Summary
"BLACK PULP returns with BLACK PULP II, a new volume of stories featuring characters of African origin, or descent, at the forefront. Developed by noted crime novelist Gary Phillips, BLACK PULP II brings together familiar authors and characters from the first anthology while introducing new creators and concepts crafting exciting new fiction with heroes of a darker hue. Between these covers are 12 new tales of action, adventures, and thrills presented by some of the most talented authors in New Pulp and Genre Fiction!"-- Page 4 of cover
"For New Pulp has revived and expanded our notions of heroes and heroines in the tradition of those 1930s blood and thunder tales. It turns out these larger-than-life characters can be of many hues and ethnicities, of people who decades ago might have at best been an aide to the adventurer or more likely portrayed stereotypically if at all, but now take center stage!"-- Page IX of introduction
