Unsolicited Press rated it it was amazing Oct 21, If the history of the 21st-century pulp fiction revival is ever written, Empire State might well be seen as its starting point.

Empire State is a homage to all things pulp, a multi-genre mash-up of a novel that collides fictional tropes such as a literary particle accelerator, while hoping like hell the thing holds together — which on the whole it does quite admirably.

The greatest pulp authors capture a rockstar status that few writers can dream of. The young Harlan Ellison , who went on to march beside Martin Luther King and allegedly slept with more than women in the heyday of his literary superstardom, survived the early years of his career in New York by writing short stories overnight and selling them the next day to cover food and rent.

Philip K Dick famously wrote The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch in six weeks while high on speed, thereby becoming part of the legend which continues to sell millions of books, despite or perhaps because of their frequent clunking literary mishaps. Adam Christopher might just be out to channel some of that rock'n'roll pulp fiction chic in his debut novel Empire State.
