Pulp Novels
The antique store in my hometown occasionally has a giveaway box full of old dime novels. What I like about them most is their lurid covers.
Slate has recently published a special issue devoted to pulp novels.
Consider this special issue our obituary for pulp—the literature, as pulp writer John D. MacDonald once called it, for men who carry their lunches in pails.
