Do
you need more gritty, hard-boiled noir in your life? Do you feel the urge
to drag on your beaten coat, tip your fedora to just the right angle, and slum
it in a smoky speakeasy? Do the grimy streets of another age call to you
from deep within your blood? If so, read on.
Featuring works by Grant Gardiner, John
Picha, Bard Constantine, and Jack Philpott, the writers of Dieselpunks.org
would like to present the very first Dieselpunk ePulp Showcase.
These four tales embody the spirit of
another age and are absolutely free to download.
For
young hoods, the Aether Age streets of mob-plagued Chicago present a world of
opportunity. And Mack and Mickey are headed straight for the top in "That
Sort of World: a Tale of the Aether Age" by Grant Gardiner.
It's
class-warfare in Citadel City as Pandora Driver and her Car of Tomorrow deliver
rough justice to the elites and a douche named the Gooch in "Who are
the People in your Neighborhood?" by John Picha.
"The
Wise Man Says" by Bard Constantine introduces Mick Trubble: a hard
drinking, chain smoking charmer who bites off more than he can chew... then
chews like hell. The Troubleshooter takes the grit and slang of a hardboiled
detective and drops it in a dystopian setting that mixes Fedoras, trench coats,
flying cars and android policemen.
Our
last tale is set in the World of Mañana by Jack Philpott…
The
dirty streets of Roanoketown were his home and his only family, until he met
HER. Now he'll follow HER into hell, tamahaak held high, and fight as a
proud Indian against the Anglo Oppressors. He'll wager his life to be a
true "Friend of the Spirits."
