Here's the deal...
Welcome. Take your shoes off if you like — but keep your imagination laced up. Things tend to scurry, howl, or wisecrack around here.
I’m J.P. Linde: novelist, screenwriter, playwright, former comedian, and ringmaster of a growing pulp-flavored universe. I write stories with heartbeat and bite — adventures, noir shadows, comedic horror, oddball mysteries, and anything else that rattles the cabinet of curiosities I call a brain.

The Work
My worlds stretch from pulp adventure to intimate drama, always with a twist of strangeness:
I started in the comedy trenches — writing, performing, creating — before wandering (or maybe tumbling) into pulp, noir, and genre storytelling. It turns out the line between a good joke and a good scare is thinner than most people think. My work has always lived in that elastic borderland between laughter and dread, heart and spectacle.
What I’m Doing Now
These days, I split my time between novels, screenplays, short-story collections, pitch decks, and the ever-growing J.P. Linde Pulp Universe.
Recent releases include Tales from the Chair and The Last Argonaut, with new screen projects making their way across desks in Hollywood and beyond.
Why I Write
Because strange stories have a way of telling the truth sideways.
Because humor is a pressure valve.
Because monsters, misfits, and ordinary heroes deserve their day in the sun.
And because I’ve never been able to resist a tale that tilts just slightly off-center.
If you’re drawn to worlds where danger and comedy shake hands, where hearts break and heal in unexpected ways, and where the shadows are always grinning — you’re in the right place.
Stick Around
There’s plenty more coming: books, films, series, odd artifacts, and the occasional zombie or cryptid.
Thanks for stopping by. Kick back. Explore. And if something growls… don’t worry. It’s friendly. Usually.
My worlds stretch from pulp adventure to intimate drama, always with a twist of strangeness:
- Son of Ravage — a cult-tinged pulp adventure now expanding into a comic series.
- Tales from the Chair — short fiction that wanders through the eerie, the heartfelt, and the absurd.
- The Last Argonaut — myth, grit, and adventure with a modern pulse.
- Screenplays including Paris Without Her, Tent City, Free Santa, Love on the B Side, and more.
- And an expanding slate of short-form and vertical series built for the new frontier of storytelling.
