He was swimming parallel with the beach now, and with curious detachment he observed that the storm had subsided. A pale, fog-like glow hovered over the lashing waters, and it seemed to beckon.

If "The Spirit of '76" makes you think of Will Eisner instead of America's birthday, you might be a pulp fan.
When you hear "Psycho" and think of Robert Bloch instead of an ex, you might be a pulp fan.

Literally & metaphorically, the Sun is gaslighting us. We're in a relationship with a bi-polar Solar partner. It gives us light but also makes shadows. There's light we can't see! What's Sol hiding? We're told to fear the dark, but Night is when we rest! What to do, what to do..?

Just uploaded a copy of the "Yours Truly, Jack the Ripper" episode from "Molle Mystery Theatre" (February 27, 1945) to YouTube.
It's one of the Old Time Radio shows that gets covered in my latest eBook YOURS TRULY, JACK THE LODGER. Over the coming weeks I am planning to also upload all the other related episodes as a quasi-compendium piece to the book.

Robert Bloch (1917-1994) #BOTD
Best known as the writer of #Psycho (1959), the basis for the #Hitchcock film of the same name. Bloch wrote hundreds of short stories and over 30 novels. He was a protégé of H. P. Lovecraft, who was the first to encourage his talent. He was a contributor to pulps such as #WeirdTales in his early career, and ultimately won the Hugo Award (for his story "That Hell-Bound Train"), the Bram Stoker Award, and the World Fantasy Award.
