New Pulp premiere authors Win Scott Eckert and Frank Schildiner discussed their upcoming novels published by Meteor House Press.
It’s Always Darkest by Frank Schildiner
This story is set in the Empire of the Nine Universe in the 1970 and involves a a “side story” about another heroic character who became a Candidate of the Nine and how he responds to the revolt of Lord Grandrith and Doc Caliban. This is an homage to the Men’s Adventure stories of the 70s and 80s. It should a run ride!

Win Eckert has taken several fragments from Phil’s “Magic Filing Cabinet” and is fleshing out the story using them while following Phil’s original outline. Meanwhile, Win has added elements from other stories from Phil and others which he lists in the podcast) with the intention of also speculating about unanswered questions in those works (including Up Earth’s Center. I have been waiting for almost 40 years for this story and I am so excited about its up coming publication.
