The Pulp Lit Pulpit #10: Brandon Crilly’s Best Books and Why We Write

The Stories Behind Our Stories

No matter how embarrassing it might be to re-read now, there is a special place in a writer’s heart for that first ever story. I can still remember the thrill of completing a short epistolary novel from the perspective of a raven named Midnight when I was in the fourth grade. Though my illustrations are a bit lacking, the book still sits in my living room, bound in neon pink cloth. In Episode 10 of the Pulp Lit Pulpit, you can look forward to editors Jen, Gen, Mel, and Brooklynn discussing what first drew us to writing and how their work has evolved. 

Also in Episode 10, you can look forward to an interview with author Brandon Crilly who has been published in Pulp Literature Issue 16 and most recently in Issue 29. In this interview, Brandon talks about his favourite books, cautious optimism, and what he believes is the greatest story never told. You can find Brandon on Twitter and on his website.

Be sure not to miss JM Landels’s reading of the next part of Allaigna’s Song where Allaigna returns from her truant ride to find the castle full of injured soldiers.  In the next chapter of Stella Ryman and the Fairmount Manor Mysteries , read by Mel Anastasiou, Stella brews a cup of tea and seeks to clear the name of an innocent woman.   

Your host,
