Golden Age Stories Launches Interactive Pulp Fiction Book Website - Where Adventure Comes to Life
The new GoldenAgeStories.com interactive Website Pulp Fiction universe showcases 153 fiction stories in books and audiobooks by L. Ron Hubbard
HOLLYWOOD, Calif., April 26 -- Galaxy Press announced today it has launched its infotainment site at http://www.GoldenAgeStories.com that vividly showcases stories from 80 pulp fiction books written in the 1930s and 40s by New York Times' bestselling author L. Ron Hubbard. The fiction books and audiobooks make up the series, Stories from the Golden Age, being published in a six year publishing plan and written for readers of all ages.
The new website takes users into a literary world of mystery, adventure, science fiction, fantasy, westerns and romance books. The multi-faceted site includes free downloads of books and audiobooks, video clips and book trailers featuring the Hollywood voice actors for the audiobooks and iTunes podcasts of live story readings, actor biographies, and an extensive photo-bio of author L. Ron Hubbard.
"It's pure infotainment where someone can easily spend hours exploring, interacting with, and viewing its many parts," said John Goodwin, Galaxy Press president.
Users can view podcasts from weekly live readings of some of the newly-released stories performed by audiobook cast members. iTunes users can register online to receive iTunes book podcasts at http://www.goldenagestories.com/html/podcasts.php. The site includes brief bios and photos of each of the voice actors used in the audiobooks at http://www.goldenagestories.com/html/actors.php.
Other sections contain original, downloadable pulp cover art, current reviews of the stories, and a variety of other desktop downloads.
A detailed, historical section highlights original photos from the 1930s and 1940s of L. Ron Hubbard. "We wanted to show readers and listeners how Mr. Hubbard's many travels and adventures allowed him to get the information he needed to write accurate, believable descriptions in so many genres," added Goodwin.
Visitors to the website can also signup for a Stories from the Golden Age book club subscription to receive either the book or audiobook of each title as it is released monthly over the next 5 years.
The content featured in the goldenagestories.com site is for readers of all ages. And for those who enjoy audiobooks, Library Journal recently wrote, "These full-cast, sound effects-laden productions will engage listeners of all ages, particularly fans of old-time radio, Westerns, genre fiction, action and adventure, and full-cast performances."
