The [[American Old West]] was a mainstay genre of early turn of the 20th-century novels as well as later pulp magazines, and lasted longest of all the traditional pulps. In many ways, the later [[men's adventure]] ("the sweats") was the replacement of pulps.

Many classic science fiction and crime novels were originally [[Serial (literature)|serialized]] in pulp magazines such as ''[[Weird Tales]]'', ''[[Amazing Stories]]'', and ''[[Black Mask (magazine)|Black Mask]]''.
