    An Adventure of a Professional Corpse - The Artificial Honeymoon by H. Bedford–Jones - A Certain Young Man Finds Dying a Profitable Business. The secret of one of the strangest professions in the world.  
H. Bedford-Jones (1887–1949) was one of the most prolific and versatile writers of the pulp fiction era. Born in Napanee, Ontario, Canada, he moved to the United States and became a naturalized citizen in 1908. By 1914, just six years later, he published his first novel—launching a staggering literary career that would span more than three decades. 
Often called the “King of the Pulps,” Bedford-Jones wrote across nearly every genre imaginable: science fiction, fantasy, adventure, detective fiction, historical epics, and Westerns. At the height of his career, he was producing an extraordinary volume of work, sometimes publishing as many as a dozen stories in a single month. He wrote under dozens of pseudonyms, crafting over 1,000 stories, novels, and serials for legendary pulp magazines such as Argosy, All-Story Weekly, and Blue Book. 
In addition to his pulp fiction mastery, Bedford-Jones also worked as a journalist for the Boston Globe and published several volumes of poetry, showcasing his command of language beyond the pulp page. Whether writing swashbuckling historical tales or futuristic adventures, he brought energy, imagination, and craftsmanship to everything he touched. 
A true titan of popular fiction, H. Bedford-Jones helped shape the golden age of pulp storytelling—and left behind a legacy that still thrills readers today.

They provide for each other, they look out for each other, and they'd never betray each other.  
But then a Super comes to town, and Michael's world is thrown into disarray. The Comet could destroy everything Michael and his dad have built, the safe and secure life they've made for themselves. And now Michael and his father face a choice: to hold tight to their life or to let it unravel.
