If you ever wondered where pulp fiction got its start, look no further. Sax Rohmer's classic Fu Manchu stories started the genre, and while they may not be the best example, they certainly make for an interesting read. The premise is simple: Dr. Fu Manchu is an evil Oriental genius set on world domination, and only Det. Nayland Smith and his faithful Watson Dr. Petrie can stop him. Fu Manchu, in a bid to stop them, throws every horrible and diabolical trap at them he can to stop them, often killing others instead. I am not saying that this is the best story of its type from its era: but you certainly have to give Rohmer the credit for coming up with it, and I recommend it for those who want to look at the beginning of this genre.
