The Adventures of Lazarus Gray is an excellent example of neo-pulp fiction. It occasionally becomes repetitive in its use of tropes and descriptive language. Also, many of the stories are repetitive in their structure and always repetitive in their outcomes. However, having said that, the adventures of Mr. Gray are a lot of fun.
Where the book falls short is in its treatment of women. The women are basically sex objects, while some attempt to struggle against this trope they never do accomplish this. Lazarus Gray, however, is a plot driven book and the only thing the writer seemed to be paying attention to was getting the chick next to the exploding car so the protagonist (Gray) has a reason to go after the antagonist. Nothing wrong with this, but the whole point of neo-pulp is to write against sexist and racist tropes. The racism it does a good job of working against, but not a perfect one. The Korean character in the stories is a very good example of where the author fails to write against the racist cliché. There is no animosity towards either women or people of a different race in this book, but the historical tropes are still there and not adequately dealt with.
All in all, The Adventures of Lazarus Gray were a great deal of stupid fun. If, however, you are inclined towards social justice and leftist authoritarianism you may wish to give this book a pass. Readers who are capable of understanding the genre of neo-pulp may enjoy this book quite a bit. One caveat, the stories can become repetitive in their nature. Recommendation, don’t read the book all at once. Read a story; then read another book; then come back and read another of the exciting Lazarus great adventures.
Recommendation: four out of five stars
Fun for neo-pulp readers!

The pulps live. Lazarus Gray and associates fight the good fight to help

June 8, 2018 Elements of Dent, Howard and Lovecraft are a great homage to the pulps of the 30's. This isn't just good pulp, it's New Pulp.
