The Fantastic Pulps
Peter Haining
The pulp magazines in which the contents of this volume first appeared were a primarily American phenomenon. The stories were written purely as entertainment and were aimed at a readership culled from the American urban population around the turn of the century—often factory workers for whom the glossy magazines would have been too expensive.
Among the twenty-one authors represented in this volume are names such as Stephen Crane, Jack London, Upton Sinclair, Sinclair Lewis, Dashiel Hammett, Mackinlay Kantor, H. P. Lovecraft, Robert Bloch and Ray Bradbury. The pulp magazines flourished for over half a century, but by 1945 paperback books and television had invaded their market and created a demand for more sophisticated reading material.
Peter Haining contributes an historical introduction to this collection of fantasy, horror, gothic, adventure, supernatural and embryo SF stories. He also gives a brief introductory note to each story.
