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.

Delano Ames - Murder Begins At HomeDell Books 552, 1951Cover Artist: Robert Stanley
“Miranda gets stabbed and Dagobert Brown finds the killer plus some scandalous information”

Outside of the name Dagobert, that description is one of the most boring I’ve seen.

  • 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.
