The book explores the little-known pulp publishing scene in Australia, popular during the middle parts of the 20th
century. Stuart examines the circumstances that gave rise to this field
of ‘low literature’; the major publishers, artists, and authors; and
the different expressions of pulp genre – crime, westerns, sci-fi,
romance and ‘weird tales’. Filled with vividly illustrated covers, it
provides a valuable record of mostly overlooked Australian writers and
the culture surrounding their production.
