Hard Case Crime Series

So, I ran across these books on amazon:

And that got me thinking... if they're trying to capitalize on the pulp aspects of the old crime novels, I wonder how well pulp sci-fi/fantasy would play? Anyone heard of anything like this coming?

Well Glen Cook's Garret Books ARE film Noir/Pulp Fiction fantasy novels. Very entertaining. There's also Stephen Brust's Jherreg series, which is more pulp/crime fantasy fiction. There have been a couple of noir SF books over the years. In many respects William Gibbson's early cyberpunk stuff is really noir SF. I'm sure there are others, but that's all that springs to mind at the moment.

Yep. I was more talking about the kind of pulp revival these books represent. A series of 'pulp fantasy' or sf in the same nostalgic style..
