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.

  • Dead Dolls Don’t Talk by Day Keene
Crest Books #286
“He figured her for just another one-night stand… until he found her still there in the morning—murdered.”
That tag line makes me want to get out my red copy-editor pen.
