The Film Optimist reviewed The carnival of death by L. Ron Hubbard (Stories from the golden age)
Review of 'The carnival of death' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
Two stories: "Carnival of Death" and "The Death Flyer." Both are wildly different examples of pulp fiction. The first is a quick-and-dirty two-fisted detective story, written fast and on the cheap with all the exclamation points, plot holes, and questionable sentiments one might expect from pulp of the time. The second is a story that — while still cheap and fast — has aspirations to be more and focuses more on suspense and mood than bare-knuckles action.
