About this listen

Welcome to The Potboiler, I’m Patrick Hughes and this is Hollow Grim and The Downfall, part two.


Potboiler is an old term for pulpy paperback genre writing that I think deserves some sunlight.


Let’s do the intro.


Hollow Grim is known across the western United States as a marksman man hunter for the US Marshal, a good killer hunting down the fugitives eluding the deputies and private agents. His celebrity is a burden for every day it’s a benefit.


Any notoriety he’s found lives under the massive shadow of his legendary father, Marshal Charlie Grim. His father’s name was built in ink, in the pages of the Chicago Tribune, reported by a writer named Sterling Stern. They were the hero and his troubadour.


Years after Charlie’s death, Hollow encounters the role that his father’s biographer played in crafting his legend, and how he continues to profit from it. He resolves that ending is going to have to be written not worthy of print.


The 3 episodes of this story will be offered with no commercial interruptions. Visit https://patrickhughes.ca/ for links to me and to my other projects. Please stick around after the story for some light business.


Enjoy
