Okay, bibliophiles, I’m in need of recs again. Which planetary romance/space fantasy do you love? Can be a novel, novella, or short story, old or new. #booksky #sciencefiction #fantasy #planetaryromance

A woman in a yellow silken gown sits on a plush red couch, holding up one arm for a white bird. Through the window behind her can be seen a fantastic Arabian-style city on an alien ocean.

Are you a fan of Planetary Romance like the Barsoom novels? You may enjoy Edgar Rice Burroughs other series, The Amtor series, set on Venus. I myself also enjoy the Callisto series by Lin Carter. #PlanetaryRomance kinda combines #SpaceOpera with #SwordandSorcery. #BookSky #SciFi #Fantasy

An Alien Birdman flies over a strange city on Venus. The cover to Edgar Rice Burroughs Pirates of Venus.

A strange Viking like airship soars over an alien landscape on the cover of Lin Carter’s novel, Jandar of Callisto

She’s been boxed up for 5ish years but time has come to stop waiting for the perfect display case and just go ahead put my Dejah Thoris statue (from @collectsideshow.bsky.social ) on my shelf. She's majestic!

Dejah Thoris statue. She's lounging on a pile of cushions and holding a gun.

Finally, the weird fiction you've been searching for • By Brad D. Sibbersen • Welcome home • 😱

#weirdfiction #pulpfiction #fantasticfiction #fringescience #steampunk #gaslamp #retropulp #pulpfantasy #weirdfantasy #scientificromance #planetaryromance #darkacademia #gothic #retroscifi #horrorfiction

MONSTERS, ZOMBIES, AND MAD SCIENCE • This pulp-infused, triple-threat omnibus collects the premiere installments of Inept Concepts' three most popular ongoing series for your reading convenience! First: Welcome to Mad Science U, the tale of a boy, a girl, another girl, a whole sorority full of girls, and a mysterious, top-secret university that more than justifies the dark in dark academia. Next, Pulp: Monsters, the premiere volume in a series dedicated to replicating the pulp shorts and serials of yore, this installment concentrating solely on tales of monsters, in the glorious vein of 1970s' horror comics! Finally, Night of the Lunar Dead, in which the irrepressible – or is that irresponsible? – Mr. K attempts to quell a zombie outbreak on the moon, with, er, middling success. It's an avalanche of pulp punk, post-steampunk, science-wonder goodness; the fantastic, pulse-pounding weird fiction it seemed like nobody was writing anymore. Welcome home. (Now available via Apple Books)

Barsoom is all about the romance. 'The Panthan' returns! Pgs 69-71 live today, albeit in black and white. Could be time to find a colorist, don't think I have it in me anymore.

Various first issues for Buck Rogers. #ComicSky #SciFi #RipvanWinkle #TheFuture #SpaceOpera #PlanetaryRomance #Classic #PopaZapinYoAss

Cover for TSR’s Buck Rogers Comics Module issue 1.

Three people with ray guns run towards the viewer with a Rocketship and people wearing jetpacks behind them.

Issue 1 cover of Buck Rogers by Howard Chaykin.

Buck and Wilma in jetpacks with crazy stuff behind them.

Issue for Dynamite’s Buck Rogers issue 1.

Cover by Alex Ross. Some Tron looking people fly into space with some glowy spaceships behind them going zoom

Cover for Gold Key’s Buck Rogers: In the 25th Century issue 1.

A man is tormented by tiny green elves who escaped from the shelf, as we always knew they would, with spaceships exploding and the green elves desperately trying to get at the star on the helmet of the man. I’m sure they intend to eat the man, like all Elves on the Shelf want to do. This isn’t an incoherent rant. You’re an incoherent rant.

Cosmic horror but make it funny

In my latest post, I reflect on the kinds of stories I most like to read, and maybe should write as I seem to be running out of them.
