Prologue Books: Pulp and Noir
Anyone familiar with the publisher Prologue Books? I just found a couple hundred titles at Kobo and Amazon; looks like they're mostly e-book reissues of old pulp and noir. Authors represented include Peter Rabe, Richard Deming, Gil Brewer, Fletcher Flora, Henry Kane; lots more. Prices are about $3.50.

It looks like a treasure trove; I don't even know where to start!

Here's the Prologue Books website.

These books are not available at Munseys, at least none of the ones I checked are.

I haven't seen this before, and it looks interesting.

I see they are going to have a free book 4/29 to 5/5.

Here's a MUCH better cover than the one used by Prologue Books.

I think the point was more that there are a huge range of genre fiction books available for FREE rather than the exact same titles...

Don, when are you going to post some Jake Hunter novels?
"The Case Of The Girl Who Was Shot In Her Stupid Face" should be public domain.

And my point is that this is a new source for genre fiction.

Which I think everybody got... and the munseys was being offered as ANOTHER source, not a competing one just free rather than paid... personally I'll check out a free book source first in preference to a paid one as it may provide more than enough to not spend money...

I'd never heard about that site. I'll be checking that out immediately. Thanks!

- Upon checking... Holy cats. I'll be spending a lot of time there. Thanks a second time.
