Inspired by YouTuber Raz0rfist’s call for us to reject modernity and embrace the pulps of yesteryear, RIDICULUM is the first in the ongoing anthology series from 01Publishing. Entitled, IMMORTAL CLASSICS, the series promises to provide high-quality / low-price anthologies that collect the best of the Golden Age pulps and make them readily available.
Drunk Martian frogs!
Time traveling troublemakers!
Absurdist dystopian societies!
Hot inter-dimensional redheads!
Marxist Robots!
And of course…
Hyperintelligent mice toppling the national security state!
Let’s face it, we live in an age where there is too much doom and gloom on the bookstore shelves. But not to worry, my friends! Author J. Ishiro Finney (Casefile: Arkham, World War Kaiju) has brought together thirteen classic pulp tales from the Golden Age of science fiction.
RIDICULUM (Latin for ridiculous) is a 268-pages anthology featuring stories by likes of John D. MacDonald, Philip K. Dick, Robert Sheckley, C. L. Moore, Harry Harrison, Murray Leinster, Henry Kuttner, and more. Among the stories to appear is a newly transcribed version of John D. MacDonald’s forgotten sci-fi gem, Ring Around the Redhead. Featuring striking cover art by underground comics artist, James Edward Clark, RIDICULUM is arguably the best anthology of pulp humor you’ll ever come across.
