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.

  • Satan, Demons & Dildoes by Eugene Richards, Barclay House Original Nonfiction[?!!??], (c) 1974.
“A journey into the darkness of man’s soul.”
I think this is one of the best titles I’ve ever run across.

  • Dykes on Bikes, Alan Marshall, Pleasure Reader #148.
“There’s no hell on wheels like…”
As a female, I’m distracted by the fact that riding a motorcycle without a bra/shirt looks like it would be very uncomfortable at high speeds. Just saying.

  • Basement Gang, by David Williams, Beacon Books #260.
“Kathie was a virgin when they led her down the steps…”
“A daring novel of reefer smoke—reckless thrills and the wild love of boys and girls of the city streets.”
I am totally digging beret-girl’s outfit.
