Our show reconstructs books that have been divided into thirds and assigned to three different hosts. We then recap the book in full over three episodes.

From the back cover:

She didn't ask to be rescued.

Beatrice's half sister had done a lot of crazy things, but inviting Elliot Chalmers to temporarily share their home while his was being renovated--that was the limit!

Everyone knew that Beatrice and Elliott had never seen eye to eye over her dedication to her orphaned siblings. He'd even nicknamed her "Cinders."

Some relevant characters:

Beatrice Bellaire: aka "Cinders" and "the runt of the litter." Raised her siblings after they were orphaned. Cooks, cleans, and has endemic breasts that knock over bystanders. Has been body-shamed her whole life and has the self-esteem to prove it.
Elliot Chalmers: under 6'. Has GIANT hands. Extremely presumptuous and creepy. NOT related by blood to Beatrice. Celebrates his birthday on days that aren't his birthday.
Lucilla: Beatrice and Elliot's half-sister involved with a TV producer named Horrocks. Is so terrible it's a mystery why anyone talks to her.
Mirry: Beatrice's sister and lingerie buyer. Mime?
William: Beatrice's brother that isn't a twin. Thinks Playboy gives you pimples.
Benedict and Sebastian: Beatrice's twin brothers. Largely interchangeable.

The Penetrator - The Target is H Part 3: All Penetration Bulletin

Tue, 30 Jul 2019 12:00:00 +0000

Our show reconstructs books that have been divided into thirds and assigned to three different hosts. We then recap the book in full over three episodes.

In this episode, and over the course of several ambushes, we are reminded Mark Hardin can penetrate whoever he wants to. Meanwhile, Mark sends out some fancy ransom notes and readies his penetream for the final showdown.

From the back cover:

MARK HARDIN...The Penetrator. He'd learned how in Vietnam. Infiltrate the enemy's position, determine the plan of action and then strike swiftly, taking out as many key men as possible, wreaking destruction, leaving chaos in your wake.

Now he was in Los Angeles, engaged in a new, far more sinister war. But he was fully prepared and totally committed, and bound by no rules but his own.

He is tall and slim, reflecting his unique Indian-Welsh background. His driver's license indicates his age is twenty-eight. If he seems a bit grim, it is for good reason.

He was orphaned at four, when his parents and three brothers and sisters were killed in an automobile crash. Since then he's been mistreated, brutalized by life, injured in games (football), and wounded in combat. But he's survived. Mark Hardin is tough, a survivor. And an expert. Marksmanship, karate, aikido, and even the crossbow, are part of his arsenal.

He is a new breed of warrior--without uniform, without rank--dedicated to the American way of life, and pledged to fight anyone who seeks to destroy it. On either side of the law. That's why he's in Los Angeles. Just the beginning of a long and lonely series of brushfire wars.

Some relevant characters:

Mark Hardin: 28 year-old Vietnam vet going through a mid-life crisis. Has very few emotions. On a mission to kill at least 100 people by the end of the book to avenge his friend, Donna Morgan. Skills range from makeup to grenade throwing.
Donna Morgan: a USC anthropologist who could tell your genetic ancestry just by looking. RIP.
Professor Haskins: Owner of the Stronghold. Donna's uncle.
David Red Eagle: "Old West" medicine man, trains Mark to be stealthy.
Don Pietro Scarelli: runs a mafia crime ring and takes a lot of phonecalls. Pretty angry at current events and the man behind them (the penetrator).
His Lordship: A mysterious person on the other end of Don's speakerphone. Is not Bosley.
Senator Martyn Corvus: On a committee against organized crime, headed to California to figure out what's going on with all this dang heroin.
Officer Kelly Patterson: Not just a cop. A massively racist Irish cop.

From the back cover:

Me and My Shadow

All my life I've been known as "Dinah Feeney--The Kind One." You know, the type of person who can never say no to anything: the neighborhood hand-me-downs, my old dog Rollo, or the dumb poodle hat my Aunt Maude knit for me. Let's face it, I'm a sucker. So when my parents said I could go to Camp Miniwawa for two weeks, I decided it was time to say good-bye to the old, nice, and boring me and become a member of the "in crowd" for the first time in my life.

At first, camp was great. Two of the most popular girls became my friends. But then Fern Wadley happened. The grossest person I had ever met decided I was going to be her best buddy. How could I possibly be friendly with someone who picked her teeth, walked around with lettuce stuck to her face, and wouldn't leave me alone f or a second?

I didn't want to hurt her feelings, but I had to get rid of Fern! My vacation, my new friends, and "Dinah Feeney--The Popular One," were all at stake.

