They just don't write 'em like this anymore,
By A Customer
This review is from: 21st Century Pulp: Complete Novellas and Short Stories (Hardcover)
It's pretty rare to find any kind of masked-avenger type fiction any more, but Turowski offers two in this volume: one about a girl raised by raccoons in a sort of bizarre take on Edgar Rice Burrough's Tarzan (she feels compelled to dress like a raccoon, watches bad guys from the trees, speaks raccoon-ese) that makes for silly fun. The other features an Asian pulp hero living in racist prohibition-era San Francisco and fighting off white gangsters. An interesting twist. There is also a story called "The Bugboys" about highly evolved bats who act like cowboys and a couple other science fiction and horror stories that come from the pulp tradition. I think this is Turowski's first book. He did the cover and most of the illustrations. A fun book!
5.0 out of 5 stars
Turowski is one great writer!,
This review is from: 21st Century Pulp: Complete Novellas and Short Stories (Paperback)
I read this book when it first came out, and just decided to read it again. I forgot how imaginative, fun and well-written this book is. The stories are steeped in fantasy elements - vampires, a feral child, the follower of an ancient Chinese god - all written with a fresh look and voice. More, please!!
