (Lawrence Block) to 148 (Peter Rabe), and resembling each other only in being as dark, tawdry, exciting, and stylishly desolate as a city street at midnight.  --Copyright ©1999, Kirkus Associates, LP.
