Powder Blue Pulp

Powder Blue Pulp is the online fictional home of Patrick Glancy. Not in the sense that he pretends he lives here, because he isn’t that far gone yet, but it is your one-stop shop for all short fiction written by him. True to the nature of old school pulp publishers, that includes science fiction, fantasy, fairy tales, autobiographical fiction/personal essays, and his particular favorite, crime fiction. You might even find the occasional book or film review. Some of it has previously been published, a lot of it is brand new. Regardless of your personal taste, we hope you’ll find it all worth a look. Most stories are available on a free subscription, but a paid subscription will unlock bonus stories and potentially other goodies as we come up with them. Plus, you’ll get the satisfaction of knowing you’re contributing in some small way to pay for braces for Patrick’s youngest son, which is always much appreciated.

Powder Blue Pulp also acts as the publisher for Patrick Glancy’s upcoming crime novel. More information on that will be available soon, but we’re very excited to bring it to you! For now, we are not accepting submissions for books or short fiction, but that could change in the future. Check back here for updates.

Thanks for taking the time to check us out, and we hope you’ll hang around!
