Beach Pulp: Amazing Stories Set in Rehoboth, Bethany, Cape May, Lewes, Ocean City, and Other Beach Towns Reviews

I bought this book as a fun collection to read while on vacation in Bethany Beach, and it did not disappoint! The stories range from X-Files-ish, to giant crabs, to campy sea monsters, aliens, and hard-boiled detectives. And of course a NJ mobster or two. With a collection like this there's usually a range of quality among the stories but I enjoyed all of these. It was so much fun to read about things happening in the locations we were visiting - Funland, the Haunted Mansion Ride, Bethany Beach, and more. Fun and perfect for summer reading at the beach, even if you're not in Delaware/Maryland/New Jersey.

Great collection of pulp fiction in and around the Maryland, Delaware, and New Jersey shores. It is great for local artists getting to share their work about one of their most beloved locations.
