Pulp Fiction to Film Noir: The Great Depression and the Development of a Genre (2012)
Hardcover.
ISBN-13: 978-1905204564
Welcome to the world of pulp fiction.
Within these pages are the very best crime stories from the pulp magazines of the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s.
These are stories of the mean streets of New York, Los Angeles and Chicago.
These are stories in which danger and death are always just around the corner.
These are the stories which created crime fiction as we know it today.
