Please recommend long pulp series

GERGE · 10-13-2017, 09:00 AM

Hi,

I am very busy with work these days, I would like to read some simple, humorous and long pulp fiction series.

One point-of-view, nothing to do with military, and fantasy (not urban fantasy) are must haves. I also don't care much for romance.

Also, I don't have access to Kindle Unlimited. Books should be available in Google Play Books. Mostly a monetary problem, Google Play Books sells with locally adjusted prices for me. Amazon is fine for one or two books but not for long series.

Thanks.

Try this page:

http://manybooks.net/categories/PUL

All the books are either public domain or creative commons, in other words, free. I'm not sure what Turkey's copyright laws are.
BEWARE manybooks do now carry some books which are priced, just avoid these if you want.
Also, if you find a book you like, check to see if it's in the MobileRead library - the books here are better formatted than they are at manybooks.

Have fun!

Do you mean pulp stories from the 30s - 50s?

And, if so, what genre?

GERGE · 10-13-2017, 05:01 PM

Yeah. Sword & sorcery, fantasy...

Greg Anos · 10-13-2017, 05:08 PM

Robert E. Howard's Conan and Breckenridge Elkins stories. Short story series, not novels. . .

Greg Anos · 10-13-2017, 05:14 PM

What you'd really need is Doc Savage (183 novels), but it has never been released commercially, and the main writer won't go PD until 2030 in life + 70 countries.

To start:

1) Karl Edward Wagner (the Kane series)
2) Fritz Leiber (Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser series)
3) Lin Carter (Thongor series)
4) Adrian Cole (The Voidal series)
5) Joel Jenkins (Dire Planet series)

....although a number of them can be purchased from Amazon.

Also, I might add, there the ones continued by Will Murray. (I haven't read any of these, by the way.)

And The Spider, available from Radio Archives:

These are great reads, in my opinion.

GERGE · 10-14-2017, 08:53 AM

Thanks.

I read Leiber and Howard, but others are all new to me. I will start checking them. (I also made a 12 year calendar reminder with Google for Doc Savage =) )

The Destroyer Series by Richard Sapir & Warren Murphy. There are 145 books in the series.

Edgar Rice Burroughs has plenty of pulp fantasy series:
Tarzan
John Carter of Mars/Barsoom
Pellucidar
Caspak
Venus

There's also the Oz books, if that's your thing.

ZodWallop · 10-18-2017, 05:29 PM

I'd also second both Robert E. Howard's Conan and Fritz Lieber's Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser series

Never mind! I just saw your post
