Pulp Magazine Authors and Literature Fans discussion

Since we were talking about her, here is an interview I did with in 2005. Wow! I hadn't realized it was that long ago. She talks a little bit about her love of pulp and hardboiled novels. Enjoy!

Thanks for sharing this link with us! I've never read any of Faust's work (and probably won't --I'm personally not really a noir fan), but you did a really good job in the interview; it gives readers a solid feel for where the lady is coming from, and how she feels about her writing.

I like Mickey Spillane & all, so I really enjoyed the interview. I've never liked pro wrestling, though. Money Shot didn't look to have any of that in it, so I put it on my wish list on Amazon. Thanks for posting this.

I enjoyed Money Shot and I love pro wrestling in all its incarnations, so I'm really looking forward to Hoodtown. I also have some of Faust's media tie-ins (Friday the 13th: The Jason Strain and A Nightmare on Elm Street: Dreamspawn), which I will probably read, too, some day. Even though they're "hired gun" novels, I like where she's coming from, so I figure they're worth reading.

Thanks for posting that interview, Joe! It's a good one.

Glad you all enjoyed the interview.
Jim - As the title may or may not make clear, Money Shot is set in the world of adult fims. It's definitely a brutal piece ... but I enjoyed it.

Adam - It was actually a mutual love of lucha libre that happenstanced the two of us together ... she and I were travelling in the same circles and didn't realize it. I think Hoodtown is awesome, she really develops a strange alternate-reality world, kinda like Burgess A Clockwork Orange, but with wrestlers. As for the tie-ins, she drops some neat tidbits in them, including a Shell Scott reference in her Twilight Zone volume...

As a follow-up, here was is an interview with small press publisher Keith Rainville, who published Hoodtown through FPU.
