Pulp Fiction Writing Competition

A mysterious dagger wielding arm looms around the corner from a battered detective and his female companion; but our bandaged hero has his gun raised in the downtown of this port city, with the historic Hotel Stockton in the background.



Artwork for Pulp Fiction contest was created by Frank Stone, local artist.
