Pulp Literature

Pulp literature refers to a genre of popular fiction that emerged in the early 20th century, known for its sensational, fast-paced storytelling. It was named after the cheap pulp paper on which these stories were printed, typically in magazines. Pulp fiction includes a variety of genres such as crime, science fiction, horror, and fantasy, often featuring vivid characters, dramatic plots, and an emphasis on entertainment. Writers like H.P. Lovecraft and Dashiell Hammett were prominent in this movement, influencing later literature and media. Today, pulp literature retains a nostalgic charm and is celebrated for its creativity and genre innovation.
