Sin Pit: Sin Pit is a crime novel by American journalist Paul S. Meskil (Jul 2, 1923–Oct 11, 2005), published by Lion Books in 1954.  It is one of those rare paperback originals that has achieved cult status through a combination of circumstances, including the fact the author wrote only one work of crime fiction, the initial print run was relatively low for paperbacks at the time, the book had only one print run by the original publisher (Lion Books) and, finally, found an audience years later among collectors of 1950s paperback crime novels.  Sin Pit shares all the above circumstances with another paperback crime novel published a year earlier, in 1953, that similarly achieved cult status — Black Wings Has My Angel by Elliott Chaze, published by Fawcett Gold Medal.  Both authors were respected journalists their entire lives and wrote only a single crime novel that was never republished until years later, only after gaining an audience among aficionados of pulp fiction.

Bottom's Dream: Bottom's Dream (German: "Zettels Traum" or "ZETTEL’S TRAUM" as the author wrote the title) is a novel published in 1970 by West German author Arno Schmidt.  Schmidt began writing the novel in December 1963 while he and Hans Wollschläger began to translate the works of Edgar Allan Poe into German.  The novel was inspired by James Joyce's novel "Finnegans Wake", particularly Schmidt's use of columns (his "SpaltenTechnik"), which Schmidt claimed was borrowed from the "Wake".

Nyoka the Jungle Girl: Nyoka the Jungle Girl is a fictional character created for the screen in the 1941 serial "Jungle Girl", starring Frances Gifford as Nyoka Meredith.  The character of Nyoka is often described as having been created by Edgar Rice Burroughs; however, although the serial was officially based on Burroughs' story "Jungle Girl" (first appearing in the pulp magazine, "Blue Book", and later published as a novel), there is no character named Nyoka and no Nyoka-like character in the original story.  The movie's credits list Burroughs along with six other writers, but his input on creating the film character was obviously minimal, because the studio later was able to use the name "Nyoka" in a sequel without crediting Burroughs at all.  After the initial film, Nyoka appeared in comic books published by Fawcett, Charlton, and AC Comics.
