Seems like an article @arkhamlibrarian.bsky.social would appreciate and enjoy.
Happy to share a new story today: For The New York Times Style Magazine, I explored the fascinating history of the lesbian pulp novel, a genre that predates the modern gay rights movement. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/04/t...
How Did Lesbian Pulp Fiction Thrive in the 1950s and ’60s?
These lurid paperbacks offer today’s readers a portal to an early, furtive era of queer expression.

@markrainey.bsky.social Stephen, I just sent you an email via your website…if you don’t receive it, please let me know & I’ll resend. I’m hoping to get a scan/photo copy of an article from your Summer 1997 issue of Deathrealm to help with a project I’ve contracted for. Any help greatly appreciated.

After a half-year from our move, my library in our new home is finally, for the most part, complete, and my thousands of books are now out of their long hibernation in moving boxes. It’s nice to be reacquainted at last with old friends.

Read my first ever Edward Abbey novel. I’ve read that this post-apocalyptic example may not be the best place to start, but since the setting “is a land of horses and motorcycles” — and that land, Phoenix, is next door to me — it was ideal. And I loved it… it certainly won’t be my last Abbey.
