This is an La Trobe eBureau publication by Stuart Kells.<div><br></div><div>The book explores the little-known pulp publishing scene in Australia, popular during the middle parts of the 20<sup>th</sup>
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.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Browse our open access books on <a href="https://library.latrobe.edu.au/ebureau" target="_blank">eBureau</a><br></div><div><br></div>
