Pulp Press
Review by Cathi Unsworth
Pulp Press showcases a talent whose precociousness transcends the boundaries of exploitation fiction. Young Irish writer Alan Kelly’s Let Me Die a Woman – the title itself a homage to Doris Wishman’s 1978 documentary on transgender identity and ‘the third sex’ — is a mash-up of horror, sci-fi, queercore, folk and fairytale, that is possessed of such audacious wit and originality that it seems the author has created a whole new trans-genre of his own.
Brighton’s Pulp Press have been on a mission to rekindle the appeal of ‘fiction the way it used to be,’ since the imprint kicked into life last year with founder Danny Hogan’s Killer Tease. A cute pocket-sized paperback with cover art that evoked the golden age of Black Mask and Pan, a story concerning a vengeful burlesque bombshell that Russ Meyer would have been proud...

Author: Danny Hogan
It’s hardly a surprise that Miramax looked at the buying options for Danny Hogan’s brazen novella Killer Tease. At a mere 23,000 words, this little book would make the perfect template for a film. A compact little book which is guaranteed to never let your attention waver.
Killer Tease has as its center-piece Eloise Murphy. She isn’t pleasant, she is a down and dirty dangerous woman whose been pissed off once to often. This slim little book should be handed out as a how-to-crush-a-potential-rapists-nuts-manual to every naive 16 year old girl (and boy!) – Eloise is a burlesque star at a sleazy seaside resort until a punter chances his arm and near loses it. Shortly thereafter Eloise is exiting stage left, blackmailed into working for a ferrety pimp who happens to have in his possession some unsavory pictures from her past, she inexorably drawn into a trafficking racket.
