Description

The late nineteenth century saw an increase in both literacy and in disposable income. This, coupled with technological advancements in printing, which led to faster and more efficient presses, saw a boom in periodicals. The 'Penny Dreadfuls', as they were known gave birth to the pulp phenomena in the early twentieth century. Crime fiction ruled the newsstands, but horror, science fiction, adventure, and westerns began carving out their own corner of the marketplace. While literature was no longer an arena solely for the wealthy, foreign travel still was a luxury for the elite. Pulp magazines full of thrilling adventures and exotic locations acted as an escapist wish-fulfillment for many unable to afford the expensive and time-consuming travel to these exotic worlds. Most of the Adventure writers, themselves had never been to the places they were writing about. They relied on often false misconceptions of these faraway lands. What was born was a world of fantastical places filled with fantastical people. These stories were filled with intrigue, swash-buckling daring, beautiful women, and more political incorrectness than you can shake a stick at. Many famous authors got their start in the 'pulps' while more often than not, the authors of these stories faded into obscurity. With so many magazines competing for the same readership, it was a sad yet inevitable side effect. Countless writers were needed to fill the innumerable magazines. Some writers managed a story or two, then faded away. Others wrote countless stories for countless publications under countless pen-names. Others wrote for one or two magazines for many years as a side-gig, making decent money. This book contains but a small sampling of the work by some of these 'lost' writers. * A Meal for the Devil by K. Christopher Barr (Action Novels 1930)* The Box of the Ivory Dragon by James L.
