Adirondack Pulp Fiction - Paperback

by Larry Beahan (Author)

In Adirondack Pulp Fiction you will find six tales of crime and passion. Despite what Chambers of Commerce and Adirondack Park authorities may claim, these human qualities do fire souls inside the Blue Line as well as out. The stories are not of lumberjack heroes, pioneers, hotel magnates, hermits or even mountain climbers. They are of ordinary people tangled in extraordinary emotions which lead them to extremes. These lives in backwaters, backwoods and mountain towns aren't just peaches and cream served up to you Little-House-on-the-Prairie style. You'll find very few log cabins with cheery fires and snug families in them.These stories tell of the darker side of the hearts of Adirondack denizens. You already know of their good nature, hospitality and kindness now see the passion, envy, avarice and rage that dwell there too. Come stalk with me the slums, back roads, deserted mines, honky-tonks and gin-mills of Tupper Lake, Saranac Lake, Lake George, Lake Placid, Tahawus, North Creek, Gore Mountain and Fort Drum. Keep in mind, my good companions, these stories, like all fiction, have some basis in reality. Their events may have happened where we journey but, as far as I know, they did not.
