Wearing a low-cut dress or sweater – usually in tatters – and menaced by a group
of muscular thugs or a single, scarred villain, the clichéd cover girls of pulp fiction magazines stole the limelight from their rather more spirited sisters concealed within. From the pens of writing legends like Dashiell Hammett, Cornell Woolrich and Raymond Chandler, stories of the greatest grand dames of the pulp genre have been gathered together in this unique volume. Its pages are rich with female jewel thieves of a certain elegance, feisty reporters in pursuit of an exclusive, gun molls with gangster boyfriends, avenging angels, tough broads and out-and-out hoodlums.
Tailor-made for pulp novices and hard-boiled fans with a soft spot for the masters, Pulp Fiction: The Dames shows that some writing has an edge that time just can’t dull.
