PulpFest is a paradise for fans of pulp magazines, digests, vintage paperbacks, original artwork, and other collectibles. Collectors will also find first edition hardcovers, men’s adventure and true crime magazines, series books, dime novels, Big Little Books, B-movies, serials and related paper collectibles, old-time-radio shows, vintage comic books, and more in our spacious dealers’ room. We’re at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Pittsburgh – Cranberry, just nineteen miles north of Pittsburgh.
For those who simply like to read pulp or genre fiction, you’ll find science-fiction hardcovers and paperbacks, mysteries, adventure fiction, and countless pulp reprints from publishers such as Adventure House, Age of Aces, Altus Press, Meteor House, Sanctum Books, and Stark House Press. Fans of contemporary fiction will have readings by authors on both Friday and Saturday, plus books for sale from Will Murray’s Adventures in Bronze, Flinch Books, Raw Dog Screaming Press, and other publishers.
In addition to our great dealers’ room, PulpFest 2019 will hold a live auction on Saturday night.
Accommodating over 100 tables, our dealers’ room will be open from 10 AM to 4:45 PM on August 16 and 17. It will be open from 9 AM until 2 PM on Sunday, August 18. Sunday buying and selling opportunities may be limited as many dealers will be packing to return home.
We will also have early-bird shopping on Thursday evening, August 15, from 4 to 8 PM. If you stay at the DoubleTree, PulpFest is pleased to offer free early-bird privileges. That’s a great savings to reward loyal attendees who reduce the convention’s costs by staying at our host hotel. If you stay elsewhere, you can still purchase early-bird privileges for $30.
You can book a room at the DoubleTree by clicking the “Book a Room” button below the PulpFest banner on our home page. You can also reserve a room by calling 1-800-222-8733. Be sure to mention PulpFest to receive the special convention rate of $129 plus tax per night.

If you read or collect pulps, genre fiction, books, vintage paperbacks or comic books, original artwork, or other pop culture collectibles, PulpFest is the place to be.
(Perhaps you’ll find the November 1941 issue of WEIRD TALES — featuring cover art by Hannes Bok — at this year’s PulpFest. Or how about a copy of John Bruening’s Midnight Guardian novel, HOUR OF DARKNESS? The one with cover art by Tom Gianni.
Start planning now to attend PulpFest and its celebration of mystery, adventure, science fiction, and more. This year, we’ll be focusing on “The Children of the Pulps and Other Stories.” Our programming will explore the many ways pulp fiction and pulp art have inspired and continue to inspire pop culture creators.
Be sure to join PulpFest 2019 at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Pittsburgh – Cranberry this summer. We’ll be there August 15 – 18, just outside of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
