Dieselpunk Epulp Showcase

Includes stories by John Picha, Grant Gardiner, Bard Constantine, Jack Philpott. 

This action-packed ePulp Anthology unleashes four new noir tales inspired by the pulp magazines of the 1930s and 1940s. Blazing brawls and gritty adventure awaits dieselpunks, nostalgians, die hard or pulp-curious fans. Hope you can take a punch, because these two-fisted tales hit hard!

For young hoods, the Aether Age streets of mob-plagued Chicago present a world of opportunity. And Mack and Mickey are headed straight for the top in "That Sort of World: a Tale of the Aether Age."

It's class-warfare in Citadel City as Pandora Driver and her Car of Tomorrow deliver rough justice to the elites and a douche named the Gooch in "Who are the People in your Neighborhood?"

"The Wise Man Says" introduces Mick Trubble: a hard drinking, chain smoking charmer who bites off more than he can chew... then chews like hell. The Troubleshooter takes the grit and slang of a hardboiled detective and drops it in a dystopian setting that mixes Fedoras, trench coats, flying cars and android policemen.

The dirty streets of Roanoketown were his home and his only family. Until he met HER. Now he'll follow HER into hell, tamahaak held high, and fight as a proud Indian against the Anglo Oppressors. He'll wager his life to be a true "A Friend of Spirits."

Will You Trust Me? // Connor x Reader by mercurys_virgo

"You love him, that's why you care so much for him," You thought. "You love him. You love him." -- Detroit is a bustling city-center, with those looking to strike innovative gold roaming the streets day and night. You are just a simple officer working at the Detroit Police Department. With the number of deviant android cases rising with each passing hour, you are reassigned from Lt. Anderson's short-time case partner to his long-term one, an RK800 android joining you in your mission to fight android crime. However, with everyone's attention focused on the deviants, other high-profile crime sprees go unnoticed. Those acts of injustice could very well be the downfall of Detroit, as well as your own downfall. -- Rated mature for mentions of rape, sexual assault, violence, drugs, swearing, and suicide. Just in case some of y'all are sensitive to any of these topics.

The Vyšehrad Drowned by Di_Rossi

What all can happen in just one night... Perun Hammerfist is a flashy gangster with a reputation for elegance -- and brutality - to uphold. While murdering off a debtor, he accidentally drowns in the river that flows through Prague, beginning a nightmarish journey that not only forces him to confront his long repressed past and thrusts him back into the arms of his dead love, but also reveals the too-close-for-comfort connection to his personal nemesis: Veleček, the elderly gangster who runs the old part of town. Set in an alternate 1937, The Vyšehrad Drowned incorporates various figures from Slavic mythology in an atmospheric noir Dieselpunk setting. (Dieselpunk = retro sci-fi set between 1910 and 1950)

Waiting Shapeless by KennyFyor

*Completed* Ranked #1 in alienplanet in Jan 20 2020 Please, LISTEN TO ME!! I know you think I'm crazy and I know they told you I'm dangerous, but you have to just listen!! My people are dying! They are being killed, ruthlessly slaughtered by the millions!! I know exactly who is doing it too-but it doesn't make any sense. I don't understand why they are doing it. Please help me, help us!! To whoever gets this message, I can't do anything from here-please! I am begging you!! Please-just get me off this damn planet!! [END TRANSMISSION] ------------------- Earth is not alone in harboring life. The galaxies and universes have been opened, and all the intelligent beings residing in them have been connected and unified with each other. It has been over a million years since the Pentaverse, a cluster of five neighboring universes, was organized and unified. Now, hundreds of otherworldly species live in relative harmony with the one another. The unification was good for many species, but for some species, the change caused unexpected extinction. As a team of the Conservation of Species Committee investigates a mysterious decrease in the population of a robotic species, they stumble upon something that could potentially result in the destruction of the entire Pentaverse. This is not your average Wattpad story about how the 'bad boy meets the good girl'. This book is about a series of mysteries that begin to unfold as you read and travel through space with a group of unsuspecting aliens. This story will make you laugh, it will shock you, surprise you, and it will leave you hungry for more-all the way to the last word. Be aware, there are some adult themes in this book including drinking, swearing, love making, death, and murder. None of those topics are explored too deeply however, so I do not think it is appropriate to give this book a 'mature' rating. *********** @2020wattyawards

Catnap's Sick Game - The Hour of Joy | PoppyPlaytime Chapter 3 by CatNap_Writes

-Synopsis--- As the sole OSHA inspector in the factory, I am the only one who knows all the safety codes and protocols inside out. One day, while I was working, something terrible began. People running and screaming in the distance as panic set in. But just when I thought I was safe, Catnap reached me. He and the prototype had a plan in mind for me, one that I was unfortunately unaware of... Will the sick game of torture and intimidation by Catnap, force (Y/N) to submit and join this new dark cult? WARNING, this story is only for 18+ and contains the following: (Blood, Violence, Slurs, Gore, Murder) based on your tolerance, if you are sensible to these topics, read at your own risk. The tone will get DARKER as the chapters progress. The story follows a (Y/N) gender/character-neutral pov, so feel free to put the character you want. The lore slightly differs from the game, as this is a fan-made AU. English is my third language, I'm trying my best with the grammar [I'm Italian 🇮🇹]👉👈 This is my first fan book ever, please be nice 🥺 All Poppy-related characters belong to MOB Entertainment.

