In our series finale, Daniel and Linzi remember the good (and the bad) of this season's books: Stalker From the Stars, The Chiffon Scarf, Buddies, The Penetrator: The Target is H, and Some Sort of Spell. We are joined by your votes from the People's Pulpies survey, as well as call-in votes from Amber, Courtney of The Cult of Domesticity, and Jessie of Alphabet Flight. Expect at least one more episode this year, announcing updates on Linzi's (my) new project. For now, I will keep our Twitter and Instagram feeds going in case you want to say hi (and, selfishly, because that's where I can hang with my podfriends). Words really cannot express how much you have meant to us. Instead, we tip our hats and raise our not-so-pulpy glasses to you, dear listener, for your support. -- Follow and chat with us on social media: Twitter: @33_Pulp Instagram: @33pulp Web: 33pulp.com -- Credits: Editor: Linzi Intro and Category announcements: British Voice Pro  Music: "Bomb Timer Sound Effect."

Beatrice's half sister had done a lot of crazy things, but inviting Elliot Chalmers to temporarily share their home while his was being renovated--that was the limit! Everyone knew that Beatrice and Elliott had never seen eye to eye over her dedication to her orphaned siblings. He'd even nicknamed her "Cinders." Well, handsome prince or no, she hadn't invited him to interfere. And although silently grateful for the added household discipline, Beatrice drew the line where Elliott seemed most intent on crossing--her personal life! -- Some relevant characters: Beatrice Bellaire: Raised her siblings after they were orphaned. Cooks, cleans, and has endemic breasts that knock over bystanders. Has been body-shamed her whole life and has the self-esteem to prove it. Salmon lack nipples because she has all of them. Elliot Chalmers: under 6'. Has GIANT hands. Celebrates his birthday on days that aren't his birthday. His nanny still packs him sandwiches. Lucilla: Beatrice and Elliot's half-sister involved with a TV producer named Horrocks. Is so terrible it's a mystery why anyone talks to her.

In this episode, Linzi recaps the first third of Some Sort of Spell by Frances Roding. In this episode, we meet the Bellaire family and our protagonist Beatrice.

Our show reconstructs books that have been divided into thirds and assigned to three different hosts. We then recap the book in full over three episodes. In this episode, and over the course of several ambushes, we are reminded Mark Hardin can penetrate whoever he wants to. Meanwhile, Mark sends out some fancy ransom notes and readies his penetream for the final showdown. --- Check out Rob's other other podcast! This week, we discussed the podcast Limited Theories.

Infiltrate the enemy's position, determine the plan of action and then strike swiftly, taking out as many key men as possible, wreaking destruction, leaving chaos in your wake. Now he was in Los Angeles, engaged in a new, far more sinister war. But he was fully prepared and totally committed, and bound by no rules but his own. He is tall and slim, reflecting his unique Indian-Welsh background. His driver's license indicates his age is twenty-eight. If he seems a bit grim, it is for good reason. He was orphaned at four, when his parents and three brothers and sisters were killed in an automobile crash. Since then he's been mistreated, brutalized by life, injured in games (football), and wounded in combat. But he's survived. Mark Hardin is tough, a survivor. And an expert. Marksmanship, karate, aikido, and even the crossbow, are part of his arsenal. He is a new breed of warrior--without uniform, without rank--dedicated to the American way of life, and pledged to fight anyone who seeks to destroy it. On either side of the law. That's why he's in Los Angeles. Just the beginning of a long and lonely series of brushfire wars. -- Some relevant characters: Mark Hardin: 28 year-old Vietnam vet going through a mid-life crisis. Has very few emotions. On a mission to kill at least 100 people by the end of the book to avenge his friend, Donna Morgan. Skills range from makeup to grenade throwing. Donna Morgan: a USC anthropologist who could tell your genetic ancestry just by looking. RIP. Professor Haskins: Owner of the Stronghold. Donna's uncle.  David Red Eagle: "Old West" medicine man, trains Mark to be stealthy. Don Pietro Scarelli: runs a mafia crime ring and takes a lot of phonecalls. Pretty angry at current events and the man behind them (the penetrator). His Lordship: A mysterious person on the other end of Don's speakerphone. Is not Bosley. Senator Martyn Corvus: On a committee against organized crime, headed to California to figure out what's going on with all this dang heroin. Officer Kelly Patterson: Not just a cop. A massively racist Irish cop.  -- Support the show: Thanks to our sponsor, Audible, for giving our listeners a free audiobook credit by going to audibletrial.com/pulp! We now have a store!

Linzi recaps the conclusion to The Chiffon Scarf in our first FOUR-PERSON book recap! In this episode, Dorothy comes out of the woodwork, we still don't understand Averill's family tree, and Eden says yes. Twice. **NB: So...Daniel WAS present for this ep, but there was a bit of a miscommunication that left the editor without his track. He pops in near the back third of the ep!   --- From the back cover: MIGNON G. EBERHART WRITES A MYSTERY ABOUT MURDER IN THE SKY... Beautiful Eden Shore took a plane back to St. Louis for the wedding of an old friend. Swiftly, she made several new enemies--and fell in love with the prospective bridegroom. That was only the beginning of a seven-day nightmare--with a climactic flight into murder most foul. -- Some relevant characters: Eden Shore: Main character that wants to deliberately induce marriage...doesn't really matter to whom as long as they're alive. Averill Blaine: Longtime frenemy of Eden's, quite wealthy, has turned on her fiance Jim -- whom she now suspects of foul play. Jim Cady: Knows about airplane parts and where to stash them. Loves being engaged. Noel Carreaux: Used to having money and yet not as handsome or charming as Jim. Not an intellectual. Dorothy Woolen: Jim's very observant, detail-oriented, "doughy," secretary. Blends into scenery. PH Sloane: Ex-detective who regrets trading his magnifying glass for a ten-gallon hat. Lives on a dude ranch in the middle of nowhere. Somehow knows A LOT about his surprise guests. Roy Wilson: Someone who is missing. Possibly a lurker. -- Support the show: Thanks to our sponsor, Audible, for giving our listeners a free audiobook credit by going to audibletrial.com/pulp! We now have a store!

Mary and Mike recap this middle third of The Chiffon Scarf in our first FOUR-PERSON book recap! In this episode, they each take 16.67% (rounded up) of the middle third and walk us through some major developments: there's more bad news for the Blaine family, Eden gets her hands on everything, and Dorothy is still around. There are also several reminders this book was published in 1939, in the form of racial, gendered, and nativist stereotypes that are as subtle as a stranger on Sloane's ranch. **NB: We apologize for the audio quality.
