          • Definition(s)
            • Novels written for the mass market, intended to be "a good read,"--often exciting, titillating, thrilling. Historically they have been very popular but critically sneered at as being of sub-literary quality.

Westerns, stories of adventure, even the Horatio Alger novels, all were forms of pulp fiction. Robert Harris - VirtualSalt
