I dig pulp fiction. Not just the hard-boiled detective paperbacks of the 1950s, or even the pulp magazines like “Weird Tales,” which published Robert E. Howard and H.P. Lovecraft back in the day. I even love the old old school Victorian “chapbooks,” like “Springheeled Jack” and “Varney the Vampire.” The plan to release ”The Elect Stories” as a monthly serial was inspired by those pulps, which delivered fantastic tales of adventure with suspenseful, cliffhanger endings.
