PulpFest

Season’s Greetings from PulpFest

The PulpFest organizing committee — Mike Chomko, Jack and Sally Cullers, Bill Lampkin, Sara Light-Waller, William Patrick Maynard, and Barry Traylor — would like to wish everyone a healthy and happy holiday season.

We hope you’ll all be unwrapping a PulpFest 2021 membership during this year’s holidays. But if it’s not meant to be — maybe you were a little naughty — be sure to mend your ways and treat yourself to another great time at next year’s convention.

Although we can’t be sure what’s in store for 2021, we are certainly hopeful that the year will bring us much brighter times than we’ve experienced in 2020. We can all certainly use some puppy love!

PulpFest will celebrate the centennial of Street & Smith’s LOVE STORY MAGAZINE, the 90th anniversary of THE SHADOW, A DETECTIVE MAGAZINE, and more at its 2021 convention. We hope you’ll join us from August 19 – 22  for “Love in the Shadows” at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Pittsburgh – Cranberry in Mars, Pennsylvania. Click the “registration” button below the PulpFest banner to learn how to become a member.

(James Clark Work began to paint covers for LOVE STORY MAGAZINE in 1939. He created over thirty covers for the popular Street & Smith romance pulp, including the December 21, 1940 issue. Work’s covers for LOVE STORY are often bright and cheerful, depicting joy and young love. The artist continued to contribute cover paintings to the magazine until late 1942 when it began to rely increasingly on photographic covers.)

PulpFest Returns to Pittsburgh!

PulpFest 2025 will begin Thursday, August 7, and run through Sunday, August 10. It will be held at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Pittsburgh – Cranberry. Please join us for "Masters of Blood and Thunder" and much more at PulpFest 2025.
