Not exactly sure I get your meaning. Adventure/Pulp style fiction can be
written about this modern digital age. The whole Splatterpunk stuff fer
instance.
If you mean old pulp writers remaining in PRINT vs. DIGITAL, I'd bet on
print for the most part. Received the latest Bud Plant catalog and
noticed that Zorro reprints, Spider reprints, and some Shadow reprints
are available. I've read a few of these and wasn't really all that
impressed. The "hero" pulps are fun but not too literary IMHO.
Except for the Black Mask guys I'm thinking the best pulp writers wrote
short stories not novels. I've taken to reading various short stories
lately. I think some of REH's best stuff stacks up OK along side short
story masters like Poe, London, Hemingway. I read a short story by
Raymond Carver called "Cathedral" that is just terrific. REH never did
anything that good but Carver himself probably never wrote anything else
that good either.
