We need more fiction.
We need more beguiling villains worthy of the conflicted hero’s pursuit.
Their smokey rooms have to be soaked in familiar imagery, while swift subversions of any genre’s expectations make their entrances and turn over their tables. The roads they’re on have to twist and turn their mission so they lose sight of the incitement far behind them.
We need Hollow Grim, noir sleuth manhunter rifleman, and Eric Verrity, misunderstood superhuman crime fighter, among a small series of revolving main characters.
Welcome to the Potboiler. Pulpy paperback genre fiction with some fresh paint.
Good, fun reading for your ears.

Potboiler is an old term for pulpy paperback genre writing that I think deserves to shine.
Let’s do the intro.
Hollow Grim knows a confrontation with Sterling Stern is inevitable and necessary, to end the exploitation of his father’s legacy in law enforcement. As he prepares to leave for Chicago, the new telephone in the Progress Hotel begins to chime.
The former Tribune reporter and chronicler of his father’s exploits has the same thoughts about inevitability and tells him over the line that he intends to write the right ending for the story he believes is shared between the three of them.
Riders have him surrounded. Their mission is clear. The downfall is upon them.
