Reinventing Pulp Occult Detectives

Modern Mystics for a Stranger World

Happy 50th podcast to me! I can’t believe I’ve gotten this far with it. Thanks to all of you who listen to my research into the pulps.

Popular lowbrow literature, such as pulp stories, can tell us a lot about our culture. These stories were read by a wide cross-section and are great temporal markers. How have things changed over time? Literature will tell you.

This week, I’m talking about reinvigorating an old pulp-subgenre—occult detectives. With so much more information and acceptance today of esoteric and supernatural things, a new occult detective would have a lot of options!

As a post script, Lucina Press will release my first new pulp detective story during the first quarter of 2025. It’s called, “Shadow on the Moon.” Look for it soon from Lucina Press!
