Who doesn’t love a delightfully cheesy pulp fiction book cover? I know I do, so here’s a bunch of good ones, curated for maximum enjoyment by yours truly. Some of these were selected for the artwork, some for the titles or description, and some for both. As you can probably guess, some of these may not be safe for work so I’ll put the racier ones after the jump.

And lest you think pulp novels were all about sex, there was also murder and space. But yeah, mostly sex.
