Может оказаться интересным:
Malmont, Paul: The Chinatown Death Cloud Peril
Historical adventure novel, the author's first novel, with fantasy elements about pulp writers Walter Gibson and Lester Dent, creators of The Shadow and Doc Savage, and they investigate parallel mysteries that involve H.P. Lovecraft, L. Ron Hubbard, Louis L'Amour, and Orson Welles.
Цитата: "Gary K. Wolfe reviews the book in the June issue of Locus Magazine, saying the book "works on one level as a trivia fest for pulp fans and on another as an effort to re-create, with a fair amount of comic and ironic overtones, the outlandish pacing and overbaked prose of the pulps themselves" and concludes that the book "is exhilarating, and for those who've never heard of Dent or Gibson, it's a fair approximation of what all the fuss was about."
Duncan, Dave: Children of Chaos
Fantasy novel, first of a duology, set on a dodecahedral world and concerning four children taken as hostages in a war who are reunited years later.
Дилогия называется The Dodec Books. Название второго романа - Mother of Lies.
Отрывок - на сайте автора.
Цитата: "Faren Miller reviews the book in the June issue of Locus Magazine, saying that Duncan "packs a remarkable amount of multi-culturalism, interesting characters, and unusual (sometimes brutal) magic into less than 400 pages."
А вот это просто забавно:
