Swamp Pulp

Through dear old Pinterest, I discovered a most unexpected literary (and film!) subgenre: SWAMP PULP.

Swamps strike me as one of the LEAST sexy ecosystems to cozy up with someone…but what do I know? Swamps are clearly infested with rampant sexuality.

Apparently there was such a market for this that multiple authors and film makers chose the same swampy titles.

Oh, we’re still going…

Yes, there are more…

Why stop now?

Are you enjoying yourself? Are you thinking about swamps?

Not yet? Okay, have some more…

And this was just the small sample I found. I’m intrigued (not intrigued enough to read about swamp nymphs…but quite astounded that they have been such a prominent feature in dime store novels).

It’s been my understanding that, historically, women from the swamps tend to be physically softer than their counterparts rearing from the concrete jungle.

Oh gosh – I totally aspire to being a Swamp Hoyden. Or possibly even a Swamp Brat! And am I the only one who read ‘Swamp Sanctuary’ as ‘Swamp Secretary’……?

Um, ‘kay then – just me. 😉

  I thought the same thing. Ahem.
  
  But then one of the Swamp Womans seems to be a Swamp Maid so it seems pretty reasonable

Hmmm–I do live in a swamp. And I don’t understand that those females are not just one big red welt from all the bug bites.

Other than that–completely believable 🙂

  Perhaps those swamp girls don’t get fresh meat often. If a man makes it past the gators, he’s caught by a scantily clad and fiery Cajun woman.

It’s funny how the women are salaciously hot, clean with perfect hair, half-naked so they’re obviously ready for some sexual deviance in a swamp.
