The sixties saw an explosion of pulp novels, from high literature in disguise to stuff on display here. Shameful!
'Sin-a-Rama' is a fun flip-through -- the essays at the beginning did not really hold my interest -- with a very interesting appendix of authors and pseudonyms and publishing companies. For obvious reasons a lot of contemporary records weren't preserved concerning this particular branch of the industry.
The covers were bizarre fun, the excerpts shockingly untitillating. After reading 'Pulp Friction' I'd hoped to see more than a dozen or so of the gay sleaze novels, but I'll have to look for a more selective collection.
