Here begins our journey to the lost works of Detective& Mystery Fiction from its golden age in the early 1900s.
Hardbioled, Cosy, Sleuth and more. These genres were pionered in Pulp magazines like Black Mask and Detective Story Magazine by legendary writer like Raymond Chandler and Dashiel Hamnett.
This podcast aims to recover stories scattered across defunct magazines and fragile archives, making them accessible to modern listeners while maintaining their original tone, structure, and historical character.
This podcast is part of a broader preservation project, Pulp Archive, dedicated to documenting, restoring, and maintaining Pulp Fiction.