Some relevant characters:

Dinah Feeney: The kind one? Pushed her own self-respect off the boat last episode. EXCELLENT on leafy brush.
Fern Wadley: Weird and disliked, but not a snitch! Has a beaver and a secret letter.
Marilyn Powers: Generally over everything. Is as goth as a 13 year-old girl at a summer camp in 1985 can get. Funnier than Wanda.
Cass Barnhill: Normally too cool to scream and yell but will, especially if pushed. Prettier than Wanda.
Crystal Ball: The fifth occupant of the girls' cabin at Camp Miniwawa.
Wanda: Dinah's friend from home. Looks like Howard Casell (unfortunately).

Some relevant characters:

Dinah Feeney: The kind one? Desperately trying to dump Fern from the group.
Fern Wadley: fərn. Proper Noun. 1) More boring than someone's uncle's mole. 2) A dullard. 3) the Cream of Wheat of people. 4) A celebrity?
Marilyn Powers: She's come to the camp 6 years now and knows all the ins, outs, and lame counselor tricks. Generally over everything. Is as goth as a 13 year-old girl at a summer camp in 1985 can get. Brings an assortment of fur to camp.
Cass Barnhill: Normally too cool to scream and yell but will, especially if pushed.
Crystal Ball: The fifth occupant of the girls' cabin at Camp Miniwawa. Missing during this entire third. (Probably tying up other campers to trees and leaving them for dead.)
Wanda: Dinah's friend from home. Looks like Howard Casell (unfortunately).

Alysa Lucas of Best Forevers and Fataliteas rejoins us for a whole book! In this episode, OG Pulp host Amber returns to recap the first third of Barbara Park's Buddies. This episode is ostensibly about a 13 year-old's trip to summer camp, but also includes a shout out to the people who drive cattle to slaughter. Before you say, "I'd rather be dead and I'd like to call my lawyer," give this episode a listen!

Stay after the episode for "until soon" postscript from Daniel!

Me and My Shadow

I didn't want to hurt her feelings, but I had to get rid of Fern! My vacation, my new friends, and "Dinah Feeney--The Popular One," were all at stake.

Some relevant characters:

Dinah Feeney: The kind one. Lied about wanting to go to Camp Miniwawa to reinvent her social life (said her sister, Deena, signed her up as a joke).
Fern Wadley: The bane of Dinah's existence. Gives Dinah both a social and literal flat tire (her shoe). Sweats A LOT. May have a disorder of sorts that influences her social interactions.
Marilyn "Wawa" Powers: Definitely cool. She's come to the camp 6 years now and knows all the ins, outs, and lame counselor tricks. Generally over everything. Is as goth as a 13 year-old girl at a summer camp in 1985 can get.
Cassandra Leigh Barnhill: Also definitely cool. Has the popped collars (yes, plural) to prove it.
Crystal Ball: Victim of a terrible name. The fifth occupant of the girls' cabin at Camp Miniwawa.
Wanda: Dinah's friend from home. Looks like Howard Casell (unfortunately).

The Chiffon Scarf Part 3: All Eyes on the Piano Man

Tue, 18 Jun 2019 12:00:00 +0000

Linzi recaps the conclusion to The Chiffon Scarf in our first FOUR-PERSON book recap! In this episode, Dorothy comes out of the woodwork, we still don't understand Averill's family tree, and Eden says yes. Twice.

**NB: So...Daniel WAS present for this ep, but there was a bit of a miscommunication that left the editor without his track. He pops in near the back third of the ep!

MIGNON G. EBERHART WRITES A MYSTERY ABOUT MURDER IN THE SKY...

Beautiful Eden Shore took a plane back to St. Louis for the wedding of an old friend. Swiftly, she made several new enemies--and fell in love with the prospective bridegroom.

That was only the beginning of a seven-day nightmare--with a climactic flight into murder most foul.

Some relevant characters:

Eden Shore: Main character that wants to deliberately induce marriage...doesn't really matter to whom as long as they're alive.
Averill Blaine: Longtime frenemy of Eden's, quite wealthy, has turned on her fiance Jim -- whom she now suspects of foul play.
Jim Cady: Knows about airplane parts and where to stash them. Loves being engaged.
Noel Carreaux: Used to having money and yet not as handsome or charming as Jim. Not an intellectual.
Dorothy Woolen: Jim's very observant, detail-oriented, "doughy," secretary. Blends into scenery.
PH Sloane: Ex-detective who regrets trading his magnifying glass for a ten-gallon hat. Lives on a dude ranch in the middle of nowhere. Somehow knows A LOT about his surprise guests.
Roy Wilson: Someone who is missing. Possibly a lurker.

The Chiffon Scarf Part 2: Lady Fingerprints

Tue, 11 Jun 2019 12:00:00 +0000

Mary and Mike recap this middle third of The Chiffon Scarf in our first FOUR-PERSON book recap! In this episode, they each take 16.67% (rounded up) of the middle third and walk us through some major developments: there's more bad news for the Blaine family, Eden gets her hands on everything, and Dorothy is still around. There are also several reminders this book was published in 1939, in the form of racial, gendered, and nativist stereotypes that are as subtle as a stranger on Sloane's ranch.

