On his Facebook page, Pulp 2.0 publisher Bill Cunningham posted the following tease about an upcoming project.
“I am putting a book series together called JUNGLE GIRL ADVENTURES featuring photos, comic panels, posters and 3 short stories from Bobby Nash, Ian Watson, and Michael May. It’s a celebration of all things jungle girl. It also features a gallery of jungle girl pinup photos from the Donald F. Glut archives. What I have found is that the jungle girl subgenre has a long history in films, tv, comics and pulps — something that has been forgotten in mainstream media.”

Subterranean Press has announced that Author Joe R. Lansdale’s Dead Aim is now available for preorder before its official release in January 2013.
Press Release:
Dead Aim (preorder) by Joe R. Lansdale
ISBN: 978-1-59606-524-6
Length: 104 pages
(preorder—to be published in January 2013)
Dust jacket by Glen Orbik
Dead Aim marks the always welcome return of Joe R. Lansdale’s most enduring fictional creations: Hap Collins and Leonard Pine. The result is a spare, beautifully crafted novella in which Lansdale’s unique voice and inimitable narrative gifts are on full—and generous—display.
The story begins simply enough when the two agree to provide protection for a woman harassed by her violent, soon-to-be-ex husband. But, as readers of this series will already know, events in the lives of Hap and Leonard rarely stay simple for long. When a protracted stakeout ends in a lethal shooting and a pair of moldering corpses turn up in an otherwise deserted trailer, the nature of this “routine” assignment changes dramatically. The ensuing investigation unearths a complex web of lies, duplicity, and hidden agendas that leads from an upscale Texas law firm to the world of organized crime, culminating in the kind of explosive, anything-can-happen confrontation that only Joe Lansdale could create. Violent, profane, and often raucously funny, Dead Aim is a tautly written, hugely entertaining thriller and a triumph of the storyteller’s art.
Trade: Fully cloth bound hardcover edition
Limited: 400 signed numbered copies, bound in leather, with a different cover design than the trade hardcover.

On their Facebook Page, ThePulp.net announced some changes to their website.
Something looks different! That’s right. ThePulp.Net introduced a new format today. Based on suggestions from the survey we conducted last spring, we’ve added a bit more color and pizzazz to the site to better reflect the vivid pulps of the past. Let us know what you think!
Visit the new www.thepulp.net today.
Press Release:
SEVERAL changes, in fact. On www.planetarystories.com (NO! Don’t go there yet; there’s more to come.) there are three different covers, replacing the older ones. So, you say, what’s the big deal about that?
Well, ONE of them – Wonderlust – is the cover of the NEXT Wonderlust! (Not yet! Just wait to click.) More, the entire 27th issue of Planetary Stories (all three, Planetary Stories, Pulp Spirit and Wonderlust) focus on ‘Fun’. For instance, the story behind that great cover illo by Jose Sanchez, On The Way, begins with Nerek (‘Our Hero’) saying to his superior officer, “You bellowed?”
There’s lots of action, but ‘fun’ is the theme.
In other stories we have a purple-skinned driver of a space taxi tearing around the universe, and the host of a kid’s show saving humanity, and…
Well, you’ll see. www.planetarystories.com/OnTheWay.pdf will get you to Nerek right now.
Which is ANOTHER change…
Joe R. Lansdale’s The Ape Man’s Brother is now available on Kindle with a paperback edition to follow.
“What has always been important to me is to tell the stories I wish someone else had written,” Lansdale stated on his Facebook page. “Yesterday I announced THE APE MAN’S BROTHER, a tribute I wrote to Edgar Rice Burroughs and Philip Jose Farmer. It’s a mixture of many things, a lot of my interests.”
About The Ape Man’s Brother:
Orphaned by a plane crash, raised in the wilds of a lost world hidden somewhere beneath a constant mist, The Big Guy and his ape-man brother from another mother are living a life of danger amongst rampaging dinosaurs, giant birds, warring ape tribes, and all manner of deadly beasts. It’s a wonderful existence for someone like The Big Guy and his furry brother, except for the flea problem. Then an expedition of explorers from the outside turn his world inside out. Or rather a very blonde beauty called The Woman does. It leads to his and his ape brother being convinced to fly to New York by zeppelin, where they become the toast of the town. They even make Hollywood movies. It seems perfect. At least until The Big Guy does something that comes quite naturally to him in the wild, but leads to public humiliation in this new found world. To make matters worse, his ape brother has grown to not only love the pampered life, meals he doesn’t have to chase down, good cigars, fine wines and statuesque women, he’s come to like the Wrong Woman.
Changes are afoot. They lead to a return to the world beneath the mist, and a deadly and unexpected encounter with a foe that is in many ways far worse than any dinosaur. Envy, jealousy, greed, fleas, and pyramids under the mist, are all part of this rollicking novella of the sort only Joe R. Lansdale could write. And don’t forget dinosaurs.
