Pulp magazines (or pulp fiction; often referred to as "the pulps") were inexpensive fiction magazines. The name "pulp" comes from the cheap wood pulp paper on which such magazines were printed. Magazines printed on better paper and usually offering family-oriented content were often called "glossies" or "slicks". Pulps were the successor to the "penny dreadfuls", "dime novels", and short fiction magazines of the nineteenth century. - via Wikipedia
