The rich history of Pulp stories are pure Americana. Written like a script from Film Noir movie, you are to be transported to a time in the 30's, 40's or 50's, where the liquor flowed freely and there was always a Crosley radio playing in some room off in the distance. Pulp Noir is more about a small slice or life...and usually a dark one.... Pour yourself a nice warm drink, dim the lights...conjure up in your consciousness; Femme Fatales, handguns, seedy bars, bad luck, thieves, scoundrels, a pack of Pall Mall's, low lighting, and definitely everything in glorious black and white.

From young women to elderly matrons, from the savvy sophisticates to the socially inept, the characters in these stories depict life's defining moments, where one calculated move cements the unalterable fate of another and the inescapable consequences of karma and conscience.

Sara non vuole esistere. Il suo dono è l'invisibilità, il talento di rubare i segreti delle persone. Capelli grigi, di una bellezza trattenuta solo dall'anonimato in cui si è chiusa, per amore ha lasciato tutto seguendo l'unico uomo capace di farla sentire viva. Ma non si è mai pentita di nulla e rivendica ogni scelta. Poliziotta in pensione, ha lavorato in un'unità legata ai Servizi, impegnata in intercettazioni non autorizzate. Il tempo le è scivolato tra le dita mentre ascoltava le storie degli altri.

Nimmt das Wildbret des Waidmanns seiner Frau die Luft zum Atmen? Kann Aberglaube Leben retten? Und warum starb der Büchernarr? Schon die kleinsten Unaufmerksamkeiten können tödliche Folgen haben. Bei Sekundenschlaf oder einem Postflug über den Dschungel in einer stürmischen Nacht ist das ja noch verständlich, bei einem Hexenturm oder einem Blind Date aber weniger. Und doch schleicht sich der Tod auf leisen Sohlen an. Wir schenken euch eine überraschende Wendung am Morgen, einen Schrecken gegen Mittag, eine Gänsehaut am Abend und spannende Träume für die Nacht.

"The Castle Orphans": "How often does he visit you?" added Watson, producing his pipe from his pocket. He searched the same pocket for a match then lit the device.
