Femmes Fatales Classic Pulps

Not sure if you've seen this new series of classic reprints, but Femmes Fatales is a great imprint from the Feminist Press at the City University of New York. Femmes Fatales restores to print the best of women's writing in the classic pulp genres of the mid-20th century. From mystery to hard-boiled noir to taboo lesbian romance, these rediscovered Queens of Pulp offer 'subversive perspectives' on a turbulent era.

The latest in the series is Mother Finds a Body by Gypsy Rose Lee with a foreword by Erik Preminger. This is the steamy sequel to The G-String Murders. I hadn't read it before, and I read it in one sitting. My kind of book.

I love the size, shape and covers of these paperbacks.. and, of course, the authors, content and titles. The books are available as paperback or eBook.
