Pulp Convention Hits Lombard, Illinois

This weekend sees an enormous pulp convention landing in Lombard, Illinois. So, this isn't strictly weird horror related, but then again, twentieth century weird fiction got its start in the pulps. The event, which runs from April 15-17, is sure to feature discussions relevant to H.P. Lovecraft and the original Weird Tales circle. Not to mention a whole lot of rare collectibles.

Check out the event's full details, and Robert Weinberg's primer on the history of literary horror's flagship magazine, The Weird Tales Story.
