Dime Novels
Dime novels are a type of inexpensive, paperback books that were popular in the United States during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These novels were typically sold for ten cents, hence the name "dime novels." They often featured sensationalistic and melodramatic stories, such as tales of adventure, romance, crime, and the supernatural. Dime novels were aimed at a working-class audience and were known for their fast-paced, thrilling plots and colorful cover illustrations.
