We’re very happy the DoubleTree Cranberry will be hosting the summertime destination for fans and collectors of vintage popular fiction and related materials. PulpFest seeks to honor pulp fiction and pulp art by drawing attention to the many ways they have inspired writers, artists, film directors, software developers, game designers, and other creators over the decades. Per our members, the DoubleTree is a terrific venue for our convention.
PulpFest 2018 will begin on Thursday evening, July 26, and run through Sunday, July 29. We hope to see you at the DoubleTree.
(This poor MP waited too long and is now on the way out the door of the cattlecar, thanks to the brush strokes that pulp artist Sidney Riesenberg used to create the cover for the February 16, 1928 issue of WAR STORIES. Don’t fall into the same trap. Book a room early and don’t miss out on your chance to stay at the beautiful DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Pittsburgh – Cranberry.)
