Cage Match: Readers’ Choice

The Pulp Lit editors selected the eight first-page entries that enticed us enough to want to read more. These eight quarter-finalist authors then sent along the first ten pages (2500 words) of their manuscripts. You’ll hear our votes soon enough, but now it’s time for you, our discerning readers, to join the fun!

Get a taste of the literary adventure, and be among the first to read these fabulous story openers. Then cast your vote in our Readers’ Choice poll, and help decide which author will triumph.

Read the first page of each story, and let the literary showdown begin!

In this corner, it’s …

Frost by Adam Fout, which you can read here.

And in this corner, it’s …

Everlastingness by Shanna Yetman, which you can read here.
