About Us

ABOUT VIRTUAL PULP:

UPDATE: VP is going back to it’s roots as a book-focused site. And that means not just a lot of reviews, but also a healthy dose of author interviews. The newest contributor, the INFAMOUS REVIEWER GIO, has been studying and analyzing books for 40 years, and is a valued reviewer here at VP. He is sifting through the literary landscape and uncovering a lot of quality fiction being written independent from the New York Publishing Cartel, in recent years.
Gio has his own method for finding books to review, then tracking down the author for an interview on occasion. He also has his own standards for what he will consider reading.
If, for some reason, you want Hank to review your book, please read this post before inquiring. It could save wasted time and effort for all involved.
Some other bloggers have joined me at Virtual Pulp from time to time, but have come and gone. Gio seems to enjoy what he’s doing, so hopefully he will stick around.

VP began as an intended second advent of pulp fiction/men’s adventure in an electronic format–somewhat motivated by the quixotic desire to counteract all the feminization and dumbing-down that has wreaked havoc on the male of the species. That’s still part of what we’re about, but we’re in an ongoing process of removing self-imposed restrictions.

In our fiction, we don’t merely duplicate the material we enjoyed as boys and young men. Our efforts concentrate on retaining the attractive elements (namely action, adventure, and larger-than-life characters) while perfecting the weak links in much pulp and men’s fiction in years gone by (plotting, character development, accuracy in details, etc.). Our fiction also provides readers a respite from the obligatory feminist tropes and typical left-wing bias which permeates nearly every form and item of entertainment available today. (Available anywhere else, that is.)

In addition to generating our own material, even the authors here are always on the lookout for those diamonds in the rough…and of course we share our findings with those of similar tastes–mostly through this blog.

About the Two-Fisted Blogger:

Hank Brown became a blogger by accident…if you believe in accidents.

I was attempting to take advantage of something Google offered, was filling in fields on page after page of especially tedious registration forms, and budaboom! Next thing I know, I have my own blog.

That’s not the whole story, though. Truth is, I had considered blogging before, but decided against it because I already had too many things competing for my limited time.

“It’s an omen!” sez I. “I shall become a bat.” Oops. No, wait…wrong Omen Reaction Vow. Sorry, Bruce. “I shall become a blogger,” sez I.

It was destiny, see? The Two-Fisted Blog was soon in business, providing an online “man cave” for those who love books, movies and other entertainment with a high testosterone quotient.

    1. Hi Chris; thanks for the interest. I still have a twitter account (MachineTrooper) but don’t tweet a lot. I’m reducing my Internet presence but will probably continue blogging here for the forseeable future. Also, you might want to check out this site:
