Two Fisted Tuesdays with The Shadow – Spotlight on the Duchess with special guest narrator Grace Gibson

| April 30, 2013

Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The Shadow knows!

Thanks to Scott from Dieselpunk Industries, we’re going all the way Down Under with this week’s episode of Two-Fisted Tuesday.

A lot of The Shadow episodes are lost to the winds of time, and I mean a lot, like 450 episodes are missing. Thankfully, we still have a bunch of the radio scripts including the missing episodes, and these scripts were recorded in a 1940s Australian adaptation of the show. Starring Lloyd Lamble as the Shadow, Lyndall Barbour as Margo Lane, and Grace Gibson as the infamous Announcer, we can enjoy these blasts from the past that were previously lost to the American audience.

Flying men make a comeback in John Picha’s "Skyracos: The Mining Mess"

| April 25, 2013

Our friend John Picha, the driving force behind our recent Dieselpunk ePulp anthology, has certainly been busy this year.

But before we go into detail about his latest work, I want to say a few things about the man behind the fedora. You should know that John is a fierce supporter of DIY publishing. His work within our community has helped blaze a trail for those who were either too unsure about the eBook process to try it, or were simply too scared to take the plunge by themselves. He’s been a leader in our e-Publishing circle, and along with fellow authors like David Mark Brown, Bard Constantine, Grant Gardiner, and Jack Philpott, he has really opened new avenues of creativity that were previously unknown to dieselpunks.

I support what John and these authors are doing, and I think you should as well. Now, let’s get to the good stuff.

The Skyracos ePulp has Arrived!

Cover of Skyracos: The Mining MessHave you dreamt of visiting alien worlds? Ever wished you could zip through space via jet pack? What if you could defy gravity and freely explore unknown realms? Imagine being a space adventurer, paid to meet and greet alien cultures, while representing and protecting all of humanid-kind. You’d live to tell tales of glory. You’d be the stuff of legends. Sounds like a dream job, right? Well, no job is perfect, and there is a high price for this fantasy. That’s reality for a Skyraco.

In “Skyracos: The Mining Mess”, recent recruit Chip Daniels wants to be a hero, but gets more than he bargained for once encased in his streamlined flight-suit. Chip and the rest of Unit 9901 are ordered to investigate the outbreak of a mysterious plague in an isolated mining colony. What starts out as a game quickly unravels into a life or death crisis. Notions of good and evil spin into a nightmare of moral ambiguity, which challenges Chip’s definition of heroics.

“Skyracos: The Mining Mess” is a retro sci-fi ePulp adventure tale of flying men forged from the same mettle as Flash Gordon, John Carter and the Rocketeer.

Free Dieselpunk Book – The Dieselpunk ePulp Showcase (volume 1)

| March 7, 2013

Do you need more gritty, hard-boiled noir in your life?  Do you feel the urge to drag on your beaten coat, tip your fedora to just the right angle, and slum it in a smoky speakeasy?  Do the grimy streets of another age call to you from deep within your blood?  If so, then do I have the book for you.

Featuring works by our very own Grant Gardiner, John Picha, Bard Constantine, and Jack Philpott, the writers of Dieselpunks.org would like to present the very first Dieselpunk ePulp Showcase.

These four tales embody the spirit of another age and are absolutely free to download.

Dieselpunk book coverFor 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” by Grant Gardiner.

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?” by John Picha.

“The Wise Man Says” by Bard Constantine 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.

Our last tale is set in the World of Mañana by Jack Philpott…

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 “Friend of the Spirits.”
