Text of the page (random words):
writer contains some harsh violence but for some reason i didn t feel much interest in the characters this was the newest novel i read for the article i also read short stories by jane candia coleman and peggy simson curry the former s moving on was superb with original characters highly recommended this was in the book the morrow anthology of great western short stories edited by jon tuska and vicki piekarski the anthology looks very well done by and large with lots of forgotten pulp and female writers peggy simson curry s geranium house was in the anthology a century of great western stories edited by john jakes at least in name maybe he had some assistant working on this also i didn t really care for the humorous story but i liked reading about curry in the short introduction the story came out originally in sep or collier s i didn t mention curry in my article i also tried to read mari sandoz but her style wore me down i understood maybe half of what was going down in the tom walker i tried cheyenne autumn but as it isn t a novel per se i didn t try to force my way through it i understood from an on line essay that her publishers tried to diminish her use of the old slang and you can rest assured they should ve tried harder lähettänyt jurinummelin klo 4 08 pm 5 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest tunnisteet b m bower dorothy m johnson female authors helen hunt jackson jane barry kathleen kent marguerite noble westerns wednesday october 22 2025 the preface for my book dark places and little tramps here s the preface i wrote for my book dark places and little tramps which is a collection of writings about crime and other genres taken from this very same blog the sales have been lacking i don t know what i expected but i couldn t foresee that they would stop sending parcels across the atlantic there was also a bit of a delay getting the book in amazon and i think some of the possible momentum was lost while waiting for the book to appear there it s now available but as i already implied i m not sure whether it moves across the pond at the moment damn you trump and your tariffs but alas seems like there s no kindle version even though i had an electronic version of the book made luckily my income isn t dependent on this i m not sure if it works but the e book version can also be bought here here on another blog is the table of contents for the book it s too long to post here this book is a collection of book reviews from my blog called pulpetti finnish for pulpit i set the blog up in 2005 and updated it irregularly into 2022 when i finally stopped pulpetti as the title probably tells you was mainly about pulp or pulpish fiction stuff that was published in pulp magazines paperback novels and other low end literary venues i also wrote a lot about obscure films and some classics and there was also a lot about my family issues and other odds and ends i even published some poems there but sometime around 2010 i decided to concentrate on the reviews of pulp fiction and films and stop talking about my personal life other than some work related stuff i e translating crime fiction writing about it and what have you i also started other blogs where i could direct my seemingly endless energy blogs around the world were mainly in english when i started pulpetti so it was natural to me that pulpetti was also in english i m not a native speaker as i live in finland but i ve always thought my english is pretty fluent at times i also published in finnish and i remember writer j d rhoades saying that those parts in pulpetti sounded like elvish to him pulpetti brought many connections from 2004 to 2011 i published a crime fiction fanzine called isku in finnish and i got lots of new hardboiled and noir writing in them stories by patti abbott bill crider christa faust ed gorman jason starr and kevin wignall to name just a few i couldn t have had the same supply of good stories without the blogging thanks go also to the rara avis e mail list which was still going strong during those years great cover by ossi hiekkala largely thanks to pulpetti i had also connections to sample new crime novels for a paperback line i was editing for a finnish publisher namely arktinen banaani i hand picked books for the line in 2008 2010 the line went bust after only six books but what classics they were duane swierczynski s the wheelman kevin wignall s who is conrad hirst allan guthrie s kiss her goodbye scott phillips s the ice harvest christa faust s money shot and james sallis s drive how could you not love those books but it seems the finnish audience was able to resist their call and the publisher really didn t know what to do with the books so the paperback line ceased after the paperbacks there came a few books in hardcover kevin wignall s the dark flag which unfortunately still hasn t been published in english and probably never will duane swierczynski s the blonde and ken bruen s london boulevard plus two crime novels by finnish authors but they vanished without a trace a writer friend of mine antti tuomainen said to me that one day someone s gonna pick up one of these books decides to become a writer and writes a book that changes the course of history here s hoping why then did i stop blogging i simply couldn t find the time anymore i was already writing or doing some other writing related work six seven or even eight hours every day so i thought it would be too tiresome to try to come up with something worthwhile to be published in a blog and then there was social media namely facebook where i could also publish stuff about my writing and pulpish fiction sometime around 2020 facebook stopped showing links to google owned blogger in its newsfeed so it became quite frustrating to publish something on blogspot and then find out no one has read it there are other problems with facebook that i wholeheartedly recognize and as i m writing this introduction i ve been on a facebook break i also wanted to have these reviews at hand and in print just in case of google deciding to cease all