The PulpWork Christmas Special 2015

Once again the Christmas season is upon us and though the blood moon has perhaps brought death and destruction, the world still muddles on, neither coming to its horrific end or culminating in its supernal return to the paradisiacal glory of our first forebears before they were cast out of the Garden. Still, we look to the Christmas Season as a time of hope, joy and peace, and perhaps in the dark and dim tales scrawled on the pages within, you might see some glimmer of peace, some glimpse of joy, behind the roiling darkness and the evil forces that threaten to subsume the world in a tsunami of grief and sorrow. For your consideration, we present a sextet of sanguinary tales of Christmas horror, hate, and even heroism: The peculiar Don Cuevo and his lovely assistant discover an odd anomaly amidst the chill of winter. A man receives a timely visit from his wife...who is dead. Satan’s Minions ride the Christmastime streets of Fort Lauderdale. A demonic hound stalks the West India Docks of Limehouse, setting a trap for the Royal Occult Investigator Charles St. Cyprian and his bloodthirsty assistant Ebe Gallowglass. Two foes of super strength and super genius join each other for a Christmas drink, and a private investigator finds himself on the wrong side of a scourge of fearsome rattenkonigs. —All these tales from the prodigious pens of the most prolific pulpmeisters of the modern New Pulp era. Join us for these unsettling stories of holiday fear.
