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."

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 Vampire of Tinkerfall (Elysium #3) by inkwellheart

Nothing goes better with tea and crumpets than corpses and monsters. ************ With hardly a moment's rest after the case of the experimental corpses, Trinket and Booker are met with a new mystery: a supposed vampire haunting the streets of Tinkerfall. While Booker's scientific mind refuses to buy into fairy tales, Trinket fears this creature could, in fact, be a ghost. A ghost from her tormented past. Determined to learn the identity of the bloodsucking nightwalker, Trinket throws herself into the path of danger and begins to stir up painful memories from both Elysium and her life before the asylum. As she comes closer to learning the truth, she wonders how much longer she can keep her employer in the dark about her unforgivable sins. Perhaps a man fascinated by vicious monsters might also be able to love one. Or maybe he'll condemn her back to the hell from whence she came. It's JANE EYRE meets FRANKENSTEIN in this YA mystery series with a steampunk flair. Sequel to THE EXPERIMENTAL MURDERS. Bonus short stories: NEVER KICK A PUP and THE INSPECTION. Warning: this story involves mental illness and has scenes depicting anxiety attacks and PTSD, as well as suicidal thoughts.

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

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

The M.I.L.F. Man by CynthiaDagnal-Myron

Disinherited trust fund baby becomes an escort specializing in helping older women live their wildest romantic fantasies. (MATURE) CHASTAIN DEVILLIER, 20, is the loose cannon in a wealthy family descended from two very long and very aristocratic British and French bloodlines. As the story begins, he has spent the last year at what we Americans would call a "party school" in Tucson, Arizona, having dropped out of two of the most prestigious Ivy League colleges in the country--and broken up with his latest love. He's both beautiful and brilliant. But he's a GenZ Holden Caulfield who finds academia a crashing bore and his partying peers insufferably inane. Frustrated by Chastain's inability to find himself, his British father has frozen his trust funds and bank accounts and reduced his monthly living expenses to a paltry sum as a "wake up call." Chas, however, discovers a very unusual side hustle to supplement his meager allowance. After a wild night with a feisty older woman--and with the help of a Web cam star friend--he becomes an escort specializing in clients of "a certain age." It's an occupation he thoroughly enjoys. The wisdom of the women he meets and the diverse cast of characters he encounters in this wild new world intrigues and excites him. Until he falls for CIELO SANDOVAL a stunning, street-smart young asylum-seeker whose dedication to caring for the homeless and less fortunate forces him to rethink this risqué career. And whose narrow escape from two cartel-connected ICE agents hellbent on deporting her back to Honduras sends him on the most meaningful--and dangerous--adventure of his young life.

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.
