…with a very heavy American bias, this list will lead you to books you might never have come across, but which have been variously acclaimed as great works of literature… and, one very interesting little point to note, no one in the world has ever read number 77, not even the author who was half blind when writing it and half mad to write it in the first place… 1.

Download Free Pulp Fiction Books
About This Site Welcome to the Online Pulps site. The purpose of this site is to provide a wide selection of stories from the pulps. Here you will find stories from nearly every genre...detective, science ficton, adventure, romance, western, weird menace, sports, aviation, and even finance! This site was started in February, 2002 and has grown larger than I would ever have thought possible. One of the down sides to this is that it has become difficult to maintain. To make things move a little smoother, this site is now going to be driven directly from a database. Another change is that instead of listing the ranges for each of the author pages and issue pages, only a link to the first respective page will be supplied on this main page. In the future I plan to add a search page and some statistics pages showing the most popular downloads for the week, month, and since the site began.

Dime Novels & Penny Dreadfuls Online
Stanford's Dime Novel and Story Paper Collection consists of over 8,000 individual items, and includes long runs of the major dime novel series (Frank Leslie's Boys of America, Happy Days, Beadle's New York Dime Library, etc.) and equally strong holdings of story papers like the New York Ledger and Saturday Night. Both genres flourished from the middle to the close of the 19th century in America and England (where the novels were known as "penny dreadfuls"), and benefited from three mutually reinforcing trends: the vastly increased mechanization of printing, the growth of efficient rail and canal shipping, and ever-growing rates of literacy. The dime novels were aimed at youthful, working-class audiences and distributed in massive editions at newsstands and dry goods stores. Story papers, weekly eight-page tabloids, covered much the same ground, but often combined material and themes to appeal to the whole family.
