Yesterday I mentioned the upcoming Pulp Fest, but many pulp fans may not be aware of the Pulp Fiction Collection at the Library of Congress. The collection has works dating from the 1920s to the 1950s, totaling approximately 14,000 issues from 310 titles such as Amazing Stories, Black Mask, and Weird Tales. Another good collection can be found in the George Kelly Paperback and Pulp Fiction Collection at the University of Buffalo. The Kelly collection includes 25,000 books and zines from the 1940s through the 1980s, with detective/mystery authors Richard Blaine, Carter Brown, James M. Cain, George C. Chesbro, John W. Corrington, Sean Flannery, Donald Hamilton, Marcia Muller, Gerald Petievich, Mike Warden, Erle Stanley Gardner, and Dashiell Hammett. For pulp hot off the press, check out links to contemporary publications on the Crime Zine Report.