**NB: We apologize for the audio quality. Our guests Mike and Mary were both sick and didn't realize they were recording from their laptop mic. The content is so good though, we hope you won't notice!

Stalker From the Stars Part 3: Stiffy?

Tue, 21 May 2019 12:00:00 +0000

In our episode:

Linzi recaps the conclusion to Len Wein, Marv Wolfman, and Joseph Silva's Stalker From the Stars (1978), where the Hulk is here to pump you up, someone Sh'mballah's away, and Jesus makes an assist.

Featuring Jessie from Alphabet Flight and Creepy Critters! Check out his pod on Podbean (or any podcatcher) and follow him on Twitter @alphabetflight and @ccritterspod!

From the Dust Jacket:

FAR OUT! Who's this creature Sh'mballah who controls the minds and lives of the people in Crater Falls, North Dakota?

SHOCKING! He's not a who--he's a what. He's a tentacle-waving, electrified weirdo exiled from his own planet.

BRUTAL! The Hulk thinks Sh'mballah is cruising for a bruising. But can the green goliath marvelman beat the interplanetary baddie?

COLOSSAL! General Ross of the Army is doubtful. The Hulk's faithful sidekick is doubtful. But the Incredible Hulk is sure--he won't let Sh'mballah control him. No matter what ol' fettuccine-feelers thinks!

AN INSTANT COLLECTOR'S ITEM: THE HULK'S FIRST FULL-LENGTH NOVEL!

Some relevant characters:

Dr. Stern: Scientist. Bruce Banner's mentor. Hires a lot of part-time help. Definitely sort of dead.
Rick Jones: A civilian with a gun. Hulk's friend.
Linda Connelly: Has auburn hair and a lovely chest. Is mostly present because they needed a female character.
General Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross: Loves helicopters. Is rude.
Quartermain: Shield employee stationed at the Gamma Base in Crater Falls. Is known for his dexterity. British?

FAR OUT! Who's this creature Sh'mballah who controls the minds and lives of the people in Crater Falls, North Dakota?

SHOCKING! He's not a who--he's a what. He's a tentacle-waving, electrified weirdo exiled from his own planet.

BRUTAL! The Hulk thinks Sh'mballah is cruising for a bruising. But can the green goliath marvelman beat the interplanetary baddie?

AN INSTANT COLLECTOR'S ITEM: THE HULK'S FIRST FULL-LENGTH NOVEL!

Some relevant characters:

Dr. Stern: Scientist. Bruce Banner's mentor. Hires a lot of part-time help.
Alma : Dr. Stern's part-time "housekeeper."

Linda Connelly: Dr. Stern's part-time "secretary." Has auburn hair.
General Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross: Loves helicopters. Is rude.
Quartermain: Shield employee stationed at the Gamma Base in Crater Falls. Horny?

The Pulpies: Season 4

Tue, 19 Mar 2019 12:00:00 +0000

In our season 4 finale, Daniel and Linzi remember the good (and the bad) of this season's books: Claudia and the First Thanksgiving, Do Not Murder Before Christmas, Ghosts I Have Been, The Panorama Egg, and The Secret of the Old Clock. We're 33% Pulp and you're 100% as cool as Mrs. Pickett.

Editor's Note: I (Linzi) tried a new audio levelling tool but the ep came out a bit...unlevelled. That said, the content is all present and audible. Sorry! Won't happen again!

We'll be on hiatus for a bit, but we'll still be releasing content and updates. Stay tuned!

In our episode:

Linzi recaps the final third of Carolyn Keene's Nancy Drew: The Secret of the Old Clock, where Nancy gets some clock, Judy gets an education, and the deserving poor get their revenge.

Promo: Killafornia Dreaming.

Goodreads Summary:

Nancy Drew's keen mind is tested when she searches for Mr. Crowley's missing will.

Some relevant characters:

Nancy Drew - 16 or 18, depending on the version you read. Blonde, blue-eyed, detective with a razor sharp intuition.

The Turner sisters (Mary and Edna) - Aunties. Guardians of Judy. Former friends of Crowley.

Judy - 5 years old. Orphaned after her parents die in a tragic boat explosion.

The Hoover sisters - Allison has operatic talent. Grace bakes cakes and brews tea.

The Tophams (Richard, his Mrs., Ada, and Isabel) - Inherited Josiah Crowley's estate. Totally rude; "bougie af" per Daniel's take. Daughters Ada and Isabel are the Heathers.

Josiah Crowley - Deceased. Formerly filthy rich. Seems to have promised a lot of people a lot of money.

Carson Drew - Nancy's handsome father. Well-known lawyer in River Heights.

Hannah Gruen - The Drew's housekeeper and surrogate mother to Nancy.

Signor Mascagni - Retired professional voice instructor, now gives lessons to the gifted few of River Heights.

Abby Rowan - Cousin of Crowley's wife.

The Mathews brothers - More deserving poor.

Jeff Tucker - Topham cottage Caretaker. Helps Nancy come out of the closet.
