Good Pulp Books?

She actually wrote the first draft of Empire Strikes Back. George Lucas claims he had never read her work before doing Star Wars, but I call bullshit. She passed before Empire was released, but it’s believed that she created Yoda and had Luke and Leia as siblings in her script.
EDIT - Tim, PM me your address, I’ll send you mine. I’m upgrading to hardcover.

A Rendezvous in Averoigne, by Clark Ashton Smith, holds a permanent spot in my bookcase. Smith wrote stories featuring the Cthulhu Mythos and contributed greatly to that pantheon. He also wrote pulp stories within several other settings, including Hyperborea, Poseidonis, Averoingne, and Zothique. Necromancy is a recurring concept in his stories. A Rendezvous in Averoigne is a good collection of his stories that offers samples of each of these settings.

Harold Lamb wrote a series of stories about Khlit the Cossack that are pretty damn entertaining.

All the Conan stories by R E Howard are awesome.
All the Fafherd and Gray Mouser books by Fritz Lieber are great.
Short stories by Issac Asimov and Ray Bradbury are superb and can be found in the many anthologies published over the years.
If you want sort of noir pulp read Dashiell Hammett who wrote the Maltese Falcon among others.

Yes, and Lieber also wrote some fine horror stories and some interesting science-fiction. It's hard to believe that there hasn't been a Fafhrd and the Gary Mouser movie or tv show yet.

While everybody has heard of Conan the barbarian, Howard wrote some other interesting characters like Kull and Solomon Kane. He also wrote some good horror stories, like Pigeons from Hell.

The El Borak stories from Howard are fucking rad too.
