Pulp Fantasy recommendations

[Erin Painter Baker]

I'm not entirely certain I understand what "pulp" is but based on your liking the Dresden Series I would suggest the Greywalker series by Kat Richardson. The main character is a private detective who dies for about 2 minutes and when she comes back she's a Greywalker. Explaining exactly what that is, is rather difficult. You'd have to read the books to understand. Anyway, as she learns about her new power she starts to attract more supernatural clientele. There some romance, some mystery and some vampires. Each book is around 300 pages so they're fairly quick reads.

Thanks for the recommendation. I will definitely check those out. If those are books you really like, if you haven't read Lilith Saintcrow, I would highly recommend her works.

It seems that I am beginning to understand what "pulp" is. Perhaps the books about Conan the Barbarian can be defined as "pulp fantasy"?

One more question. You mentioned Burroughs. He wrote about Mars, and his books should be defined as science fiction. However, his Mars is not real Mars. I think this is more fantasy than science fiction.

And yes, now a days we might consider Edgar Rice Burroughs's Mars series more fantasy, but at the time, it was definitely considered science fiction. People at the time really thought there were canals on Mars. Plus there were air ships and advanced technology. So I still classify it that way.

Perhaps we can define these books as vintage science fiction?

Absolutely. They are definitely vintage science fiction.
