In a time before junk television, there was junk literature. Authors wrote fast. Publishers churned it out on coarse paper. Teachers and parents threw it out. It existed only to make one dreadful penny at a time, entertaining readers with scurrilous ideas and cheap thrills.
CT Liotta has spent the past four years reading pulp magazines and novels from the '30s and '40s. With a Lester Dent writing guide in his pocket, confident of the form and formula, he intends to put a modern twist on rough-written, imperfect, often ridiculous 25-to-50-page short tales.
