PulpFest 2025

For more than 50 years, PulpFest has celebrated mystery, adventure, science fiction, and other popular fiction. The pulp magazines of the early twentieth century - cheaply-priced all-fiction magazines printed on pulpwood paper - were the vessel where the hardboiled detective, science fiction, and sword and sorcery genres developed and flourished. The pulps gave us Buck Rogers, Conan the Barbarian, Cthulhu, Doc Savage, Hopalong Cassidy, John Carter of Mars, Sam Spade, The Shadow, Tarzan, Zorro, and many other pop culture icons.