Gavin Reed x RK900 (18+) by BurningThroughStorys

TW: leaning hard into non-con/rape 18+ --- Gavin Reed hated androids. He hated how they talked, how they moved and how they looked. Especially the toaster of a detective that had been working with them since shortly before the revolution. Half a year has passed since the androids were acknowledged as sentient and he still couldn't fully get used to them. They had "rights" now. Gavin had to treat these advanced computers with respect - by law. Of course, he didn't want to. But he wanted to loose his job even less. Reed was forced into the android sensibilty program by Fowler, after he mistreated the tincan "Connor" one to many times. Shortly after he had trouble deciding what he hated more: the fact that he was slowly beginning to warm up to these... things or that they got another one of them. The RK900 - Connors successor model - was assigned to Gavin. The cocky deviant was more intimidating, more assertive, more... attractive? Gavin hated that the new android wasn't as much of a pushover as Conner. Though it left him wondering how routhless the android could be. If he'd degrade, humiliate and hurt him even more than he fantasized about. If he'd force Gavin to do stuff he didn't want to do, simply because he could. Because the RK900 was stronger, faster and smarter than Gavin ever would be. Reeds lust and curiosity was slowly winning over his hatred and pride; and he despised himself for it. --- Credits for the thumbnail: https://pin.it/1mTBkMZU0

change history yesterday by toulosereads

Helpful reminders as you read: (subject to change & be updated w/the release of chapters) Main characters: 1. Charlie (woman) - She has light features, recessive genes. She is a mistake in the genetic pool, yet b/c of her lineage she has all of the rulings of an aristocrat. 2. Aero (man) - Dark features, thick eyebrows. Colonel and Charlie's fiance. 3. Rhys (man) - Charlie's best friend. 4. Senator Holm (man) - One of many senators that work directly with President Malcolm Bouchard. 5. 273 (man) - Peat. Dark features. Chocolate brown curls. Tattoos whipped out of place. Emerald green eyes. Vocabulary: * Plebeian - a lower class individual, the lowest class. Marked by light physical features and high spirits! * Aristocrat - an upper class individual. Marked by dark physical features and perfect skin. *Peat - an individual that has both plebeian and aristocratic blood, usually from rape. Marked by a number on the side of his/her neck. * Defect - a derogatory name given to nobles when they appear less than average. * D.O.C. - the day of correction set to kill off those that don't look perfect * Corpse flower - a flower that has been rumored to possess the components to correct the genetic error found in Sybaran. * Silver knickle - currency in Nephraim * G-shot- the shot that corrects defects. * The Oval - is the center of the world, the government. President Malcolm Bouchard works here. Basis and facts throughout the story: Pieces from the Old World are forbidden. Those with lighter hair follicles and iris colors are considered problematic; skin tone is no longer the issue. Every race has the ability to be born with lighter features, so there's no prejudice against race. Just physical features. Sybaran is the continent; Nephraim (home village) , Salem (stricter division, where Aero was born), Mieich, and Shankrai, are the 4 subdivisions (countries) of Sybaran that we have so far.

Quick Light by Reesethetanker76

The story of Jason is an odd one, his story is one that involves multi-dimensional travel, combat, and the reoccurring bad situation. That is only the tip of the iceberg, unfortunately, this story cannot be told from just one view... but through the views of his friends (war mongers, vigilantes, heroes, metal heads, and soldiers) and new found allies. With a wonder device that Jason steals, while trying to adjust after a bad court martial, he finds the Mysterious land known only as the Neutral Dimension. Once there... Instead of finding fame and fortune as he sought, he instead finds a whole new set of problems. With a place filled with histories past and the present interconnected, he finds that war, violence, espionage, and robbery cannot fall off his repertoire even in a place of peace. He finds himself with only a few options... but that is where I need to stop talking and you need to start finding out. Word to the wise: this is not a story for the faint of heart or ill of intellect. Instead a story that will expand and contract the way one thinks... this book contains conspiracy, murder, extreme violence, extreme vulgarity, themes of war, twists, gore, racing, use of drug and alcahol, sexual themes, sex, GUNS, unsuitable terminology, dimensional theory and use of dimensional travel, and historical concepts that may not be suitable for children and some adults... BUT, if this does not taint or deture you from a good read... then by all means... Enjoy! "In the end, our choices make us" -Andrew Ryan

WARBRINGER by GlampireRockstar

Welcome to Book #1 of my AU series, this is about a war that was brought down upon Earth and it's up to the new generation of superheroes to save the planet. This first book is heavily inspired by S1-S2 of "Ben 10: Ultimate Alien Force" and S1 of "Young Justice: Retaliation" for the connection on the Highbreed and the DNAliens. We'll be seeing some brand new adventures and shocking plot twists while having some references to many other franchises, such as Greek history from Blood of Zeus, Enochian language from Bayonetta, Vampires from Mortal Kombat, Malchior/Rorek Nol from Teen Titans, and much more. My final decision for ship names are Wildbird (Garfield Logan X Rachel Roth), Polaris (OMC X Zatanna Zatara), Wonderluck (Dick Grayson X OFC), Spitfire (Wally West X Artemis Crock), Padlock (OMC X Raquel Ervin), Hotwheels (Victor Stone X Koriand'r), Supermartian (Kon-El X M'gann M'orzz), and Halfblood (Kaldur'ahm X OFC). I'm a big fan of Dwayne Glenn McDuffie for his comic books and historic work until his death, and the worst part was that he passed after his birthday...I love Milestone Media for many reasons cause he brought our nostalgic childhood on TV along with Glen Murakami, Charlotte Fullerton, and Greg Weisman. Please read this book and find out more about "Warbringer". Comment down below and put my stories in your libraries now.
