Asimov. Herbert. Bradbury. Clarke. Dick. Titans of Science Fiction have risen from the faded, low-quality quagmire of the pulp era. Yet for every one Vonnegut Jr, there are hundreds of hobbyist writers who had access to a typewriter, an idea about giant bugs, and an unapologetic urge to self-insert. But perhaps there are hidden gems - treasures buried in the pile of blatant sensationalism found at every thrift shop and grandfather's attic?
Join Jake as he delves into the world of mid-century trashy science fiction, buxom space babes, fishbowl helmets and alien creatures a 5-year-old could've drawn, to see if he can find something truly remarkable. Or at least mildly entertaining.
