Loved The Hot Zone! Nonfiction that reads like a thriller.

This book also didn’t scare me in a traditional way but is definitely one of the most unsettling things I’ve read.

Who are some of your favorite "pulpy" authors? in c/literature@beehaw.org

My go-to author when I want something quick, easy to read, that’s not going to be too taxing is Stephen King. He’s so prolific that I think I’ll always have something new of his to read, and I like revisiting some of his works. Not sure how “pulpy” he is though.

I also enjoy Michael Crichton (like you mentioned), Blake Crouch, and Andy Weir for that same kind of thing.

Have you read any of the books listed in this article? How were they? I haven’t read any of these, or even heard of most of them. War With the Newts sounds like it would be an interesting and funny read, and I’ve been meaning to pick up Her Body and Other Parties.
