Summary

From the early days of dime novels to contemporary mass-market paperbacks, pulp fiction is a vital part of popular culture. The Encyclopedia of Pulp Fiction Writers is the first book to bring the scores of well-known and unsung heroes of pop literature into one volume.

The Encyclopedia of Pulp Fiction Writers covers the entire spectrum of pop literature's greatest entertainers and artists; the multimillion-copy bestsellers; and the inventors of the modern genres, such as the western, the hardboiled detective novel, the spy thriller, science fiction, horror, the legal thriller, crime fiction, and the erotic/romance novel. The book also profiles colorful but lesser-known underground figures, as well as a wide variety of talented paperback authors who were never given their due. Each of the 200 entries includes a brief biography along with a list of the author's writing credits.

-- V. C. Andrews
-- Ray Bradbury
-- Jackie Collins
