The Dictionary of Snow Hill by Jess Nevins
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 1.3 MB
Overview: The Dictionary of Snow Hill is an encyclopedia guide to the greatest metropolis of the 1930s and the heroes and villains within it. Science adventurers, mad scientists, insane killer vigilantes, giant apes–they all lived in and around the sprawling, energetic city of Snow Hill, Maryland (the largest city in America) and adventured there. Readers will discover the exploits and losses, the triumphs and tragedies, of Michael Ferrum (a.k.a. “Doc Bronze), the greatest adventurer in the world, assisted by his lieutenants, the Sensational Six; Havelock Black, the unmatched consulting detective; Howard Stein, the Garbo-obsessed mad scientist and creator of a variety of species of talking gorillas; El Aguila, the foremost luchador and hero of all Mexico; L’Ivoire Comte, the world weary albino European master thief; Anton Weird, the “Doctor of Destinies;” and many more.
The Dictionary of Snow Hill is a loving homage to the best aspects of the pulp magazines of the 1920s and 1930s and to authors as varied as Peter Ackroyd, Ryunosuke Akutagawa, Margaret Irwin, H.P. Lovecraft, Nelson Algren, and William Hope Hodgson. Written as an homage of Milorad Pavic’s The Dictionary of the Khazars, the Dictionary of Snow Hill is both New Pulp and Old, pastiche and tribute, adventure novel and tragedy, romance and science fiction. Fans of the pulp characters will find the familiar and the unexpected in the Dictionary; those who have never read the pulps will find much to enjoy.
