Tales of the bizarre, the brazen, and the barely believable await within. This second volume of Gaslamp Pulp dives headlong into the sun-soaked weirdness of Florida, where science fiction and fantasy collide with the chaotic legend of “Florida Man.”
Uncanny, irreverent, and gleefully unhinged, this collection invites you to embrace the madness and discover just how strange the genre can get south of the panhandle. After 22 modern short stories and poems, Volume II culminates with a rediscovered gem: a full-length pulp fantasy novella—Ray Cummings’s The Fire People—from the 1920s, filled with daring exploits and timeless adventure.
A tribute to the golden age of speculative fiction, Gaslamp Pulp blends old-world wonder with fresh imagination—
Follow the glow of the gaslights and discover worlds you’ll never want to leave.
