New Pulp Press: Our Story
New Pulp Press was founded in 2008 by writer Jon Bassoff as an alternative to conglomerate publishing. It set out to publish edgy crime fiction, post-modern noir and neo-pulp: stories that respect Chandler, Hammett and Cain but bend the genre, often built around con men, losers and sociopaths rather than sympathetic heroes. The press won a Spinetingler Award, and New York magazine called its books “genius masked as genre.”
On January 1, 2015, New Pulp Press became the sister company of Absolutely Amazing eBooks, publishing each title as an ebook and a 6×9 paperback. In 2021 it was acquired, with Absolutely Amazing eBooks, by J. T. Colby & Company, Inc., and it continues to publish the most original voices in crime fiction and noir.
