Publisher's Synopsis
A manuscript discovered on a broken hard drive reveals a tale of secret societies, drugs and murder in Victorian Glasgow. In ancient Japan a scarred servant plots to take down a dragon slumlord while in modern Tokyo gangster Hiroshi is stalked by a seemingly invincible samurai. Smugglers from an independent Scotland cross Hadrian's Wall - now a military border - to sell contraband single malt whisky down south, and further in the future a blight leaves the world on the brink of apocalypse. Beaten to a Pulp! is a collection of short stories that travel widely across location, genre and time, all tied together with distinctive pulp style.
