/lit/ - Literature

I like the one that says "some" pulp

>>18251741
I enjoy it.

I get the stuff that says either 'extra pulp' or 'pulp added,' it is the best stuff. I just got a bottle of prune juice labeled that way, I am pretty sure it is just plums run through a blender, it is thick stuff, expect to find pits everytime I have a glass. Great stuff.

Yeah. Word to the wise check out Horror’s Call. Most entertaining pulp out there and it’s from this board.

>>18251741
Does Flashman count?

>>18251741
Howard and Lovecraft are great pulp.

>>18252201
yes

>>18251741
Yes, one of the most interesting forms of literature of the early 20th century. Literature moves from the outskirts to the center. That is, the marginal forms of the past stage are becoming the mainstream of the current one.

no

>>18252262
Then yes, yes I do read pulp.

>>18251741
i read visual novels with cute anime girls so yes

>>18251741
Clark Ashton Smith was too /lit/.

>>18253053
I pity him. CAS was reduced to writing for pulp only because of the degenerated tastes of his time, he was a great writer and a martyr

>>18251741
Reminds me of bible black gaiden

>>18252005
Good taste anon

There's some fun stuff there.

Can someone please recommend me some good erotica?
they must be male pov or lesbian with an extra diegetic narrator.

Have you guys read George sterling? He took smith under his wing, wine of wizardry is very kino, and as for him being too high quality, smith is fantastic, but Robert e Howard’s prose and poetry is also very high caliber. Here’s a poem of his.

Slow sift the sands of Time; the yellowed leaves
Go drifting down an old and bitter wind;
Across the frozen moors the hedges stand
In tattered garments that the frost have thinned.

A thousand phantoms pluck my ragged sleeve,
Wan ghosts of souls long into darkness thrust.
Their pale lips tell lost dreams I thought mine own,
And old sick longings smite my heart to dust.

I may not even dream of jeweled dawns,
Nor sing with lips that have forgot to laugh.
I fling aside the cloak of Youth and limp
A withered man upon a broken staff.

Also if you guys love smith, check out Donald Sidney, he was the student of smith concerning poetry, his own poetry heavily pastiches smith and Edmund Spenser along with various decadents.

Eh, it’s actually derived from romanticism, gothic stuff and decadent lit, at least in terms of Clark Ashton smith, lovecraft and Howard. References to Baudelaire and translations of various other French poets wasn’t really uncommon, their prose style was usually modeled off of the classics or encyclopedic/essayist styles, their poetry was pretty much always very very formal. I mean hell, smith was a key figure in the Californian romanticism revival, so I would say it’s coomer in the sense that decadent lit is coomer.

>>18251741
Ye, even reading shit like Seabury Quinn is really enjoyable.

The aesthetic of pulp/pulp sci-fi/pulp fantasy covers is usually better than the literature itself.

>>18255659
eh, something like dark eidolon is really good. I don’t think I’ve read a Clark Ashton smith I haven’t liked.

I heard their song Death II for the first time a few days ago and have just been repeating it non-stop.
