Welcome to Munsey's
Named after Munsey's Magazine (1889–1929), one of the first mass-market magazines in the United States, this site catalogs classic and rare books with a focus on pulp fiction, vintage mystery, folklore, science fiction, and public domain literature.
For each book you'll find publication details, synopses, author biographies, and links to where you can buy a copy (via Bookshop.org, Amazon, ThriftBooks) or read for free (Project Gutenberg, Internet Archive, LibriVox audiobooks). Most titles in our collection were published before 1929 and are in the public domain.
