"Queer Pulp"

Queer Pulp: Perverted Passions form the Golden Age of the Paperback (Susan Stryker)

I really wanted to like this book, but unfortunately, it has one fatal drawback that keeps it from being a great read like Lesbian Pulp Fiction - there's no samples. Stryker describes what's in the book and you see the cover, but that's all, and it can get really aggravating when she'll say something like "The book's contents don't match the lurid cover". Great - let me see some of the contents! Maybe it's a copyright thing, I don't know, but it really hurts the book. It's still entertaining to read, but I started just flipping through and looking at the covers after a while. For die hards only.

Grade: C-
