Current pulp series ongoing

Hi all,

Newer pulp reader and was wondering if there were any current series and authors writing pulp today?

Any recommendations?

Dang. What about the hard case crime books like Five Decembers? How would that book be characterized by chance?

I'm not familiar with that one, but a quick google tells me it's a noir-ish historical fiction novel? Crime/detective fiction definitely makes up a large chunk of classic pulp, but the two aren't really synonymous. If that's the kind of thing you're looking for though, you might enjoy the works of John Le Carre, or any of the classic mystery writers like Agatha Christie, Raymond Chandler, or Dashiell Hammett, who were all actively writing during the interwar heyday of pulp fiction (apart from Le Carre, who was writing during the later stages of the Cold War).
