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.

“Had I But Groaned”
An old Hag, a gorgeous Witch, and one ripe Virgin — about to be sacrificed. What more do you need for a swinging Sabbat?

Blonde on a Broomstick, Signet #D2831, (c)1966.
Cover art by Robert McGinnis.
“Rick Holman is taken for a ride by a covey of curvaceous witches…and flies straight into murder.”
Why is there an illustration with a brunette on a book with “blonde” in the title?
