F**k Yeah, Pulp Fiction Covers!

Dedicated to the good, bad & unintentionally hilarious covers of pulp fiction novels. These covers usually featured provocative lines of text with lurid illustrations. Pulps also trafficked in stereotypes, so please enjoy these covers within their historical context. You may also see the occasional lady or man bits. FYeah Pulp Fiction Covers is lovingly maintained by a red-headed librarian trapped in the Midwest.

Pioneer Loves by Ernest Haycox, Pocket Books, 1954.
“Stories of the heartbreaks, loves and triumphs of the men and women who tamed the west.”
I’m guessing these men are thinking ‘threesome.’

  • Loves of a Girl Wrestler by Ben West.
“A tigress in the ring…a temptress in the boudoir!”
“Mauled…manhandled… exhibited before lusting eyes… this lovely creature fought disgrace at the hands of bone-crushing men and passionate Amazons!”
Wow… whoever wrote the tag lines was really ellipsis happy.

  • Swamp Hoyden by Jack Woodford & John B. Thompson.
“They spoke of her in whispers!”
“Men chased her, charmed her, cheated her… but she outfoxed them all!”
I think we need to bring back the word ‘hoyden.’ It’s so much classier than ‘slut.’
