PULP FICTION THURSDAY: FIRE

I started off the week with a post called Get Started, Get A Fire so I decided to continue the fiery theme with this week's edition of Pulp Fiction Thursday. I was also partially inspired by Joe Biden's combustible speech at the DNC. We start off with a real barnburner of a mystery and a sci-fi novel that involves flames *and* some sort of squid-like creature. I wonder if they considered Captives Of The Calamari as an alternate title? Mmm, calamari...

Burn, Witch, Burn is a helluva title in a sort of H. Rap Brown way. Burn, baby, burn. I wonder if that guy's mask is fire retardant? Finally, we have a bit of non-fiction, which reminds me of the episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm wherein Larry David ponders how his friend Yoshi's father could have been a Kamikaze pilot in World War II. Why? Because Papa Kamikaze was very much alive. Banzai, baby, banzai.

Finally, I know I'll get flamed if I don't end with a marginally relevant video. I considered something featuring Arson Welles but went in another direction and since it's an election year, all roads lead to Ohio:
