PulpFest

Up until the middle of the 20th century, "pulp" was a popular genre of books and magazines, so named for the cheap wood-pulp paper used in printing. Their popularity gradually declined, but there are still those who honor the sensational and kitschy form, and you can find them at PulpFest at DoubleTree - Cranberry, an annual festival dedicated to sharing, discussing, and marveling at all pulp has to offer. The three days of programming include speakers, auctions, films screenings, and more.