defunct or dormant blogs as i said pulpetti was mainly about pulpish fiction mostly hardboiled and noir writing but also some westerns some horror some fantasy some sleaze and other erotica and other genres many of the reviews in pulpetti were born out of making a sequel to my original pulpografia 2000 in finnish only a reference book on american crime and mystery writers published mainly in the pulp and paperback format i also did a book on american western writers so it was natural to post about that genre as well in the early 2020 s i started finishing up the sequel to pulpografia and i had to read some men s adventure books a genre i m not very much interested in but which seems quite popular nowadays when i was writing my first book over 20 years ago i concentrated on genres that i really cared about the noir and hardboiled stuff but the wind has changed at least according to the sites like paperback warrior and facebook groups like men s adventure paperbacks of the 20th century where men s adventure books like the mack bolans by don pendleton are very much a fad as i m writing this introduction the sequel is not finished yet but i m hoping it will see the light of day in 2025 edit here s hoping in this book there s also a large section on neo noir since i was reading and still am new american british and irish crime fiction mainly in the noir or neo noir subgenre i think there hasn t been any kind of history of neo noir fiction so this could be a start or at least someone can use this as a source or a reference work a word of warning neo noir is a famously slippery genre so someone might think that not all the books mentioned here are neo noir or even noir we have also a section on sleaze or sex paperbacks of the 1960 s and 1970 s and later ones as well many people know that lots of sleaze paperbacks are also crime fiction just to name a few lawrence block donald westlake robert silverberg orrie hitt barry malzberg i did a book on sleaze paperbacks in 2020 called pulpografia erotica it concentrates on american books that were published also in finnish so the scope is pretty limited and haphazard there were lots of crime related books that have never before been called to attention of crime fiction aficionados though so i think this section should prove interesting to many paperback fans there are also sections on westerns and some other genres as well with a short segment of non fiction books and magazines one of the most important segments in this book focuses on older british crime fiction there are reviews and articles on british spy books but also stuff about british private eye books some of which are very light pastiches of the genuine american stuff james hadley chase has many of his books reviewed though i really don t find him that appealing in the end we have some reviews on crime noir graphic novels and also some stuff on finnish literature mainly aino kallas and mika waltari but also a survey of finnish private eye fiction reviews in brief is just what it is very short reviews on hardboiled noir and other novels the book doesn t contain the blog posts as they were since i ve edited them and taken out stuff that s not relevant anymore i e things about where i was reading the book or some such i ve also combined some of the shorter reviews into longer ones for example in the case of james hadley chase the texts are arranged alphabetically according to the writer s surname i ve also added the publishing info and you can find the publisher and the year of the first edition in the headers in this time of e books it s becoming more and more difficult to find the publishing year and the name of the original publisher i hope you find this mixed up collection of reviews and essays interesting and entertaining and i indeed hope you can order the book and get it into your hands tariffs or not lähettänyt jurinummelin klo 6 02 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest tunnisteet dark places and little tramps hardboiled juri nummelin my books noir paperbacks sleaze sleaze paperbacks sunday august 03 2025 three westerns from the sixties here s a summary of three western novels from the sixties i recently read in quick succession one of the books was a hardback originally two others were paperbacks i read the books in finnish translation hence the books in the picture are in finnish d b newton on the dodge berkley 1962 bannister wanted by law for killing a man in a fight finds himself in a town getting tangled up in the fight against the railroad contractor and the landgrabbers one of the books in newton s bannister series bannister is a flawed man but he can take care of himself wayne d overholser the bitter night macmillan 1961 a fine thriller set almost entirely in a stagecoach station reese sullivan giles a lutz the demanding land ace double 1966 a man returns to his hometown after having been suspected of a murder and ends up fighting the father and brother of the dead man at the same time he sets up his own ranch not very tight plotwise but i liked lutz s angular style and his eye for peculiar details such as poisoning wolves with strychnine and selling wild horses to the english for the boer war i thought that newton s book was the best of the bunch but i noticed i have a hard time remembering what actually happened in the book all were quite hardboiled and with the exception of overholser there were no real heroes and with overholser the main character is just an ordinary man there s one thing about westerns though they don t really seem personal to me in noir and hardboiled you find more books in which the writers reveal themselves their fears desires and dreams but in westerns this is quite rare h a derosso is one exception i haven t yet read arnold hano s flint which reportedly has the same plot as one of jim thompson s novels and hano was his editor in lion books there are more literary westerns such as the books by max evans which have this personal quality lähettänyt jurinummelin klo 1 00 pm 3 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest tunnisteet d b newton giles a
