Pulp Fiction The Fire That Burns LGBT

First Edition

[LGBTQ] Mark Tryon. The Fire That Burns. Berkley Publishing Corp: New York, 1954. First Edition. 6.5 x 4.25 inches. 143 pages. Pulp Fiction Cover art has several attractive women with a photographer shining a spotlight. The story of a photographer's affair with a woman who introduces him to an underworld of sexual deviance including a lesbian stripper, this novel is emblematic of the kind of soft-core hard-boiled pulp fiction frequently banned through the 1950s. The books were rarely explicit, but in their suggestion of non-normative sexual practices they posed a threat to conservative culture warriors. Front cover has several creases on corners. Small tear to spine. Quarter inch "x" marked in ball point on back cover suggests the book may have been deemed inappropriate by some former seller. Textblock tight and clean. Good condition.
