I got interested into ideas of pulp magazines. They were a big thing back in late 1890s and 1950s. So they used a pulp tree for papers.
That's fun.
Wonder if there are magazines like pulp magazines nowadays. Would read them while drinking Coke and eating burger with bacon and cheese.

Pulp magazines and it's pulp fiction stories were really the starting point for a lot horror, sci-fi, superhero, detective mysteries and just about any speculative fiction you can think of. The Italian also had good "giallo" novels, while France also had several types of 'cheap fiction' like that especially the black cover series.

You can still read them, a lot of them can be gotten a the bargain bin and could tide you over for a lifetime. However, I think the modern iteration of pulp fiction by sometimes amateur auteurs who can afford to take risks are webnovels. A lot are bad or derivative, but maybe there'll be a diamond in the rough.
