Moons Of Saturn, “Autumn” Pulp Lit Appears In Computer Cave Mailbox

So, okay, it’s late, but then we’re still in the midst of a pandemic. Also it crossed a border from Canada so let’s just celebrate that it’s here. The “it” in question being the Autumn 2020 issue of PULP LITERATURE (see December 22, et al.), arrived at last! And the item of interest, “Moons of Saturn,” originally published in TOMORROW, July 1993, as well as reprinted in my collection THE TEARS OF ISIS.*

As for “Moons,” this is the description I used with the original submission: A man and a highly imaginative woman watch extensive TV coverage of the Voyager missions past Saturn while the woman grows progressively more ill. And as for its fellow contents in the issue at hand, as the magazine’s editors say themselves, [b]ecause our title says “Pulp” Literature, some authors assume we want guns and blood. The pulp in our title refers to cheap pulp paper of dimestore novels and digests of the past. We want our magazine to include a balance of all genres, including fantasy, romance, mystery, literary, etc. PULP LITERATURE is in fact a rather classy literary magazine and a fairly hefty one as well, with just short of a dozen stories, poetry, an interview, and a graphic memoir at a bit over two hundred pages in all. Or to see for oneself press here.
