Genres - was What is a good book

> Pulp fiction? Sure, a lot of it was good, at least I think so. Of
course also had the usual amount of garbage, like most genres.

Sturgeon's law applies to pulp fiction, romance, sf and all the other
genres equally well.

"90% of everything is crap." -  Theodore Sturgeon

A good example and precursor to pulp fiction were the 'penny
dreadfuls' of the Victorian age. Dracula was one of them, but is one
of only a handful that are still read. The great majority were truly
awful.

Just my double-farthing's worth, of course. YMMV
