Synopsis

Timothy Hallinan’s private eye Simeon Grist has gone out of print and he’s pissed about it.Simeon thought he was living a good life—solving mysteries, falling in and out of love, risking life and limb to do the right thing. Then the last Simeon Grist mystery was pulped to make newsprint, and he woke up in a room where nothing ever changed except his sense of who he was: his entire existence was a work of fiction that the real world was in the process of forgetting. And when one of his few remaining readers is murdered, Simeon discovers that he can—at great risk—step out of the pages of his books and into the world of the living. The only problem: even if he succeeds in solving the murder, winning the love of a real-life woman, and finding the man who wrote him, he could still die trying.

Goodreads review by Mike

This book is strange for several reasons: 1) It's about a Fictional Detective trying to solve a crime in the Real World 2) It's 1, but it's also not completely goofy. There's some(SOME, not much) grit to this story. 3) It's book 7 of a pre-existing series! I got this from my local library because I thou......more

Goodreads review by Michael

In the tradition of Jasper Fforde’s “The Eyre Affair” or Gary Wolf’s “Who Censored Roger Rabbit,” Timothy Hallinan’s PULPED brings fictional characters to life in more ways than one, and in ways we’ve never seen before. Hallinan resurrects his much-loved (formerly) out-of-print series character Sime......more

Goodreads review by Wyckliffe

I am a big fan of Hallinan, and pretty sure I've read all his books, including the earlier Simeon Grist series. This book was a disappointment. I guess it's speculative fiction. It is very much a departure from Hallinan's style. It's an interesting concept; Simeon is up in literary heaven because al......more
