In
the past, DIME NOVELS and other forms of PULP FICTION influenced
generations of writers of genre fiction such as Ray Bradbury, Raymond
Chandler, and H. P. Lovecraft. It was a time when
kids carried dime novels folded in their hip pockets or nestled
out-of-sight in their schoolbooks.
iPulp
libraries are de-signed to be shared by families. 
Also,
the iPulp store uses tokens for the acquisition of titles,
not credit card trans-actions. The account administrator
uses a credit card to buy stacks of tokens for the entire
family from the Account Administration screen. The administrator
can then grant minor users the privilege to safely spend
tokens in the iPulp store. If a user does not have the right
to spend tokens, he/she can add stories to a “Wish
List” that is sent to the account administrator, who
can then acquire or decline the stories directly from the
administration screen. 
iPulp is committed to the resurgence of genre short stories
and the introduction of new authors. To this end, we have put
together a network of editors and manu-script readers to help
us search for original stories by talented writers and
recommend the best stories for publication on iPulpFiction.com.
