Last week’s challenge: “Must Love Dinosaurs<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.”<\/p>\n

So, Dinocalypse Now<\/strong> is out and so too is the e-novella sequel to Double Dead<\/strong> (called Bad Blood<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, featuring the continuing adventures of Coburn the vampire in a zombiepocalypse), I feel like I want to stick in the realm of “over the top pulp” — between the two books I throw at the audience everything from jet-packs to kilted gorilla professors to Ketamine cults to zombie-hunting orphans to shark-men to… well, the list goes on. That further calls to mind those images online where a robot Abe Lincoln is shooting fire out of his eyes at a giant city-destroying brain-in-a-jar, and the sky is filled with F-16s fighting pterodactyls and…<\/p>\n

Well, you get the point.<\/p>\n

Crazy pulp shiznit.<\/p>\n

Because it’s awesome.<\/p>\n

Your task this week is to go apeshit.<\/p>\n

To go moonbat.<\/p>\n

To go cuh-razy<\/em> with the over-the-top pulp weirdness.<\/p>\n

Whatever that means to you — “pulp insanity” — just run with it. For up to 1000 words. You know the drill: post at your space, link back here so we can all see it. You’ve got a week. Due by noon, Friday, May 18th.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
