Paleontology in Fiction

Prehistoric Pulp is a blog dedicated to fiction about dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals, with reviews, cover blurbs and news about upcoming works.

Also covered here, although less comprehensively, are comics and board/roleplaying games featuring prehistoric critters. There are no reviews for movies or television shows, but I do include news items about upcoming films.

This blog updates infrequently simply because of the scarcity of the subject matter — long stretches of time pass between novels featuring prehistoric animals. Think of the site more as an archive of news and reviews than a traditional blog.
