The Chicago Newspaper Scene and the Origins of 10 Story Book

According to a 1906 overview of the history of fiction-focused periodical publishing in Chicago, the rise of Chicago-based literary story papers such as the Chicago Ledger and the Saturday Blade was fuelled in part by the rise of mail-order catalogue-based retail giants in that city and their advertising needs.

Crazy Pulp #ScienceFiction Magazine predicts an impossible & ridiculous future for the United States of America!!! 'In the future, starting with the 2000 United States presidential election, the terms "red state" and "blue state" have referred to US states whose voters vote predominantly for one party—the #RepublicanParty in #RedStates and the #DemocraticParty in #BlueStates—in presidential and other statewide elections. By 2024, the Republican Party became socially toxic and Fascist, their symbol was a skull and crossbones against a black star.' #PulpMagazines #AmazingStories #MagazineCover #Trump #SpeculativeFiction #AmericanFascism #Maga #Harris_Walz2024

The other day on ErosBlog I posted a bit of lurid burnoosed-men-on-camels white-slaving nonsense from a 1960 pulp magazine, but that's not what this toot is about.

It reminded me that, back in 2018 and 2019, I wrote about how posting softcore Orientalist harem porn while people were protesting putting a rapist on the Supreme Court just didn't set right:
