In The Blood - A Series of Pulp Ficton Novels

In The Blood - A Series of Pulp Ficton Novels magazine cover

Word of two related projects, a new series echoing the 1970's novels written by Richard Allen and a rewrite of "Who the hells Frank Wilson" as part of this.

Release details below...

Penned by Soul and Mod-culture writers Snowy and Pete McKenna, IN THE BLOOD is the collective title for a new series of highly original pulp fiction novels inspired by and echoing the classic New English Library 1970's novels written by Richard Allen.

Featuring a bizarre often disturbing cast of characters in equally bizarre disturbing situations beginning in the 60's and ending in the 80's, the stories centre around the main character East End sharp Mod gangster Ronnie Hardman and his single minded obsession to get his hands on the world's rarest stateside Soul record Do I Love You by Frank Wilson.

Written with passion and unswerving attention to detail throughout, the stories combine a hedonistic often stomach churning recipe of style, mindless violence, sex, drugs and music. Ingredients when blended together make an emotional pizza you'll never be able to stop eating so kick back and enjoy! Destined to become future cult classics in their own right, buy now while stocks last. Keep The Faith and the torch burning. Snowy and Pete McKenna.

There is a new IN THE BLOOD fb page. For all updates on the five book forthcoming series that includes the brilliant WHO THE HELLS FRANK WILSON join the page.

IN THE BLOOD on the shelves in June.

The NEW ENGLISH LIBRARY novels were far from classic, if anything they were racist-flavoured trash, in the main written by RICHARD ALLEN who was a middle aged American who willingly exploited the Skinhead cult for his own gain...Hopefully these novels are better than those books which represent a definitive 'low' in contemporary youth cult fiction....

read to me like classic as in classic pulp fiction

doubt if anyone is calling the skinhead books classic in a standard literature sense, at least anyone who has read them

Hello Rich

Please let me assure you that the IN THE BLOOD books are from anything of a racist nature. True they are gritty, raw and at times bloody. Pete's reference to Allen's books relate more to the era's in which the stories are set. IN THE BLOOD for instance is 1967, WHO THE HELLS FRANK WILSON is 1976 and TALCUM LOVE kicks off during the last night of the Casino. We do make ton's of reference to the clothing, music, attitudes from those periods thus giving the stories, I guess a 'Retro feel' (someone recently described us as retro writers...which I'm not sure I like or not!

Last year I re-read Boot Boys and I remembered it being better. But then when I was a teenager I suppose it touched a different place.
