As some of you have heard, Bizarchives is in a tough spot. The future is uncertain, and there’s a possibility that your favorite pulp publisher maybe (temporarily) shutting its doors. Sounds awful, right? After all we have done to popularize pulp fiction for dissidents and normies alike…
That’s the bad news. The good news is that we can keep the lights on if you fine people shell out a few bucks to buy our books. Deal?
Look, I know the global economy is not grand right now. Plus, our readers are disproportionally from the righteous working and middle classes. Money is tight, and a book can sometimes be an extravagant expense. However, the Bizarchives is a one-hundred-percent independent operation run almost exclusively by Big Dave. It’s one of the little guys going to war against the literary cabal on your behalf. The very least you could do is open up that abused wallet and purchase one book (or maybe three).
If you’re still on the fence, then let me set a nice table. Here are the five books that I personally loved the most and would recommend for any prospective buyer.
All the Bizarchives Collections
We started this thing of ours as a way to recapture the magic of the original pulps. Those glorious magazines, from Weird Tales to Amazing Stories and others, specialized in outlandish short stories and novelettes meant to thrill and entertain the common man. Starting in 2021, the Bizarchives began putting out new pulp from great and previously overlooked writers from all over the world. Some of these writers had been toiling away in the trenches as unrecognized geniuses for years before Big Dave gave them the call. Others proved themselves to be prodigies with less than a year of writing experience. Both helped to turn The Bizarchives into the best and most innovative new pulp magazine on the market. Any issue is worth the price.
Spire by A. Cuthbertson
Widely praised upon its release in October 2022, Spire is a taut and frenetically-paced science fiction novella set in the wastes of a human mining colony on a planet simply known as IV. Read along as Thaig attempts to uncover the dark secrets about the obsidian monolith at the heart of IV’s hellish existence. Easily one of the best horror-sci-fi books in decades.
The Horror Beneath by C.P. Webster
Lovecraft meets Hammer Horror. That’s a pithy, but apt description of C.P. Webster’s exquisite novel, The Horror Beneath. Real estate agent Clive Wingood must discover what happened to the last owner of Marchley Howe, and what he uncovers is shockingly diabolical and eldritch. Don’t go into the basement!
The Chronicles of Heraldria: Sacred Times - Part One by Marcus S. Jones
High fantasy and sword and sorcery were both born in the pulps. Author Marcus S. Jones knows this, and thus his novel is both elaborate and two-fisted. Presented as a full world, with its own history and mythology, The Chronicles of Heraldria: Sacred Times - Part One concerns one hard-bitten veteran’s quest to fulfill an ancient prophecy. A must-have for any fans of Tolkien, Robert E. Howard, and Fritz Leiber.
The Casebook of Patrick Midnight
Patrick Midnight is a special agent working on behalf of a shadowy private organization of military officers, European aristocrats, and American industrialists. His enemies are Bolsheviks, occultists, vampires, and crooks of many different stripes. Midnight does not work alone—he is aided by the possessing ghost of his ancestor, Reverend Blackstone of 17th century Rhode Island. This collection of short tales harkens back to the glory days of pulp.

Cheers, and thank you!
I'll buy some for myself but is there anything you'd recommend that I can pick up for my son? He's nearly 12. We're full tilt on classic action movies this summer so some violence is fine for me.
I picked up a copy of the Horror Beneath. Good luck and keep rockin'.
