Coming in 2026

 

Pulp Has a Home

I might be a little late to the game, but for almost a year now the Pulp Underground has functioned as a home for all things pulp fiction. From classic stories written a century ago to New Pulp storylines, much like the Captain Hawklin Adventures are featured there by writers like Bobby Nash, John C Bruening, and Jim beard. 

If you’re into pulp style storytelling, and if you’re here at ChooseTheAdventure.net there’s a good chance that you are, then come on over to the Underground, join in on the conversations. 

Work on Stormgate Has Begun

The Stormgate novel featuring the first team-up of New Pulp characters created by Charles F. Millhouse including: Captain Steven Hawklin, Zane Carrington, Jack Saxxon, the Purple Mystique, Night Vision and many more. 

Release date is pending, but the tentative date is July, 2026. More details coming soon.

But in the shadows, a far more sinister game was unfolding. Notorious gangster Bobby “Two Tone” Boyce had set his sights on greed and power, determined to destroy everything Stanley stood for.
